    The toilet in the hut had no door and the walls don't go all the way up ;)

    The view from the patio is amazing, just on the beach. The huts were comfortable, the breakfasts were very good, with fruits etc.

    They should have tv in the rooms, and they should figure out how to pave the road from the hotel to the main road for easy access.

    The location is great; next to the Atlantic Ocean, and the beach is a few steeps away from the property, the US embassy is within 10 minutes drive from the property. You get the African feel; it really feels right at home. Staffs seem happy to be there and they do a great job.

    Cleanliness. Hot water system too hot. some beds too hard

    Breakfast was simple but very nice. Location right next to the sea Update your room to 2000 Delassi per night. NO. 1,2 and 3 are the best cabins at 2500 Delassi.

    It is a bit far from the "action". Rooms are spacious but very basic. Plenty of areas of improvement but it was the most affordable option in the area. It is easy to run out of breakfast if you show up late.

    Quiet and very close to the beach. Wifi connexion was working and there were lots of places to chill. It was not really crowded. Staff were friendly and flexible with our arrangements.

    The hotel needs lots of TLC , the rooms need to be completely renovated and cleaned we think people would be happy to pay more for this location if only someone would breath new life into it.

    This hotel’s location was beautiful with amazing views, right on the beach . The manager and staff were really lovely and tried their best to make us feel welcome. The plus point for us was that the rooms are literally on on the beach , rooms had a kitchen and a basic breakfast was included . Also location was only 10-15 mins from town

    Water pressure was sometimes low and at times no water to shower, but it didn't spoil our stay, it's Gambia and expected at times.

    Location excellent, ate in the restaurant every day, choice of food was varied and good quality. All staff were polite and friendly, room cleaned to a good standard.

    The breakfast was very basic and my husband didn’t enjoy the coffee We were in room three and the WiFi wouldn’t work inside the room

    The location of this accommodation is amazing, right on a beautiful piece of beach, near everything but on a very quiet spot.
