I had a family emergency back home ( stroke ) so internet was important but receiving information was not possible as the WiFi is sporadic or nonexistent,

The usual friendly staff and location was good for my purpose

There is a Chinese fishmeal factory nearby. When there is a delivery of fish, thick smoke soon comes out of the factory, the air stinks, and production waste is released into the water. They catch several tons of fish every few days. Sometimes hundreds of dead fish are thrown into the ocean. Huge environmental devastation and loss for the area and its inhabitants. I feel very sorry for them. Fishermen have poor catches, tourism suffers, and residents endure periodic stench and pollution. I know the locals are trying to fight back. A few years ago they tried to burn down the factory. Many people were arrested. The Chinese factory is still operating - without filters, sewage treatment plants. The robbery economy continues.

Hotel right on the beach. In the morning you eat breakfast looking at the ocean waves. Simple but clean rooms. Excellent food in the restaurant - fish and seafood outstanding. On Sunday you can watch traditional Gambian wrestling. Very helpful and nice service.

Since the resort is kept so clean, I was suprised that the beach is not. It is not that bad though and it's the global circonstances result.   Being so close to the fish factory can be a bummer too, for some people, when the wind is blowing on the wrong side. It doesn't happen often so this is not a reason to overlook all the positive aspect of the place.

I liked that the hotel is directly on the beach and there is no unsolicited attention present on it.  We didn't see other resort so close to the ocean in the area, which is a very good value for the money. The staff is very friendly, helpful and available.  We felt important to them.  The room and resort area is kept very clean.   Improvements are made every day without causing trouble to the customers. The proximity of the fishing village provides visual entertainment without disturbing the peace.  Very friendly (and quiet) people there too.

Room has no security, you can lock the door but there are about 2 or three windows that just slide open, no locking on them. There are security people who do walk about.

Good English breakfast for 350 dalassi, right on the beach, happy staff, long beach, watch the boats going out and coming in with their catch. Good size room with hot water shower. Cheer full staff.

The bathroom door in our room could not close, it always wanted to stay open. It's nice to have privacy when you go to the toilet and it was very hard to do so when the door would not shut. We always had to put something heavy behind the door to close it. We could not get wifi in our room, which was really annoying. We had to stand outside in 1 area to get it and often would get bit by mosquitoes while catching the wifi. Also the ants made such a mess every morning next to the door.

The location is wonderful. Right on the beach and the workers are nice. Sang was very attentive, polite, friendly and kind. He always wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. He answered questions I had about the area and was the perfect worker. I hope to see him working there in the future when we return. The value for what we paid for was good. It was so nice to have air conditioning and a fan in the room.

the smell from the fish factory some meters away. that,s really bad many times. the daily ( late afternoon ) noise from the ( new ) drumming school and same time the drumming from the neighbour resort. the dirty beach ! the sandy area from the premises could be cleaned more. plastic, cigarettes, cans.... e.g.

room ( even basic ) good for my 20 nights, everythink working and clean. now ( unlike my stay in October and November last year ) good wifi on weekdays ( weekends to many people using it ) good food, this time also Indian yummy food. during the week after the drummings good quiet nights for sleeping. owner always available if any problem would be.

Just be careful with paying at the restaurant (usually you don't pay straight away, it's done at the end of a day or your stay). They might add to your bill some things you didn't order.

Friendly staff and tasty food. Rooms are basic but there is everything you need. And they have hot water! 😊

Due to covid I know they haven't earned the money to do painting from the rainy season but I am sure that will be done in time , this is only on the exterior walls which does happen in The Gambia after the rainy season

A place that can make you sick. A disaster. I wouldn't let my dogs live in that place either. Full of lizards in the room that reach through the broken roof, countless mosquitoes. Conditions worthy of the Middle Ages. I would send the owner of that place to prison. Conditions like in a torture camp.

Nothing

Nothing to dislike, WiFi was a little unreliable. A fridge in room would be wonderful to keep water cold.

The accommodation is great right on the beach.

I felt deeply in love in the place and as a full time Traveller this is something else to all the other accommodations I've stayed in so far. Let me tell you, we are talking about 36 countries over 4 years of constant travelling. Jawla the owner of the place is a special human being, great communicator, with solid values and humanity. I learned a lot from him and I definitely recommend you to check this place out ASAP. His staff is also lovely and they make sure to accommodate every guest's needs and expectations. I checked in for a couple of days and I ended up staying for an entire month and It was really difficult to leave! In conclusion, It felt home more than my actual home! A piece of my heart will be staying in this place! ❤️❤️
