    I like this place and will come back.

    Sometimes some components of a breakfast disappeared too fast. The environment outside can be- sometimes a bit noisy.

    Nice, large and quiet place, full of plants. Swiming pool, of course. Nice personel. Beautiful, singing birds (and NOT bothersome). Not far from the ocean.

    Great budget accommodation. If the proprietor could do a refurbishment it'd be an even better hotel!

    The only thing I didn't like was that most night there would be the sound of creatures (rats/mice, probably not lizards?) rapidly scurrying from one end of the ceiling or roof to the other. Quite unnerving until I got used to it! The ceiling was properly sealed, so I had no fear of the little critters accessing my bungalow unit, but disconcerting nonetheless.

    Breakfast, while not particularly creative, was passable. The great thing is that attention is paid to hygiene and so there are no worries of getting an upset stomach! Food options were European continental, so familiar food for what I assume are the majority of guests. I like that the cleaning service asked if I needed laundry refreshed, rather than simply changing it automatically every other day or so. For what was provided the hotel was exceptional value for money (with a great swimming pool!)

    The beds was a very uncomfortable After a long day at the beach we got some food from a restaurant Solomon's to bring back to the hotel when we arrived back I asked reception for sum plates and forks and was told to go to the hotel restaurant when I reached the restaurant I was told that the hotel doesn't offer plates and cutlery to guests to take back to the room i eventually got the plates and cutlery but I became an issue every time we needed anything from cups to plates to cutlery

    Location was good pool was amazing my kids really enjoyed it. Breakfast was good and tasty same selection everyday but you expect that from a buffet. Staff are amazing very friendly and always willing to help adama was truly truly amazing thank you for going the extra mile for me and my family

    the breakfast organisation needs a few tweaks but i believe they are in hand

    the bungalow rooms were spacious .. the pool is huge and a small pop up massage tent by the pool side if you fancy a little pampering

    Wifi kept dropping out. No signal on tv ( we didn't use it but some might want it ). Patron Lounge is an excellent asset to the hotel but maybe overpriced for the area/clientel.

    Large pool & nice outside bar area. Large rooms, excellent friendly staff, food from bar very good.

    Fridge, airco or fan aren't included in room price. We expected this for a 4* hotel. After talking to manager we did got the fan for free. The super bungalow is just one big room were the kids beds were added plus a bathroom.. Breakfast isn't great either.

    Great and beautiful location, the pool is fantastic. Lots of helpful staff. Nice outside hotelbar and night activities.

    breakfast horrible, environment full of grass and mosquitoes and above all no bars or social activities there.

    it was off season, almost all facilities were none existence and was not value for money. apart from accommodation,, I’ll not advice anyone to book a stay at Palma Rima hotel in Banjul during off seasons.

    It was clearly being run with only a handful of staff. WiFi was only available in a corner of the reception area and nowhere else. No bottle of water in the fridge. We had to walk to reception to order breakfast. All that was available was fried egg with baked beans and possibly mushrooms, bread and jam, an orange drink and one cup of coffee, which was eventually brought to the room to be eaten from the dressing table.

    Air conditioning in room. Room was large as was shower. Staff were friendly
