Lemon Creek Hotel Resort

La ubicación, las instalaciones…

La 3r cama de algunas habitaciones es muy incómoda

Das Frühstück ist lecker und es gibt einiges an Auswahl. Die Mitarbeiter sind super nett und immer sehr bemüht die Wünsche zu erfüllen. Nachts kann man das Meer hören.

Dafür kann keiner was, aber es gab recht viele Moskitos. Die Matratzen waren schon etwas weicher.

Un véritable havre de paix luxuriant et très bien entretenu. Le personnel est très souriant et sympathique. La plage est super, comme la piscine. Le buffet du petit déjeuner varié et très bon. Tout était parfait. Hâte de revenir!

The hotel`s loction is its best feature - overlooking a long sandy beach away from the busy, sometimes noisy Senegambia main tourist area. The superior room we had was a good size with super king sized bed, a seating area, small fridge, safe, wardrobe, a/c (10 Euros per day extra) and separate bathroom with toilet, sink and shower. The bed and seating area were both comfortable. The balcony was another good feature; it was lovely to sit out there in the cool of the evening or early morning listening to the waves crashing on the beach. The breakfast selection was very basic when we first arrived - only 6 of the 56+ rooms were occupied - but as the number of guests increased so did the breakfast slection. A lunch or an evening meal could also be purchased in the restaurant; we never tried the lunches but the evening meal selection was reasonable, tasty and at a good price.

Like most Gambian hotels, expect things to be less than perfect. The hotel as a whole is looking a little tired and in need of renovation but after having very little income from guests for the past two years due to the pandemic the usual maintance budget will have been cut so it is understandable. As we left work was well underway to "tart" the place up but there was still lots to do. Our first room had a loose toilet that let sewage smell into the bathroom and the expected kettle was missing, Luckily, a better postioned room became available the next day and we were transferred there - its kettle was also missing though. The expected change in wind direction normally around mid-November was late and the humidity and temperatures were both high so I had to pay extra for a/c but the a/c`s remote control was broken and temperature was stuck at 24C - I would have preferred a cooler room temperature for sleep in. I mentioned the issue a few times but we weren`t able to synchronise finding the right person to fix the problem with access to the room. The locals like to visit the beach on a Saturday evening and party - you might find the music goes on until the early hours so this may or may not be an issue.
