Senegambia Beach Hotel

Nice clean place, very wonderful staff doing the food facilities. My check-in receptionist was not very welcoming. House cleaning Wednesday staff stole my MacBook Pro charger. Yes the hotel has a room safe but forgot to secure all my chargers so they choose to take the Apple charger. The beach is not bad. In the mornings the water comes all the way up to the rocks. The one swimming pool is nice with the center water bar other swimming pool is away from the beach. I think it is a wonderful family friendly place as they have the feeding of the vultures at 11:30am everyday and the monkeys are seen during breakfast time on the rooftops. Water and drinks are best bought at the mini supermarket outside the resort.

I stayed at the hotel for a week and was pleasantly surprised by its cleanliness and well kept gardens. My (superior) was spacious and had a powerful shower, hairdryer, fridge safe and aircon. I borrowed a kettle from the reception for the time of my stay so I could have a coffee on my balcony early in the morning before breakfast. Breakfast itself was good with eggs freshly prepared, a choice of fresh fruit, juices, various bread types, cereals, local specialities and more. The staff at the various restaurants was attentive and always ready for a little chat. In particular Kebba and Sophie were very kind and professional and our conversations made my stay even more enjoyable. The hotel as a so-called „quiet“ pool where I liked to relax as the other pool attracted families and had music being played. On top there‘s the safe-guardedbeach with the occasional local passing by trying to sell local titbits. The gym was well equipped but not always open during stay as it was low season and the time of some religious holidays. However, I always found somebody to open it for me. In the large compound you‘ll see many types of birds (especially vultures being fed daily at 11:30) and occasionally there are monkeys and lizards around. In the street leading up to the hotel there are plenty of money changers, mini markets, restaurants and bars. I really enjoyed my stay here!

Location is great, couple of pools and small private beach. Standard rooms are terrible, don’t even think about booking one. The amenities look OK but it’s inconsistent operating hours let it down. There is a bar on the beach that doesn’t open at sunset, arguably the busiest time. Reception and breakfast staff are friendly and helpful, others not so much. Be aware that general public and other “guests “ can buy passes for pool/beach.
