7 All-inclusives in Gambia: Best hotel deals for 2023
This small country in western Africa has become more popular recently as a beach destination for European travelers. It’s a relatively short flight, there’s no time difference, and lodging is generally very affordable. River Island National Park in Banjul is fantastic for watching wildlife (especially the native baboons).

Amazing place to stay!
Reviewed By JMTN5Firstly a big thank you to all the staff at Senegambia Beach Hotel for the warm greeting that you get at the reception upon arrival which continued till the day I checked out (Special thank you to Kanye and Simba for always seeing to my every request). This hotel is in the heart of Senegambia and hot spot for nightly entertainment / restaurants / mini Art & Craft Market which are only seconds away from the entrance. The hotel is surrounded with rich lush garden with exotic birds and monkeys floating about. Rooms are spacious and cleaned daily, breakfast is buffet good but limited on the amount of fresh juices avaliable (orange juice is not freshly pressed) and hot beverages (mainly selection of tea or lack of herbal teas) but you do get to try the Gambian breakfast selection which was pretty good. Reception area is very calm and relaxing full of Art work which you can view. There is a currency exchange bureau within the hotel so no need foe concern on going out to change your currency. There is nightly entertainment imside the hotel ( selective days) and restaurant on site which is a bonus if you don't want to go out of site to eat. Outside the hotel there are plenty to do and see and you will get your usual locals trying to sell you things whilst walking along the beach, if you're not interested please make sure this is relayed to them firmly as they can be persistent and continue asking. Will definitely be back again...Thank you Senegambia Beach Hotel for a pleasant stay.

An amazing holiday
Reviewed By StevenHigham26We stayed at the Ocean Bay Hotel for 10 nights in April. I have to say it was one of the best holidays ever. The hotel is set in beautiful gardens with direct access into a wide sandy beach. What really makes this hotel special are the employees. Everyone goes out of their way to help and are all friendly and efficient. The service offered is second to none. The rooms were clean and quiet with excellent air con. We stayed on an all inclusive basis and the food was plentiful and of a good quality. Already looking forward to a return trip.

Totally mis sold holiday. Worst hotel we have stayed in!!
Reviewed By Shaun WWe arrived at the hotel Tamala Hotel on 27th March 2022 and should have stayed there until 10 April 2022. However due to the issues we have detailed below we booked our flights to come home early at our own cost on 30th March 2022. The Tamala Hotel was misleadingly described by TUI to be 4 star all Inclusive hotel however we experienced the following problems, the food was very poor quality and repetitive, the rooms and toilet were dirty, there was mould around the shower, rust on the tiles on the bathroom floor, the balcony did not meet health and safety standards, no smoke alarm, bare wires exposed on the balcony, air conditioning unit was leaking dirty water on to the floor, seating area on the balcony was dirty with ripped cushions, towels were not changed daily, at times there was no running water to wash or shower, given one bottle of water to last two weeks, no toilet paper, the door to our room has been damaged so was difficult to lock, a light fitting was not securely fastened to the ceiling. Also when ordering drinks at the bar dirty glasses were washed in cold water and dried with a serviette then fresh drinks poured into glasses for other guests to use. This is not hygienic in the current climate with the risk of Covid infection high at present. The information in respect of food and drink stated “at lunch and dinner you can pick from an international a la carte menu”. The holiday was booked as all inclusive and no where does it mention you have to pay for the a la carte menu. The information also “stated a snack bar is on hand for lighter bites to eat throughout the day” This was not available and not all drinks were included in the all inclusive package for example diet coke and Hoergaarden beer. We complained to the TUI representative Pete on our first day of arrival who said your 4 star rating was Gambian standards which is wrong as TUI standards should be the same for every hotel they offer. Pete said he would note our concerns and request to see if we could change hotel to The African Princess as it was the same 4 star rating however he failed to mention it was not all inclusive so we would have had further costs in respect of food and drink. We viewed the hotel and on face value it looked far better and cleaner than Tamala and possibly deserved a 4 Star rating. Pete said the African Princess hotel was soulless.

Reviewed By R3332CJsarahpMy partner and I stayed here for a week in February and had the most amazing time. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the surroundings beautiful, and the food excellent. Staying in Brufut was perfect for us because it was very chilled and you could easily get to the beach. Last but definitely not least the staff were all extremely kind, friendly and attentive, and would chat with us about where to go / help us out with anything. Would really highly recommend!

5 minutes from the beach
Reviewed By sturob47A large complex with rooms and bungalows and a very large pool. Been here twice and both times been a little disappointed, now in May 2022 they only had 9 guests in the whole complex so bar and restaurant were inevitably closed, couldn't even buy a bottle of water. A major problem with this place for me is lack of internet in the rooms so forced to go to reception to get a connection .

Nice holiday week in february 2020
Reviewed By Kriz1973We (family with 1 daughter aged 11) had a great holiday at the sun beach hotel last February. Hotel service was good. Staff were very friendly and dedicated. I particularly want to mention Omar Jallo from the animation and Babucarr Barry from the hotel bar. They made our stay even more enjoyable. The hotel is located on the beach. Lovely to lie there on a beach bed. The hotel food was good. Had a great week. We will come back again for sure.
