Gambia Resorts | Places to Stay in Gambia
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).

Fabulous African Luxury
Reviewed By nicolaoI1229MWWe had a really lovely time at this beautiful hotel. The Reception and Guest Relations team could not have been more helpful, the waiting staff friendly, polite and efficient. In fact all the staff were super from the management to the cleaning and grounds team. Rather than leave tips as we went along we left 10% of our bill total at the end which is shared among the staff. The location was fabulous and sun-beds and cabanas plentiful and comfortable. The spa was beautiful and compared to other hotels of the same standard very reasonably priced. We ate at the hotel a lot and didn’t have a bad meal - the Thai was especially lovely (we didn’t realise you could have the Thai menu in either of the restaurants) and again not too pricey. All in all a fabulous stay - we will be back.

Still recovering after covid. but not 5 star.
Reviewed By DouglasR1318The hotel rates itself as a 5star, tui rates it a 4star, but 3star would be more honest. Tui have a lot to answer for, they need to do spot checks on hotels to make sure they are up to scratch and before anyone sys covid, i have recently come back from Sti Lanka and was in Mauritius when it opened last October. The area around the Balafon is full of closed down hotels, and this has affected the amount of local restaurants and shops that area available. take note if you are only on B&B, with that in mind the menu for half/full board residents is limited, but the food is good. One moan, if you want a quiet romantic dinner, forget it, evening entertainment is in the restaurant and can be quite loud. also the restaurant allows smoking??? The beach is on the doorstep, you can walk straight from the pool to the sea. plenty of sunbeds and there is a life guard. Plenty of hawkers on the beach, but they will not disturb you if you are sunbathing. Security guards are present. Only problem is the bech area does smell of urine, plenty of dogs and cats around the area. I had a room with its own pool. The room needs a total refurbishmet. There was no sugar or milk with the tea making facilities, i had a towell for the shower room floor for 2 days, never replaced, no toiletries apart from a bar of soap, no saop dish, no where in the shower for flannel, soap or shampoo,, apart from the floor? We were told when we checked in that there was no TV? it never worked for the whole holiday.

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.

Better not staying in this "Hotel"
Reviewed By chrisskywalkerI booked this "Hotel" with the travel agancy "FTI". Rooms are dirty, zink was broken, no hot water, electricity out from 9 am till 5 pm every day. Breakfast was just Nescafe or tea, baguette, 1 kind of marmelade, cucumbers, tomatoes, butter, 1 kind of juice and just one fried egg (on request). The worst "Hotel" I ever stayed in!
