I stayed at this hotel during April 2007 and had a fantastic time. Gambia is a complete cultural experience like nothing else I had experienced before!

The hotel was basic but what can you expect for a developing country? The outdoor pool area was lovely and the location, right on the beach, was perfect! The only downside was that the resort centre was about 10 minutes walk away (although much quicker during the daytime when it was possible to walk across the beach to get there) and the sea itself, being thr Atlantic Ocean, was not good for swimming.

The Gambian people are the friendliest I have ever met, although you do need to wise up to bumsters! The hotel staff were brilliant though and they will advise you and even show you around their country themselves if you befriend them (which is easy to do). We have made lifelong friends from the Palm Beach Hotel, and got to experience the proper Gambian way of life by being invited for tea with some of the hotel staff back in their houses.

I would happily return to this hotel and this country and would be comfident of another great holiday.
