lovely beach vacation
friendly staff main pool beach sunloungers sand traders
The staff at the hotel was helpful and friendly. the main pool was great. It was located right next to the restaurant. the beach offered soft mattresses on the sun loungers and i enjoyed cocktails there. i liked that the traders remained on the sand and only approached me when i requested.
The water pressure in the shower was low. It was difficult to have a shower past a certain point in the day

a peaceful beachside retreat
direct beach access soft mattress visible security helpful staff
i really liked the direct beach access this hotel offered. there were plenty of sun loungers and soft mattresses for relaxation. security personnel were always visible, patrolling and ensuring safety. i found the staff very helpful and always happy to assist with any requests.
the tv in the room had limited channels and sometimes the signal was weak, hard to watch.

the staff were friendly and approachable, they addressed issues promptly. restaurant staff provided attentive service during breakfast, and were quick to clear tables. i appreciated the personalized attention i received , though some could improve customer interaction at dinner time.
Rooms

The room was spacious with a balcony, and it also included deck chairs. the four-poster bed came with mosquito nets, which i appreciated. the rooms were comfortable and well maintained by the room service staff. The bathroom however only had a shower curtain for privacy.
Facilities
9/10
The hotel has a well kept pool area with available furniture to use. The gardens are kept immaculate. the beach is easily accessible, however it has suffered some erosion due to recent storms. the location is within walking distance of the senegambia strip and restaurants are close by.
