    missing amenities

    The Double Room with Garden View offered a comfortable ambiance, perfect for a couple’s getaway. The pool area provided a nice escape for relaxation after a long day.

    This unexpected delay made the arrival after a lengthy journey more stressful than it should have been. the room didn't come with the expected amenities for the price paid, leaving us with mixed feelings about the value offered during our stay.

    What a lekker spot to chill for a few days! The room was massive and so nicely done. The staff were just super friendly and helpful. Got a double room with a pool view and the vibes were top-notch. Definitely felt like a little slice of paradise!

    Just a bit of a schlep with the check-in. took longer than expected.

    The outdoor dining area was a lovely spot to relax and enjoy meals while soaking up the sun, though service was occasionally a bit slow during busy hours.

    friendly staff
    confusing check-in

    This hotel is the perfect escape for relaxation. The staff's friendliness and willingness to help immediately made me feel at home. I absolutely loved the spacious Double Room with Pool View, which was beautifully furnished and contributed to a serene atmosphere. The outdoor pool area was a peaceful retreat after exploring nearby attractions, and I found the location convenient, with easy access to Kunta Kinteh beach bar, which is open late for dinner—perfect for solo dining.

    The check-in process could be confusing at times, which added some stress to my arrival.

    Perfect beach getaway!

    The location was just perfect, right on the beach! I really loved how spacious the room was with that gorgeous view. The staff were super friendly and always ready to help. the outdoor dining area was a nice chill spot for meals, but sometimes it took a while to get service during peak hours.

    I had an amazing stay with delightful meals and a room that overlooked the beach, providing a picturesque view every morning. The massage treatments were just what I needed after a long day of exploring, and the outdoor pool area was perfect for unwinding. 🏖️

    stressful check-in
    slow service

    The week-long stay was redeemed by the comfortable Double Room with Garden View and the delicious risotto at the restaurant, which was a highlight. While the ambiance of the place was nice, the service could be improved, particularly during busy times.

    Couldn't recommend more for a city escape

    Spacious room, beautiful pool, the outdoor dining area made for a delightful breakfast experience while soaking up the sun and the location is conveniently situated just 14 km from the nearest airport for easy access.

    Couldn’t have been happier.
