Check-in was fast and smooth. When we entered the room, we noticed our teenager did not have a bed. Housekeeping brought a foldout bed. The room had an infestation of some of the biggest ants we've seen. When I alerted housekeeping, they informed me it was rainy season, hence excessive bugs. We met the operations manager in the dining area and told her about my room. She sent housekeeping with a bug spay, and they were ordered to leave it in the room with us. We were given one towel for three people. When I requested more towels, housekeeping gave us towels that had brown stains on them. When we said something, she said, "It's just a little stain." I kindly asked that she find two that weren't stained. The food at the restaurant was exceptional. In fact, the restaurant staff was awesome. However, the property has a pregnant cat that walks around and sits close while you're eating. This wouldn't be a problem if one of my family members didn't have a cat allergy. Lastly, if you are traveling with small children, be aware that the pool does not have a lifeguard. My husband had to perform CPR on a small child who got into difficulties in the pool. Thankfully, we got word that the child was going to be okay. When we checked out, the receptionist manager thanked my husband for saving the child's life. I think it would be helpful if all staff that works around the pool are effectively trained to perform CPR. Overall, our stay was just okay.

Nice location, they listed there are wifi in all the rooms, but it turned out there was no wifi in the rooms , only outside the hotel rooms you will have access to their wifi, and i specifically booked that hotel because of the access to wifi. So they should correct that wrong information on your expedia website.

Just ok
I traveled with my kid and loved their kiddie pool. I love the bungalow rooms , was clean , comfy bed , just the bathroom is too small and the shower position is bad. The server forgot to serve one of my orders at the restaurant. Breakfast was a bit boring and someone who prepared the watermelon slices probably didn’t wash his hands as it tasted perfume .

Night was charged twice
I Have made a reservation for 2 nights, but when I arrived, hotel management informed me that the 2nd night was not booked, and hotel was full. I had to book myself another accomodation without any help, and they charged me for that 2nd night. Besides, the wifi connection is poor and no wifi in the rooms

What a beautiful stay my partner and I had there. The setting is like a Tropical Oasis, the rooms are clean, the food delicious and the staff helpful and friendly. Not to mention transport is easy to get and there are some great bars and restaurants within reasonable distance. Thanks Sunset for making our stay enjoyable.

Nice environment
Booked because of price and wifi in rooms. Disappointed that wifi was only available in the lobby and even then it was terrible. Not sure if that's the hotels fault or Expedia's for not being transparent about wifi availability in rooms.

TOP marks for this hotel
I was a single traveller and paid for a standard room, this turned out too a small bungalow in beautiful gardens. It's a small complex hotel very friendly clean and nothing is too much trouble. I would definately recommend this hotel and will be going back .

Good experience
We stayed for a week and enjoyed it. Good location beside the beach with plenty of local bars nearby! Staff are very friendly and helpful! The rooms are a good size but not in the best condition but its The Gambia and this should be expected! Overall a good place to stay

THE GAMBIAN EXPERIENCE.
We booked an apartment but were given the wrong room(a deluxe standard, more like a dungeon!) we reported to reception immediately but were assured the room was correct. We accepted the room for the first night as it was getting late and arranged to see the manager the following morning. The manager was not available, but eventually we were given the correct room. For the duration of the holiday(21 days) no manager or apology!!!
