    I had a large room complete with climate control, a safe, and multi-channel TV. It was an ideal location right by the BEAUTIFUL GAMBIA, beach bars and Marouun's supermarket.

    The hotel was beautifully kept, I appreciated its exceptional stuff. Location: the venue was close enough to dining places as well as a platform a foot higher than the rest of the bathroom. It also was close to the beech...

    The location is good. Not directly on the beach, but only about 400 meters away. The spacious apartment with separate living room and bedroom and a well-equipped kitchen is also very nice.

    The price-performance ratio.

    I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The cleanliness of the rooms and the hotel facilities were top-notch. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, with the beach just a short walk away and plenty of beach bars to choose from. Additionally, there were supermarkets nearby for convenience.

    Nothing, all was good.

    The rooms were very spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. We were pleasantly surprised by the pool and the lovely, quiet area where we could relax. The staff were extremely friendly and always happy to help with any queries we had. The location was great for exploring the city, with plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance.

    We did have some issues with the cleanliness of the bathroom, as there was a bit of a musty smell and the shower curtain was a bit too long and kept getting in the way. , the room we were originally assigned wasn't quite up to standard, but the staff were quick to rectify this and move us to a nicer one.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful residence and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The rooms were immaculate and the attention to detail was impressive. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to ensure a fantastic stay. The location was perfect, just a short walk away from a beautiful beach. I highly recommend this place for its great value for money and outstanding service.

    All aspects of my stay were wonderful and couldn't have been better.
