The hotel has really fallen into ruin which is a shame. The rooms are in dire need of getting a makeover. Half the rooms were closed undergoing renovation so I’m curious to return to see how much it has improved. Regardless, in the current condition it’s in, it’s priced far too high. The other downside was also that the beach is not private so there’s a lot of people and the beach is also in poor condition with plastics that aren’t cleaned in front of the rooms. I did love the food and the staff were great.

14 days stay

I went here for the second time. This round i had 14nights. Had some problems in the beginning with cleaning off room. But when i took it up with management they turned it around and made sure the rest off the stay was without anything to complain about. The staff, kitchen, waiters, security and rest is doing a fantastic job to make you feel welcomed and without anything. Good location, good food and nice place overall. Had the room with view over the sea. Recommended to stay there.

I love that it was entertainment after dinner. The staff was very friendly. The cleanliness of the room was not good, very dusty, had to request housekeeping for cleanliness my first day there and the shower was always cold. The pricing is overated. When its all inclusive I thought it was everything included. I was charged 600 dalasi for ice cream (room service).

Unique: proximity and view of the Ocean. The landscape. The pictures are true Good WiFi , back up generator really handy as we had frequent power outages (NAWEC still haven’t got their sh*t together. Business suffering as a result.) Staff is amazing. Quick check in process, actually had us in our rooms before checking time as we arrived early from a long tiresome flight. The rooms are spacious but not sure what happened with the doors, wall paint - poor workmanship I guess. Definitely not meeting the standards of a hotel of this class and price. Great stay overall

Worst experience in the Gambia! Terrible hotel!

Worst experience in the Gambia! Terrible hotel! I do not recommend this facility. There are no separate non-smoking areas. It smells of cigarettes everywhere. Fatal food. At breakfast in tomatoes, I found worms. Very dirty pool and beach. The staff washes the terraces and poured dirty water into the pool! Lots of rubbish on the beach (including gross cigarette butts). There was no electricity in the hotel several times a day. The air conditioning was not working for this reason. In addition, a lot of mosquitoes. The hotel does NOTHING to counteract them! Hotel not worth the money. I absolutely do not recommend it. This is the worst property I have slept in in West Africa!

Has so much potential but needs much improvement.

The hotel is very visually appealing, but the service and restaurant food (excluding breakfast) is pretty poor. We arrived for 2pm for our check in only to be told that the room was not ready, we waited around an hour before finally being told that rooms were ready. For the money that we paid I was expecting a much higher standard of food and service to be on offer, the amount of times I had to get up and ask for someone to come and take our orders was ridiculous, and you almost have to scream for attention at the bar to get served, it wasn’t even particularly busy, I could see staff talking amongst themselves whilst ignoring customers, many of the people that we spoke to had a similar experience. On a positive note there was a customer service rep that came round to get feedback so it seems like they are working on this. I haven’t even touch on the fact that the rooms had no towels or shower gel, called the reception at least 4 times to get this and they did nothing until I approached reception 2 days later to complain.

Un beau potentiel, mais des améliorations nécessaires. J’ai séjourné récemment au Tamala Resort , et je dois dire que le cadre est agréable, entre plage et piscine. Le personnel est globalement aimable, et à mon arrivée, un agent m’a gentiment aidé avec mes bagages. Cela dit, au moment du départ (check-out), aucun accompagnement n’a été proposé, ce qui m’a un peu déçu, surtout pour un établissement qui vise un certain standing. Concernant la chambre, la propreté reste moyenne et mériterait un meilleur suivi. L’hôtel gagnerait aussi à fournir davantage d’accessoires de base : dentifrice, brosse à dents, chaussons, etc. Quand on voyage, on s’attend à retrouver un minimum de confort sans avoir à tout apporter soi-même. L’établissement semble avoir besoin d’une rénovation globale : matelas, sanitaires, équipements, ambiance… cela se ressent dans les détails. La salle de sport est correcte, mais basique, et pourrait être améliorée. Autre point : la “piscine privée” indiquée pour certaines chambres n’est en réalité pas totalement privée, mais partagée avec d’autres chambres de la même catégorie. Cela peut poser problème à certains clients, notamment ceux qui recherchent une vraie intimité (familles, couples, ou clients de cultures plus strictes). Côté restauration : je suis arrivé au brunch à 15h, et bien que le service ait été réduit à moins de 30 minutes, aucun geste commercial n’a été proposé. J’ai même dû payer l’espresso à part, ce qui n’est pas habituel dans ce

Stümperhaft Renovierung der Zimmer, Terrassenschiebetür beschädigt und nicht zu verschließen. Bezahlte Halbpension wurde nicht geliefert, sondern wegen Renovierung geschlossen- hätte vor Vertragsabschluss angekündigt werden müssen! Ich hätte so nicht gebucht. Allerdings Angestellte waren alle sehr nett und freundlich.
