    Amazing place with free wi-fi, 24-hour reception, and a relaxing outdoor pool. The staff once assisted me with currency exchange, which I remember fondly. I recommend enjoying the spa treatments. I'm coming back for Christmas!

    beach area
    colorful decor
    family-friendly pool
    lack of kiddie area

    The beach area was a hit with my kids, and we all enjoyed exploring the local vibe in Serrekunda. The pool was perfect for cooling off after our day out, and the colorful decor really brightened our stay.

    My wife says that a kiddie area would be great for the little ones.

    entertainment location
    beach proximity
    management response
    limited amenities

    One simple answer, yes or no?

    Superb location near the beach! provided good entertainment with live local bands six nights a week.

    Poor management response to guest feedback needs improvement! limited amenities like no fridge in the room.

    The large room was a highlight, featuring a comfortable bed and an ensuite bathroom with a great hot shower. Evening entertainment included live local bands, creating a relaxing atmosphere by the pool. The diversity of food, particularly the seasonal dishes, was impressive, with meals that felt like a solid three-star experience.

    pool area
    evening entertainment
    wifi issues

    The pool area screams relaxation with plenty of sun beds and a fresh feel to the water. Evening entertainment like music and dance performances created a fun vibe that made spending time there delightful.

    The free WiFi barely covered the rooms, making it tough to catch up with anything online. Breakfast options felt limited with only basic choices, and there seemed to be a perpetual problem with laundry services being overpriced, leaving clothes smelling nice yet still not clean. The presence of older guests gave the place a rather quiet ambiance, which might not suit everyone looking for a lively atmosphere.

    I was happy with the large room. the ensuite bathroom was good with a great hot shower. Aircon worked perfectly. Just a heads up, no toiletries provided, only towels and toilet roll. Room was clean, but could use a fridge. Beds were comfy though! Pretty spacious overall.
