Hotel in zona Makasutu, Kombo North

We originally booked 2 weeks after reading reviews, price and location. We had an excellent stay. Firstly the staff are a credit to the hotel,from the reception staff to the gardeners, happy smiling faces everywhere. If u need anything just ask. The gardens and pool area is quiet and peaceful and is constantly being cleaned and tidied. The food was good but you can easily walk to the main ***** for a change of scenery and see how the locals go about there life. This is Gambia its not greece or Spain so don't expect the same. We just walked 10 mins from hotel several times for food and drinks and enjoyed the experience. We decided to stay another 10 days the manager showed us several other rooms but decided to stay put. We'll done Balafon

È un posto molto buono

Prettig rustig resort wat ook voor business events wordt gebruikt waardoor redelijk goed internet. Hadden swimupkamer aan westkant daar heb je veel zon, kamers aan oostkant hebben alleen in ochtend zon. Goede zwembaden. Wij hadden logies. Ontbijt is wat eentonig maar internationaal simpel. Je kunt prima in restaurants eromheen eten, veel sfeer, veilig en je kijkt je ogen uit. Hebben 2 x op resort gegeten ook prima met live muziek erbij. The gym valt tegen,1 loopband die het niet doet, een afgedankte roeimachine en wat half kapotte fietsen en weinig oefen materiaal. Spa heeft goede massage maar de rest is minder en ze rekenen Europese prijzen en dat is te hoog voor dit land. Zwembaden en strand zijn prima, het is een wat rustiger gedeelte en weinig last van opdringerige mensen. Mensen zijn op resort en ook in hele land erg aardig. Natuurlijk wordt je buiten het resort snel aangesproken voor een taxi of local guide maar dat hoort bij dit land. Het was een byzondere Afrikaanse ervaring.

We have stayed at The Kairaba Beach Hotel for many years. We have seen it at it's best and now seen it at it's worst. Covid has a lot to answer for. It is so sad to see this Grand hotel so empty this year. Our first thought was to move hotels, but we have made many friends here at the hotel and feel at home here when we arrive. We decided to stay and even though the hotel is practically empty and working on a skeleton staff we felt obliged to stay and support. As usual the staff can't do enough for us. The management decided to allow local people to use the pool at a fee, and this has been taken up by them especially on the weekend. It gets very busy with lots of families n children most of whom can't swim. Which in turn is hard for the one pool attendent to manage as there can be up to 30 to 40 people in the pool. I understand that the management needs to bring in revenue but an extra pool attendent should be employed at the weekend. We need Whalley back at the pool❤️❤️ Breakfast is poor n not what we are used to, but on saying that we haven't gone hungry, it is once again so sad to see so few people in the hotel thus not a great selection and no buzz from it at breakfast from not being busy with guests. On the up side if we request something it is there the next day. On the whole yes it is quiet, we are under the impression that they no longer have a contract with Tui at the moment n can only be found on Gambia Experience which is expensive for the quality of the hotel at the moment. Personally I think that the hotel wasn't ready to accept guest in time for the winter holidays and with this, and what seems poor management from an higher level this once booming grand hotel has slipped into a sorry state. Hopefully with the support of regular guests that still belive in her and a higher better management plan the Grand old lady will get back to how she use to be once again in this fantastic location. We will always support as long as we are able thank you to all the stay you are doing an amazing job under the circumstances ❤️❤️

Apartamentos muy confortables y cómodos, los que estan en el lado de la carretera son un poco mas ruidosos pero los que dan a la piscina son muy tranquilos. El servicio es muy atento y agradable, tanto los recepcionistas (especial mención a Amidu) como los camareros y las señoras de la limpieza. A 10 minutos de la playa
