Hotels mit WiFi in Serekunda

Schöne Anlage da direkt am Strand. Anlage besteht aus 2 Teilen. Der eine Teil ist nicht mehr bewirtschaftet. Stört aber nicht. Es ist kein schicki Hotel, sondern klassisch bodenständig. Wer so was liebt ist hier richtig. Wer mehr schnick schnack braucht ist in dem Hotel falsch

Schöne gepflegte Anlage mit viel Vegatation und alten Bäumen, viele Vögel und manchmal mit Affenbande. Wir hatten ein Superior Zimmer gebucht, aber ein Standartzimmer erhalten, was wir erst nach einigen Tagen bemerkten. Standartzimmer sind okay, allerdings das Bad und speziell die Dusche sehr klein. Supererior Zimmer viel größer, Bad auch. Wlan dort vorhanden, sonst nur in der Rezeption. Allerdings war auch einiges in den großen Zimmer eher schlechter als in den Standartzimmern: weniger Ablagefläche im Bad, dafür Fön. Duschbrause nicht höhenverstellbar oder abnehmbar. Eine Bettdecke statt zwei, Nachttischlampen leuchteten nach oben. Zimmer näher an der Rezeption sind dem lauten Abendprogramm bis nach 22 Uhr ausgesetzt. Der Essensbereich ist sehr lieblos gestaltet und laut. Es gab quasi kein Obst. Immer die gleiche Käse- und Wurstsorte. Wir hatten nur Frühstück gebucht und waren jeden Abend in einem anderen Restaurant essen direkt am Strip vor der Tür. Sehr schön vom Ambiente u.a.The green Mamba garden oder das Scala Restaurant. Oft Lifemusic in der GT´s Bar. Am Strand waren die Plätze manchmal knapp. Die Liegen und Matten leider sehr alt. Ungewöhnlich auch, dass man für ein frisches Strandtuch Geld bezahlen muss. Wir haben 2 Ausflüge mit örtlichen Anbietern, nicht Hotel, gemacht. Banjul und raus aufs Land incl. Bootstour in den Mangrovenwäldern und Viehmärkte). Man sollte sich auf einiges Geld an Trinkgeld einstellen. Das ist sehr wichtig für die Menschen dort. Man wird viel von Verkäufern angesprochen, aber sie lassen einen in Ruhe, wenn man sagt: Maybe tomorrow oder weitergeht. Ansonsten sind sie sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Gerne wieder.

Wir hatten Glück, dass wir von Standard auf Super - wie wir jetzt wünschen, dass wir nicht waren. Die Eincheckung war eine interessante Erfahrung und trotz der bei der Auscheckung fast von unserem Zimmer durch den Reiniger gehostet wurde es keine Möglichkeit, früh in das Zimmer zu kommen, wenn es bereit war. Nicht viel wie man gehen könnte mit dem Pool und Handtüchern werden bereitgestellt. Das Zimmer war groß, sauber mit dem Badezimmer etwas gegessen mit einem gebrochenen Handtuch auf der Tür und einem Duschekopf, das ein wenig temperamental war. Die größte Frage war der Lärm aus der Bar über die Straße, der am Wochenende um 4 Uhr und um 2 Uhr in der Woche weiterging. Nicht die Hotels schuld - und weil wir nur kurz da waren wir nicht gebeten, Zimmer zu bewegen, da zunächst der Grund für die Erhöhung war der Mangel an Standardzimmer und ehrlich gesagt konnte ich nicht stören, um wieder zu verpacken und zu entpacken Wenn Sie in der Stones Gebäude ein Zimmer erhalten, würde ich Sie bitten, auf die andere Unterkunft zu verschieben. Während das Stones Gebäude hat es eigenes Pool ist es ziemlich irgendwie vom Strand (und die Hauptunterkünfte) und Hauptpool-Bereich - hinzufügen, dass zu dem Lärm aus der Bar (und es gibt eine neue Bar direkt gegenüber) es legt einen Dämpfer auf Ihre Ferien - wenn Sie nicht in die frühen Stunden trinken, dann wird es perfekt sein, da Sie nicht weit zurück zu Stadion haben. Trinken waren etwas teuer in der oberen Bar als die Strandbar (für Bier). Wir haben nicht versucht, das Essen, sondern empfehlen die Milkshakes. Gesamtlage ist gut, so weit vom Hauptbad *** und einen sehr kurzen Spaziergang zum Affenpark. Ich würde nur noch hier bleiben, wenn es in den Unterkunftsblöcken in der Nähe des Hauptpools/Strands ist.

Zum ersten Mal in Gambia, Hotel war einfach WOW, wir haben vor Ort Upgrade auf Zimmer mit Zugang zum langen swimmingpool ohne Probleme gebucht. Am Strand kann man ebenfalls young coconut für wenig Geld zum trinken direkt vom Palmenbaum erwerben. Was mir nicht ganz gefallen hat war leider die Küche. In einem All Inclusive Paket waren fast 80% der Speisen ungenießbar oder einfach ohne Geschmack. Koch muss auf jeden Fall ausgetauscht werden.

Overall I rate this hotel as 4 stars. Having said that we did have a few issues. Someone previous referred to this hotel as Fawlty Towers. For the first few days of our 18 nights stay I could see where he was coming from. Problems first. On arrival at the airport we expected to be greeted by the taxi arranged through the hotel. It was not there. After many phone calls our ride arrived. If we went again I would not bother with 30 euro taxi ride and would take a local taxi at about £20 at silly o'clock. When we arrived at the hotel a man spoke to us and claimed he was the taxi driver due to pick us up, he was on time but we told him to go away. Complete nonsense. We didn't tell anyone to go away. Even as a first timer I could tell the Gambians apart. He was definitely not there. I refused his card. No way would I use him. Our first room was large and comfortable but the safe didn't work. The next morning someone came to show me how it operated and agreed it was broken. We were immediately moved to a new room. The new room was large and comfortable but the toilet wouldn't flush overnight. Not normally too much of a problem but my husband was very ill with v&d due to fish allergy. Being ill and the toilet not flushing all night was very bad. They said they would fix it. We went away on an overnight trip and when we returned I was ill - nothing to do with the hotel. The toilet didn't work. My husband ran up and down the stairs a few times. The night man would flick a switch in a cupboard somewhere and the sewage pump would work again for an hour or so. We moved rooms again the next day as we refused to be fobbed off and they said no other rooms had that issue. We had toilet flushing issues again but this time the issue was fixed quickly. WiFi in the third room didn't work unless I stood outside our door. Plus points: The staff were lovely and helpful. Malick, our room attendant, was very kind and caring. He arranged for a fridge that actually got cold as the one in the 3rd room got cool only. The bed was very large and comfortable. High quality sheets and towels were a bonus. His and her sinks were good. Shower was good. Sprayed in various directions with easy to use controls. TV in room showed British football - big plus. Air con worked well. WiFi worked well in parts of the hotel. They had frequent conferences and seemed to move routers to suit the business people. Once we learned where we could get the best signal we could easily Skype call back to the UK. Sunbeds were very comfortable and plentiful. Actually we usually got a good WiFi signal by the pool. Pool looked clean and was used frequently by Europeans (albeit cold). Breakfast was good. Supposed to start at 7.30am but this only worked if we stood there and told them what we wanted. They make lovely porridge. Egg station was good for make to order eggs, hot buffet with sausages, beans etc. toaster, fruit juice, coffee, cereals, f

I went to Gambia for the first time and spent the week staying at Kombo Beach Resort. I was very impressed by the general manager, Victor, during the time of my stay and it's clear that he has a significant role at the resort. He was highly professional, hardworking and ensured that we as guests were taken care of - not a day went by without him checking in and doing his best to make our stay more comfortable. Most of the staff made an impression on me during my stay; the two Indian chefs were very nice and it was lovely to eat their tasteful food every day, the man assisting in the fitness center was very kind, knowledgable and helpful (we went in there every day and he would give us new exercises to try depending on what we wanted to work on), and lastly the security guards at the beach were very professional and nice. All of these people were a big part of making our stay so great. Additionally, the place is located by a beautiful and clean beach with very sweet beach dogs running around .

I’ve just come back from a 7-night stay at the African Princess. I didn’t have any expectations prior to going, but I really enjoyed my stay here and agree that the rating is correct. It’s not a party hotel (and there isn’t much entertainment). If your needs are business or relaxing then this is the hotel for you. We had a swim up room, which was lovely. There were a lot of insects swimming alongside me, despite the pool attendant constantly cleaning the pools and decking (he never stopped), which made me wonder if the chlorine levels were correct; but aside from that, no complaints. Our room was spacious and well furnished and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was also a good size with a large shower area. The rooms have other amenities such as a safe, a fridge and a kettle (with mugs, tea, coffee, sugar etc.) The hotel grounds are immaculate - not a blade of grass out of place. The hotel backs onto the beach and there is a dedicated section for hotel guests with sun beds and umbrellas, as well as security and an attendant. You will get people trying to sell you things like juice, coconut water and other bits and bobs but if you’re not interested, once you’re firm, they will leave you alone. I particularly enjoyed seeing all the locals enjoying the beach on the Sunday - playing football, fishing, hanging out. Our board was bed and breakfast, though we did have dinner at the restaurant twice. Breakfast offered multiple hot counter and buffet style options with lots of international influence (e.g. a spin on a full English, American style pancakes and waffles, continental pastries etc.) and also Gambian options, which I loved. Even the fussiest of eaters would struggle not to find something to eat. Dinner is expensive but the food is really good and the portions are plentiful so you really do get what you pay for. There are also lots of other restaurants within 2/3 minutes walk of the hotel, all with lots of options and good food. Some of our favourites were Solomon’s, Sambas and Luigi’s. There are also small local shops and a larger supermarket within a 5-minute walk, the strip (with multiple bars and restaurants and the craft market etc.) is 5 minutes away in a taxi (which are outside in abundance) and there is also a small craft market opposite the hotel, so the hotel is well situated (monkey and crocodile parks are also nearby). We used the spa, which is tucked away at the side of the hotel and the massages were excellent. I didn’t manage to get to the gym, but I was told by another guest that it wasn’t in operation in any case, which if true, isn’t great. The other added bonus was currency exchange in reception if you can’t or don’t want to go out; and you exchange directly using your bank card if you don’t want to withdraw from the cash machine first. With regard to currency, the hotel needs to ensure that smaller notes (specifically 50D and 100D) are available in sufficient quantity so that guests can be g
