Finde Hotels in Kanifing Municipal Council

Stayed here for 8 nights in early November with a friend. We chose the one bedroomed apartment to keep costs down and simply moved one bed into the lounge. The location is ideal, close to the beach, restaurants surrounding the Palma Rima and the Senegambia Strip. Maroun’s supermarket next door could not be more convenient, although the apartments are well-enough equipped for self catering. A pleasant terrace, in-house restaurant and pool really do give a great atmosphere to this small complex. Given price rises in the Gambia in recent years, this option really did offer good value for money; I will use this as the default for all future trips.

The hotel is physically nice. The pool is wonderful and clean, the gym access is fantastic! The breakfast is adequate, not special. Problems encountered - no hot water. Mentioned this to the desk several times with no resolution. You are only provided with two bottles of water on check-in, nothing for subsequent days. The standard across most of Africa, frankly the whole world, is that when the tapwater is not potable, the hotels provide guests with at least two bottles of water per day per day. This is honestly a minimal expense for the hotel and relieves the hassle on guests to have to track down water on a regular basis. The Royalista Restaurant just outside the car gate, is a fantastic fusion restaurant with Indian Italian, and some Chinese food. It is incredibly reasonably priced, much more south than the restaurant just inside the gate for the hotel. The hotel was able to exchange currency at what I found to be a very reasonable rate. The beds were quite comfortable, the air conditioning worked well, and the rooms were clean and in good order. I asked for a tea kettle, which was brought right up. However, in this day and age the rooms should be pre-equipped with tea kettles and coffee or tea service for in room consumption, as is the standard in most 3-4 star hotels around the world. The Internet worked OK in the main building, and on the patio, but was virtually nonexistent and incredibly unreliable in the rooms. This poses a significant challenge if you are trying to do work. It is obvious by the shirts, that the staff is definitely being trained to up the level of customer service. By and large, I found most of the staff, especially housekeeping, to be very accommodating and helpful. The restaurant stated on several occasions that they were out of something, yet on two of those occasions, when asking a different person, items would miraculously appear. This hotel has the potential to be quite a place. The management and staff need to pay a bit more attention to detail, put the effort and money into a few of the amenities that are missing, and ensure a reliable supply of hot water.

Ok, wenn es relativ gut ist, ist es die beste Wahl, das Frühstück ist gut

Amazing staff. This isn’t my first time going to The Gambia, there is something very magical about the country that keeps pulling me back. The staff at this hotel are amazing, so friendly, kind, caring, smiling and can’t do enough for you. The desk staff, restaurant staff, bar staff and pool men. Food there is plenty of food available and cooked fresh. There are also so many other places available to eat and you should try the other restaurants and bars. Everyone everywhere is so friendly. The hotel is small and friendly people look out for each other and I find this fitting with the resort. I was fortunate to be there for new year. Wow amazing the transformation the effort hard work from all the staff was amazing. The dancing till 3 am fireworks at midnight, well done what a party. I hope that the hotel appreciates the hard working dedication from the A team. With out the staff and A team dancers this hotel would have little. The dancing skill and talent from the A team is amazing you wouldn’t get this from other hotels. They are with you from first thing till you go to bed to help and entertain. The performance on New Year’s Eve from the A team was fantastic, ( sorry but have to say a negative, shame the dance team had to dance on the floor due to the volume of people there unless you stood at the front you couldn’t see them). You never have to worry about a sun lounger they would always get one ready for you. I haven’t mentioned names as I want to remain positive . It’s a fantastic place to go on holiday everyone works so hard. I find it safe everywhere. And if 601 is reading this hope you are well, Polly.
