The first time I have been back to the Gambia since 1986 and not a lot has changed except they now have some roads that ease transfer. The Hotel was a good solid 4 Star, very clean, nice rooms, nice pools, nice beach, food was adequate. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the rate to the pound made everything affordable. The hotel seemed very quiet but it was full however, it is used by Business people and Flight Crew, which is always the best advert for a hotel, so it seemed half full. Plenty of sun beds on the beach and by the pool, beach very clean and little hassle from the locals who left you alone once they had tried and failed to sell you something. Having been to the Caribbean looking for some winter sun, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Barbados I have to say the Gambia is more than a match, a similar palm tree lined beach, not as many 'Tourists', all the usual facilities, a proper 4 star not a 3 star pretending to be a 5, no party boats and constant Bob Marley! Yes there is the same poverty, but you can go out when you like and visit local restaurants as well and the local supermarket for anything you fancied, plus it was 30 + degrees everyday with almost no humidity and also GMT so no wasted days with Jet Lag. Lastly no kids, but it wasn't school holidays and the hotel isn't that type. I shall return.
