The Double Room with Garden View offered a comfortable ambiance, perfect for a couple’s getaway. The pool area provided a nice escape for relaxation after a long day.

This unexpected delay made the arrival after a lengthy journey more stressful than it should have been. the room didn't come with the expected amenities for the price paid, leaving us with mixed feelings about the value offered during our stay.

This hotel is the perfect escape for relaxation. The staff's friendliness and willingness to help immediately made me feel at home. I absolutely loved the spacious Double Room with Pool View, which was beautifully furnished and contributed to a serene atmosphere. The outdoor pool area was a peaceful retreat after exploring nearby attractions, and I found the location convenient, with easy access to Kunta Kinteh beach bar, which is open late for dinner—perfect for solo dining.

The check-in process could be confusing at times, which added some stress to my arrival.

I had an amazing stay with delightful meals and a room that overlooked the beach, providing a picturesque view every morning. The massage treatments were just what I needed after a long day of exploring, and the outdoor pool area was perfect for unwinding. 🏖️

The week-long stay was redeemed by the comfortable Double Room with Garden View and the delicious risotto at the restaurant, which was a highlight. While the ambiance of the place was nice, the service could be improved, particularly during busy times.
