Travelocity Verified Review
"We were really pleased to stay at this property. The room was large with amazing ocean views, great to sleep with the sound of the ocean in the background. The pool is a good size, and the pool deck and outdoor seating areas share the same views. Food was really good throughout, we especially enjoyed the Chicken Domoda and Chicken Yassa that we had for lunch. A late check-out was easily arranged and suited our evening flight back to the UK. Hotel is in a very quiet area surrounded by diplomatic missions which we appreciated. Tourist areas like Banjul and Senegambia are a short taxi ride, and there's a tourist market about 10 minutes walk away."
