Very nice hotel right by the beach. We were upgraded to a room connected to the pool (which was very appreciated! Would recommend splurging on this option). Friendly staff. Food was ok. The spa was pretty good and affordable (although, they were over 30 min late one day). As soon as you step out of the hotel, people will approach you to try to sell something (excursions, fruit etc.).

My stay at African Princess Beach Resort was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The location is unbeatable—right on the beach with stunning ocean views and the most relaxing poolside vibes. Waking up to the sound of the waves and ending the day with breathtaking sunsets was everything I needed and more. The rooms were clean, modern, and very comfortable. Everything was well-maintained, and you can tell they really care about the guest experience. The staff? Top tier! Everyone was so warm, welcoming, and attentive—it truly felt like a home away from home. Their hospitality made my trip even more special. From the delicious food to the chill atmosphere, this resort gives you the perfect mix of relaxation and good vibes. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, enjoying the beach, or just soaking in the energy of The Gambia, it’s an experience you won’t forget. 🌴 10/10 – I’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend to anyone visiting The Gambia! ✨
