"I stayed at the Senegambia Beach Hotel while visiting The Gambia to marry my wife, who is Gambian. This hotel became part of a very special chapter in our lives, and we had a wonderful experience.
The location is excellent, right in the heart of the Senegambia area with easy access to restaurants, shops, entertainment, and the beach. The hotel grounds are beautiful, with tropical gardens, birds, and monkeys that create a unique atmosphere. We especially enjoyed the beachfront setting and the relaxing environment.
Our room was clean and comfortable, and the housekeeping staff did a great job throughout our stay. The breakfast offered a good variety of options, and the staff were consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Their hospitality made us feel at home and reflected the warmth that The Gambia is known for.
What stood out most was the combination of the beautiful property, convenient location, and genuine customer service. While some areas of the hotel could benefit from updates, it did not take away from our overall experience.
I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend the Senegambia Beach Hotel to anyone visiting The Gambia, whether for vacation, business, or a special occasion. Thank you to the staff for helping make our wedding trip such a memorable one."
"I was very pleased with my stay at the Tropic Garden Hotel. Upon arriving, I noticed a few bugs in my room. When I brought the issue to the staff's attention, they responded immediately and moved me to another room without hesitation. I greatly appreciated their promptness and commitment to guest satisfaction.
Throughout my stay, the staff was consistently friendly, professional, and helpful. They were always willing to assist with any questions or requests, which made my experience even more enjoyable.
The complimentary daily breakfast was a nice addition, and the views from the hotel were absolutely spectacular. The beautiful surroundings created a relaxing atmosphere and added to the overall experience.
Overall, I had a very positive stay at the Tropic Garden Hotel and would recommend it to travelers looking for friendly service, beautiful views, and a welcoming environment."
"Amazing Staff from The Front Desk to the Housekeeping Team and every Hotel Employee i had met they were so friendly and made sure I had a very relaxing vacation. The Pool area was so clean, and the hotel room bed was very comfortable.
The Manager is present and very approachable. Thankyou to everyone for the lovely vacation stay."
"I will definitely come back! The staff are so caring, helpful and kind. They go out of their ways to be sure you have everything you need, whether that’s in your room, poolside, by the beach or in a restaurant.
I had a club villa, with a beautiful terrace with two large sofas, a table and chairs. My room was so big and each evening, during turn down service, they closed my mosquito nets (although thankfully there weren’t any mosquitos!). I came to stay here as I knew they had Thai chefs, from when I’d come here for dinner in a previous visit. So the Thai food was fabulous, but so were the breakfasts. The eggs shakshushka were probably the best I’ve had anywhere in the world. I even asked the chef how to make them!
There are plenty of pool options and they were always quiet, with the sound of the waves breaking in the background. Poolside cocktails tasted fabulous and they even have my favourite, banana daiquiri.
The hotel does feel a little dated, but it’s still fabulous and I loved my stay.
I was disappointed by the spa, they always cut treatments way short of the amount of time I’d paid for and other guests noticed the same thing. They seemed disorganised and left the changing rooms messy. However, it’s nice to have well priced massages in site."
