Sunset Beach Hotel

What can I say about this hotel, small but just perfect size as everyone knows you and speaks friendly people from guests to staff. All the staff are so nice from the cleaners, chefs, waiter, entertainment team to Receptionist. Special shout out to a couple of the waiters Lemin, Aruna, Abbrim (probably spelt wrong ha) Milton the entertainment manager... but our main person has to be Ashia the young lady on the entertainment team made our holiday special. But all the staff can't do enough for you.

This is without doubt the friendliest hotel i have ever been to. The staff here are amazing, absolutely nothing is too much trouble. They genuinely want your stay to be the best holiday you can experience The rooms are basic but we had a really comfy bed in a fully air-conditioned room The room is cleaned daily and done well This is an all-inclusive hotel, and I must say the quality of drinks is great. My special mojitos and the other cocktails were fab. The bar and entertainment staff are so helpful and friendly and they work so hard Special mention must go to all the catering staff and the fantastic chefs who prepared our food. The food was hot,plentiful, and full of flavour. They really ensured there was something for everyone, especially for me, who is lactose intolerant. If I wanted anything without cheese, ect, it was made special. I have been at other all-inclusive hotels where the food was mediocre but not here. The Gambian prawns and seafood were amongst the best I have ever tasted anywhere in the world This is my 1st time in the Gambia, but the Sunset Beach hotel will he my regular winter break hotel going forward. Great work guys and thank you so much for a fantastic holiday

This is the worst hotel I’ve ever been to dirty rooms, unpleasant staff, terrible cold food ,I have never complained so much about the cleanliness of a hotel. No temperature checks on food, glasses and plastic tumblers rinsed under a tap, no clean towels around pool

My first visit/holiday in The Gambia and I have had the most amazing time in such a beautiful country. It was absolutely fantastic and I loved everything about it. Sunset Beach Hotel is lovely, set right on the beach with beautiful, well maintained gardens. I stayed in one of the bungalow style rooms which was spacious, had character with its lovely wooden beams and was kept spotlessly clean throughout my stay. I had a problem with my shower on one day, but it was very quickly rectified by the efficient maintenance team. I liked that there was a safe in the room and the WiFi was good in my room and everywhere else at the hotel. The food was excellent at every meal time, with plenty of choice to suit and the chefs were very friendly and wanted to make sure you enjoyed and were happy with the choices available. The bar staff and waiters were so attentive and always made sure that you had drinks, whether in the restaurant or by the pool, and kept tables clean. The pool attendants worked tirelessly to ensure that everyone had a sunbed where you wanted to be, put towels out for you, and throughout the day made sure that umbrellas were available and moved to keep the heat of the sun off, if that's what was required. The entertainment at the hotel was very good and varied, providing something to keep everyone happy, including traditional African drumming and dancing. The daytime team made sure that they spoke to and got to know and showed interest in each guest. I could single out, name and thank individual staff members - but I don't think that would be fair, as the whole team were amazing throughout my stay. Extremely friendly, courteous and efficient and really couldn't do enough for you to ensure that you had a great time. I would, without doubt, highly recommend The Gambia and Sunset Beach Hotel and all it has to offer.  Along with the trips I did - Roots/Kunta Kinteh island, Fathala safari in Senegal, Monster truck/South Gambia tour and The Lazy River cruise, I had such a fabulous experience. Everywhere I went, the people I met were so welcoming and friendly and I can definitely understand why it's called 'the smiling coast of Africa'. I will most certainly be returning to The Gambia and Sunset Beach Hotel, and can't wait to be back.
