Serrekunda Hotels with Gym

This is one of the few hotels in Gambia that has pools just about everywhere. Most rooms are swim up pool rooms but if you fancy a room without a pool don't worry as the main pool event will not disappoint,you will find it located right next to the tropical grass roofed restaurant which serves one of the best breakfasts in Gambia and equally as good snacks and first rate evening food. The intimate well looked after beach is just a step away from both the pool and restaurant and has lots of sunloungers and soft mattresses so you can kick of your sliders and lay back and relax here with a cocktail or too. Even better there is no traders hassling you here, all traders must stay on the sand and only engage onthe customers request. This hotel is well worth the visit the rooms are big and comfortable. The 4 poster beds come with mosquito nets and being diabetic and a mozzi magnet I'm pleased to say I didn't get a single bite during my 10 night stay. Iv been to many hotels in Gambia and this one definitely deserves a second visit. It's great for the mobility challenged. All the staff are happy to help and the setting is traditionally intermate. Whether you are wanting a romantic getaway or traveling solo you will love this place

The service from staff,the setting was beautiful and the food served was amazing,we used to eat out most nights,but the menu and quality of the food is unbeatable so decided it made much more sense to eat at the hotel,by doing this we not only had a great choice of great food we also had no taxi fare....just a short wonder back to our room...awesome. .

This was my first trip to The Gambia and it was literally a first trip whereby I tripped over, broke and cracked my two front teeth after falling flat on my face! After exiting the restroom located within the foyer. I tripped over a metal frame positioned at ground level. Not to the same degree as me, I know that other guests have had near experiences when leaving this restroom (see picture. I shudder to imagine what would have happened if this had been an elderly person or a parent with a baby. It is for several reasons that I would never recommend this hotel: A) No matter the nation, health and safety should always come first and be the priority in any hotel establishment. I cannot even begin to count the number of times I have heard someone say, ”Well, this is Africa.” No justification! After my experience, no precautions were made to ensure that other guests wouldn't have the same experience. In fact, the hotel manager wrote: ‘It is important to note that the hotel never have any reported incident from any guest, neither staff since the establishment of this resort in 2020’. The fact that I experienced it and reported it does not imply that no one else has ever tripped or had near miss experiences, even though you may not have had any reports. B) The general manager has some serious communication problems (once you manage to find him), such as a lack of empathy and an inability to listen to others. I am unable to be name him owing to legal concerns, but his middle name should be ”Avoidance.” C) Periods of no power occur frequently. This happened almost every night during our stay since their generator shuts down due to an overload of power and overheating. One evening, as my mother and I were getting ready for an event, we had to use our cell phone lights as a guide. Moreover, when this happens, there isn't any water available for a shower. Also, no functioning primary shower head, had to utilise the hose, whenever there was water available. D) One could not have a private moment since the bathroom door would not stay closed. Thank goodness my mum was with me. E) Someone managed to use their hotel room key to get into our room one night (mistakenly), the lock had to be changed. Yes, that did in fact occur! F) Though I wasn't expecting the Ritz, I would have expected it too at least be kept up, despite the attractive photographs on the website. This review is from a sincere individual. Though I don't usually post reviews, I felt compelled to write this review because I don't want anyone to experience what I did or am currently experiencing. I also regret that I was unable to shorten my stay. I am utterly disappointed because this was also my first trip to West Africa!
