Staff was super friendly, food was delicious and reasonably priced, and the rooms were clean and secure. The beach was right outside and the garden was delightful to spend time in. Great location for the beach and a cool reptile farm. A great place to unplug and unwind!

Far from much of anything but a small store and a couple of restaurants. Spotty internet, and consistently waited over an hour for food.

It was lovely to meet other travellers at the bar and restaurant. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the food was good. The beach is very close, and outside the bar is a beautiful area to relax .

The bed was not comfortable. It had a huge lump in the middle, fortunately I was on my own, so I manged. The bathroom had no door, again no problem as I was on my own. There were no chairs outside on.the veranda, and I had to sit on the doorstep. All is fine if you don't expect anything luxuriously..but I thought for the price was a bit high considering.

private, minimarket close by, not so hot since it’s covered by trees, private beach entrance on the quiet side of the beach, restaurant with ok priced meals and good food, the dogs on this property are the loveliest dogs around and will accompany you basically anywhere around the area if you want them to<3

breakfast had some room for improvement - only coffee, eggs and bread then banana when we asked for fruit (which i don’t eat sry)

I had a wonderful time here. Was originally planning to stay 1 night, and ended staying 4, and would have spent a few more, no doubt. Lamin has created a great resort and atmosphere with an excellent team, mainly family. His daughter Aisha is a great cook, you will enjoy the breakfast, far over average, or any of the dishes they serve in the big and nice restaurant area. The bungalows are clean, well isolated from each other, and very comfortable. I had amazing rest, as you are not close to the road or noisy places-- yet walking distance to a convenience store in the road and easy to get to the town by bike. The sleeping is exceptional, as the resort is also front-beach, and all you hear at night is the sound of the waves. The beach is beautiful, clean and very well kept by the team, and has a few umbrellas and hammocks for the guests. I enjoyed there amazing sunsets, baths and naps. There are great walks nearby that you can explore around: Gunjur if you go North; Kartong, if you go south, I recommend both. Ask Lamin if you want ideas to explore the area (or others), he gave me great advice to find some of the best highlights in my 1 month trip in Senegal and Gambia. In all: comfortable place in every sense, highly recommended.

I am vegetarian and I always could "make a wish" for what I want for dinner.. Beach clean Non of the workers here is a smoker :) Comfortable "beach beds"

I normally drink tap water, also in Gambia. Here they say, quality of tap water maybe not good enough for me.

The place is very quiet and the location what you see on the picture is what you are getting it's very quiet simple and natural you are far from everything but you also come that you relax.

Those only two things they should be putting light into the first where the cabins are so you can see the roads it's very dark My husband could get afraid and the breakfast was not exceptional it could have been better maybe a little change then it will be good.

Very nice and helpful owner, round houses well apart from each other in a well kept garden with good paths. The very quiet beautiful beach and sea just next to the garden by a private gate. Plentiful breakfast and meals of your choice in a large round decorative eating area. Everywhere kept very tidy. Peaceful surroundings with the colourful birds.
