The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel has a beautiful situation overlooking the ocean with the private pools for the lower rooms. The main pool is nice and the direct access to the beach is definitely of great value.

The rooms are average in terms of decoration...rather minimalist. The TV only has a few channels (CNN, BBC, TV5...and some movie channels from Saudi Arabia... ). The AC only works with the room key in the slot, so had to request an additional key to ensure that the room was always cool when entering. Recommend giving a heads up to the hotel so that they make sure the room is cooled before you checking, especially if you are planing on a late check in at night.

Layout, cleanliness and proximity to the beach

A bit of a smell from the drains in the bathroom during the daytime. A great variety of food ( fruit and desserts) but not tending to the palette of African travellers. Where was the famous Gambian jollof? Some of the hot food was over salted. Consitency in staff hospitality. Some of the chefs were aloof

Good location right on the beach, rooms were cleaned every day and fresh water and towels provided. Very relaxing and quiet, staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough to help. Lots of security although I didn't think is was necessary as the people are very friendly there. Room was a good size, if you want sun all day on your terrace pick blocks 1-3, we had a swim up room on block 3. Exchange bureau on site.

The food was of a good standard, but the menu could have been rotated on a weekly basis as it was the same while we were there. Maybe there could have been some entertainment as there was none.

I loved my stay at African Princess, the hospitality, professionalism and helpfulness of the staff was remarkable. My sincere gratitude to the reception team led by Ismayl who made our check-in experience effortless. Sanaa from housekeeping was a joy and our entire team was especially pleased. The property is quite new and seemingly well-maintained, the pools were exceptionally clean, and the rooms were quite large with lots of storage spaces. The wifi was a bit spotty and the frequent power outages didn't help but thankfully the hotel has an automated power generator. Direct access to a clean and secure beach was a bonus!

The restaurant staff could do with a little bit of training. Service from the restaurant manager was exceptional but the waiters and waitresses were struggling with the bare minimum. Breakfast options could do with a bit of diversity, we had the same exact thing for the entire two-week stay.

The location

The room didn’t have brow dryer. The bathroom faucet was dripping when we used it . We informed the front desk stuff about it , however no one came to fix it .

Everything was perfect

Clean, The staff were great

Close to the beach, had a private pool, was able to watch Netflix on tv, great food.

There’s a lot of bugs that got inside the room of all sizes. Facility needs to work on sealing doors, screen doors, and windows shut. There needs to be more breakfast options, was mainly eating the same thing every morning.

I loved it but the WiFi and a few other things didn’t work, but they managed to get it resolved, it does need to fix up a little with the service and food

the food

Stuff of the entire hotel (from manager to cleaning lady) was extraordinary helpful and friendly, they make you feel like home Beautiful location, safe environment, wonderful pool All very clean ansd well maintained

Only space for improvement is the restaurant (little bit overpriced, waiting times, variety of food)

the property is in a very good location with easy access to restaurants, bars and shops. the beach just in front of the resort is clean and well kept and offers sun loungers as well as beach bars and vendors. the rooms with swim up pools are a really nice feature. the garden area is also very nice and very well maintained.

the water in the pools is very cold. unfortunately our room was not cleaned during our stay.
