Hotel Description

The garden and intimate layout of this simple hotel create a typical Gambian village atmosphere, which also boasts an imaginatively designed pool with central bar and surrounding sun terraces.  The friendly staff are a real asset making everyone feel most welcome.

Standard rooms are quite small with basic furnishings. Slightly larger sea view rooms are also available at a supplement. A limited number of smaller rooms are available for single occupancy without the single supplement.

Guests dine in the restaurant which benefits from stunning views from its elevated position overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The terrace outside the restaurant is a wonderful place to enjoy an early evening drink while watching the sun set. There is a man-made sand covered sunbathing area next to the ocean which can be reached by steep steps.

Offering good value, this small hotel has a central location in the bustling town of Bakau and is ideal for those who prefer a more authentic African experience and attracts a larger number of repeat clients returning year after year.

A thriving local market and a couple of restaurants serving traditional Gambian dishes are close by.
