A blissful retreat
Dotted throughout the extensive, lush gardens, you will find the majority of the guest rooms, located in two-storey buildings. Decorated using neutral tones and wooden furniture, the rooms are well equipped and offer a comfortable night’s sleep, especially given that all rooms include air-conditioning as standard. The popular Superior rooms located in the main building or gardens provide a good upgrade option, while Studios with separate lounge and bedroom are also available; these often sell out quickly so it is best to book early.
Chill by the pool and dine in style
Senegambia Beach Hotel boasts two attractive pools, one located by the beach where you can enjoy lively music and organised games, the other nestled in the tropical gardens; both have their own bar and restaurant.
Evening entertainment at the Senegambia during winter is both varied and animated thanks to its in-house entertainment team, along with African folklore nights and themed buffet evenings by the Oasis Pool Restaurant (subject to numbers). The international and snack menu here provides an excellent value, all-day dining option with lunches also available at the beach restaurant.
