Sunset Beach Hotel

My first visit to The Gambia and Sunset Beach Hotel and I have had the most amazing time in such a beautiful country. It was absolutely fantastic and I loved everything about it. ❤️ Sunset Beach Hotel is lovely, set right on the beach with beautiful, well maintained gardens. I stayed in one of the bungalow style rooms which was spacious, had character with its lovely wooden beams and was kept spotlessly clean throughout my stay. I had a problem with my shower on one day, but it was very quickly rectified by the efficient maintenance team. I liked that there was a safe in the room and the WiFi was good in my room and everywhere else at the hotel. The bar staff and waiters were so attentive and always made sure that you had drinks, whether in the restaurant or by the pool, and tables were always kept clean. The pool attendants worked tirelessly to ensure that everyone had a sunbed where you wanted to be, put towels out for you, and throughout the day made sure that umbrellas were available and moved to keep the heat of the sun off, if that's what was required. The entertainment at the hotel was very good and varied, providing something to keep everyone happy, including traditional African drumming and dancing! The daytime team made sure that they spoke to, got to know and showed interest in each guest. I could single out, name and thank individual staff members - but don't think that would be fair, as the whole team were amazing throughout my stay. Extremely friendly, courteous and efficient and really couldn't do enough for you to ensure that you had a great time. I had such a fabulous experience and the people I met were so welcoming and friendly and I can definitely understand why it's called 'the smiling coast of Africa' I would, without doubt or any reservations, highly recommend The Gambia and Sunset Beach Hotel and all it has to offer. I had an amazing time and will most definitely be back! Thank you to everyone at Sunset Beach Hotel for everything you did to enable me to have such a fabulous holiday ❤️

Built in an area on the corner of the beach, this hotel is truly excellent. It's an all-inclusive offer at a very fair price. The staff are friendly and very professional. The food served is a great balance of Gambian stews and international dishes. There are plenty of local pubs and restaurants dotted around the area, great for an early morning walk and a coffee or a little pub crawl in the evening.

Very quiet and relaxing. Safe and comfortable room. It's a delight to walk among the flowers in the garden and by the beach which is just steps away. The staff is the kindest. (Special thanks to ✨ Modou, Richard, Lamin, Mariam, Mohamed, Alpha, Ramatulie ✨). And we loved the breakfast. We had a lovely time and would definitely come back.
