“A great welcome”
+We stayed here as a large group of university students on a study tour in January 2020. Although we had a very late check in all went smoothly and we were checked in quickly and efficiently. The rooms are comfortable and well maintained, the staff are very friendly, helpful and welcoming, and the location near to the beach is excellent.
+We celebrated a birthday and were treated to a very special breakfeast. The people working at Sand Beach are extremely nice, helpful and friendly.
+Die sogenannten Villen sind in einem frustrierenden Zustand, Bettlampen funktionieren nicht und werden auch nicht repariert, die Küchen sind nicht eingerichtet, kein Geschirr, keine Kochstelle, keine Toepfe, nichts - eine reine Farce! Beschwerden beim Personsal werden mit Schulterzucken entgegengenommen, man würde es weiterleiten, aber es würde sich nichts ändern. Der Besitzer oder Leasingnehmer würde Nichts investieren. Tatsächlich wirkt alles an dem Hotel vernachlässigt und leicht verrottet, selbst der Strandbereich sieht aus wie ein Niemandsland mit kaputten Schirmen und Liegen. Das Personal ist ok und bemüht! Wer ein Hostel sucht oder eine Basisabsteige, der ist mit dem Sand Beach gut bedient, dann muss aber auch das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis stimmen. Mehr als 20 Euro pro Nacht sind hier nicht angebracht. Wenn Expedia solche Hotels mit 60-80 Euro pro Nacht verkauft, so sehe ich das als eine Unverschämtheit und Kunden-Abzockerei an! Ich reise seit 30 Jahren nach Gambia, so viele frustrierte Kunden, die schnell wieder auschecken habe ich noch nie gesehen!

“Quiet and relaxing”
+Sand Beach Hotel is quiet, spacious, and very relaxing - the photos do not really do it justice. There’s a genuine African feeling, it’s not just an American style hotel. The large pool is kept clean and has plenty of space and loungers around it. It was never even slightly crowded - and lovely for swimming. Our villa was spacious with bedroom, bathroom, and a lounge area with settee bed and alcove with sink. Furniture and fittings are more safari camp than luxury. Some villas have a pleasant view over the pool area, but none has a sea view. No toiletries were provided , except a bar of soap. In general, you have to ask for what you want, because things are not provided as standard, and staff seem not to notice if things are missing or broken. The staff were generally friendly ( a little too friendly at times), helpful and willing, but you have to ask. Breakfast was poor quality, with little choice, often missing essential items from the self-service tables. We had to ask for serviettes (napkins) every day. Nicely cooked eggs, sausage etc, but no menu to muse over. Not good value for money (breakfast was included in the room rate, which is relatively high for the area). The restaur

“Second visit”
+My second visit to Sand Beach and its like coming home !! Staff very friendly and helpful. The rooms do need a bit of TLC but its clean and comfortable - who wants to be in their room when the beach is a few steps away !!! Relax at the pool where its peaceful or take a short walk along the beach or a short taxi ride to the Senegambia strip for more entertainment. Live music and lots of resturants serving local and european dishes. The new Baniaba resturant is lovely with a good menu for eating in.

“Tired buildings”
+We had to stay here one night as our hotel had made a mistake. The staff were lovely and most helpful, but the hotel is tired and in need of a complete overhaul. Our apartment was falling apart and one night was definitely enough. If I’d booked here for the week I would have had to look for something else. No fridge, no glasses, no plates or anything in the kitchen. Breakfast in the morning was disappointing to say the least. The bed was noisy and so uncomfortable. I gave a two stars because of the staff, otherwise it would have been a one.
