“Palm Beach is closed now.”
+Since april Palm Beach hotel is closed, they are building a new resort which will take some time. The managers are gone. It will be a modern big resort run by a dutch entrepeneur. I have wonderfull memories of this nice place… I reccommend everyone going to Gambia to find something as nice and gezellig as Palm Beach. Bamboo Garden Hotel is a good alternative:)

“Magical winter delight”
+Feb 9 - 19 2025/ Great weather. Great atmosphere. Friendly and problem solving staff. Wonderful Dutch couple let us swap to their room overlooking the Mangrove. Woodpeckers, monkeys, owls herons and god knows what else. Truly magical experience. Been 7 times now in 30 years. I lived in Dubai for 2 years AND STILL wished to holiday in this honest paradise. . Fills my heart with joy to see so much development in The Gambia. Shout out to Jan and his wife and the Silver Man. Can't wait for the Palm beach 2.0. See you soon

“Happy hotel with a very warm welcome”
+We have just come back from a fabulous stay at Palm Beach, had a really good time. It’s currently a bit shabby and run down, however, the current owners are leaving at the end of April. The new owners have great new plans and a building team ready to make a lot of improvements for when the hotel opens for the new season in November. So what’s good at the moment. The staff are truly amazing they do everything they can to make sure you have a good stay. They give a 5 star service. The hotel is on what is probably the best beach in The Gambia. The rooms are currently very shabby but spotlessly clean, very comfortable bed and pillows. The shower was excellent always plenty of hot water and the aircon was great at cooling the room down very quickly. The atmosphere around the pool is very friendly and we enjoyed the different bands playing every evening. So what’s not so good. Breakfast all the bad stories are true. We went next door to the beach cafe, pleasant 3 minute stroll on the beach. Food from the poolside bar was generally ok. The best thing on the menu is the Butter chicken, so good we had it three times. For those going next season I think there will be a lot of improvement in

“Family holiday”
+The staff at this hotel were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms were immaculate and very comfortable. We also enjoyed the delicious breakfast each morning and loved the convenient location close to major attractions.

“Bad customer service”
+We choose this place to stay for our last 5 days to spend in The Gambia after a one month stay. We decided to take a risk even though there were mixed reviews. The pull for the hotel was mostly due to the private beach, pool and breakfast that is included. Our expectations were not super high at all and we decided let's just go with the flow. On the day of check-in 2025-01-13, we asked the check in counter what time is breakfast, they answered "7.30-10.30", I thought wow that's nice it does not end super early. We woke up and walked to the breakfast and arrived at 10.01 and saw them removing everything from the counters and we thought to ourselves "what is going on I thought breakfast ends at 10.30" we quickly walk up to staff and ask the question and they reply "no, it ends at 10.00" . We were chocked and said "okay your front desk staff said another time, is there anything you can arrange for us in the back? They said "no", then I said okay that's too bad but the crepe ladies were kind enough to give us crepes only, however that is far from a breakfast we want and enough. After this experience as we were leaving breakfast we saw how staff was eating breakfast from newly fried egg

“Great value for money. Always make us feel welcome”
+Palm Beach is a great find. It was our second year visiting. Small and friendly budget hotel perfectly located on Kotu beach. Raj and his team go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Clean rooms with fresh linen and towels daily with air conditioning and tv. Pool cleaned and attended daily. With afternoon entertainment and nightly shows. Big thank you to Raj and all the staff for another great stay

“Family holiday for new year”
+Just returned from a lovely stay at the Palm Beach for a week over new year with our kids (13 and 9). Accommodation is basic but very clean (room cleaned everyday). We were in rooms 133/134 at one end of the resort but still only a 30 sec walk to pool and reception. Pool area also very clean and sufficient sunbeds with the guys round the pool always on hand to move beds/parasols to make sure you’re happy. We tended to stay round the pool rather than use the hotel area on the beach but that looked very nice. Drinks/food at the hotel were very with waiting staff always around to make sure you have what you need. Food was always very nice and drinks reasonably priced (bottle of lager less than £2) Biggest plus was the staff (and people of Gambia). Everyone so friendly and wanting to ensure you’re having a good time! My son and I having countless games of football on the beach with the locals! We had a few nights out on the strip which was 10 mins down the road (taxi there and back £7 total) Kunta Kinteh and John Raymond beach bars (just along from the hotel) were both lovely too. Gambia wasn’t somewhere we’d had on our radar but having been we absolutely loved it!

“Really run down.”
+Not the nicest of hotels. Everything needs refurbished! Rooms have very much thin walls so you can hear everything, door lock very flimsy to the point where a hard push would break it, towels not replaced until 2nd last day despite us following instructions to leave them on the floor of if you wanted them replaced, they were just hung out to dry instead! Restaurant is OK, but on our last night we were overcharged with extra items added to the bill and when we pointed it out we were met with a challenging response and it took us a while to get the bill corrected with no apology! We didn't use the pool and weren't in the hotel grounds during the day so can't comment on that, but it was very loud at night, even though our room was as far away from the pool area as possible. The room was clean, but everything is just very, very dated. We only had breakfast one morning, but it wasn't great and we smelled like fried food for the rest of the day despite only having toast and being in for 5 minutes. Would not recommend.

“We will be back!”
+After months deciding we came to The Gambia for our first trip to Africa and it will not be our last trip here not our last visit to Palm Beach. We were delayed and arrived pretty late night / early morning but the hotel re opened the bar for everyone to have a drink and relax after a long day. (How many other hotels would do the same?) The view as your sat around the pool is just lovely. Sun, tall palm trees and the sounds of birds all day is just relaxation. Yes granted the hotel is very basic but the rooms are clean and everything is to the best of its abilities, when your only sleeping and showering in there. Its great! If you want luxury then this isn't for you. For a two star hotel this is more than perfect! The food is good! Breakfast is breakfast, eggs beans etc. and the dinner/evening menu is all main to order (and cost effective) which I thought was miles better than set time buffet style food. The staff and people are lovely! They really make the stay worth while! You are always greeted with a smile and they genuinely like to know how you are doing and how your stay is. Ive never stayed anywhere else where staff will purposely come over for a handshake and a hello! Yes t
