This was our first visit to Gambia. We stayed at the Holiday Beach Club on a friend's recommendation and were very pleased. The location is ideal - right on the strip but at the end of a longish drive so it's peaceful. Also opens up right onto the beach. Overall the site was quiet and relaxing, but there were few... More

This was our first visit to The Gambia and we enjoyed it fully. The hotel is basic but clean with friendly staff. We had a bungalow near the pool with plenty of space. Our maid Bilo, came every day and was lovely. One of the best things about this hotel is the location, you are right on the strip. For... More

Having read some very mixed reviews about this hotel- particularly negative about the supposed "prison blocks A & B"- we were unsure what to expect. I'm not overly fussy about where I stay as a hotel for me is just a base in which to shower and sleep, but upon arrival when we found out we were in B-block, I... More

We stayed in the Holiday Beach Hotel for 11 nights in March-April. We stayed in a Bungalow by the beach. The room was fine. Very clean but very basic. Beds were not very comfortable. Shower worked well - always had hot water. We didn't have air con but it was cool at night. It did get windy so I would... More

We stayed for a fortnight in B block, having read some of the previous postings I was a little concerned on receiving the key. The room was certainly pretty basic, but it was kept spotlessly clean by our lady, yes some of the towels, sheets had old marks/stains, but they were changed daily and weren't dirty. The shower had plenty... More

I agree with the previous review. The hotel's location is spot on but the hotel itself looks rather shabby and worn out. The bathrooms are very basic and - in my opinion - not as clean as they should be. Having said that, if you get a cheap deal, it is an ideal base for exploring the country and relaxing... More
