Summary: We heard rumors that the hotel is nearly bankrupt so this review may not be relevant after the spring of 2012 (if the ownership and the staff of the hotel has changed). Positive Things + OTG guys in front of the hotel. + Most of the staff. + Location. Negative things --- A few people in the staff! (always... More

After arriving in Gambia for our first visit, the first impression is a bit of a culture shock but once you got over this most of the people are fantastic, Smiling Coast is definately the right name. The people just cannot do enough for you. The bumsters get a bit overwhelming at times but the best thing is to choose... More
