We have stopped at several hotels in the Kotu region of Gambia before and we thought we would try the Palm Beach Hotel for a change. We are keen on birdwatching and wildlife and this hotel had it all within the grounds. We had a room down near the sea view and were watching a variety of birds, monkeys and... More

Just had clients return from this hotel and changed to different accommodation within 2 days and that's 2 days too long. Hotel filthy, staff uniforms filthy, mosquito net filthy. If you like to eat cold food of plastic plates this is the place for you. Wardrobe didn't close and a very dangerous step down from the toilet to bathroom floor... More

Visited Palm beach for the second time right at the end of the season (April 2013). Once again the staff were the most important thing in making my stay great. Without them I would have had some complaints. From the waitresses to the security and cleaners everyone has a smile and a good word. The hotel does have it's problems.... More

This hotel is certainly quieter than the others around which suited us, but it had a nice intimate feel and is very convenient for watching bird life from the viewing platform looking over the creek. Breakfast was fairly basic but ok with fresh bread rolls and what we took to be local made jams, which were very nice. We ate... More
