Kololi Beach Resort

The location is good. And the staff is friendly. Enjoyed that i could contact the reception or get assistance via what's app. However I did have a mishap with my booked transport to the airport, so you have to continuously remind the staff. There were also cockroaches that came from other rooms. But otherwise a good stay and place

Superb, so quiet, efficiently run; all staff so helpful, comfy bed, we were S/C, bit basic S/c but adequate Gardens fantastic…3 pools… 2familynpool I think were were at the aged end‼️‼️😂😂😂 ‘our’ pool was only used by (4 today) usually just 6 people… I would certainly come here again… and again… and again we’ve been coming to the Gambia every year since 1990‼️‼️this is the best apartment yet.

We were fortunate enough to be given an upgrade from standard to superior - how we wish now that we were not. Check-in was an interesting experience and despite on check-out almost being hustled out of our room by the cleaner there was no option around getting into the room early if it was ready. Not a big deal as could go use the pool and towels are provided. The room was big, clean with the bathroom a little dated with a broken handle on the door and a shower head that was a little tempremental. The biggest issue was the noise from the bar accross the road which went on to around 4am on the weekend and about 2am during the week. Not the hotels fault - and becuase we were only there a short time we didn't ask to move rooms as firstly the reason for the upgrade was the shortage of standard room and quite honestly I could not be bothered to pack and unpack again (the weekend extra time being the last 2 nights). If you are given a room in the Stones building my advice would be to ask to move to the other accomodation. While the Stones building does have it's own pool it is quite some way from the beach (and the main accomodation) and main pool area - add that to the noise from the bar (and there is a new bar being built directly oppoiste) it puts a dampner on your holiday - unless you are there to drink into the early hours then it will be perfect as you do not have far to stager back. Drinks were somehow more expensive in the top bar than the beach bar (for beer). We did not try the food but recommend the milkshakes. Overall location is good as away from the main strip and a very short walk to the monkey park. I would only stay here again if it is was in the accomodation blocks near the main pool/beach.
