Trips, their cars 4-wheel were very old and packed with people. For example on safari they packed 18 people in car. From other places, as I seen it in the parking lot, they all have smaller cars, 4 or 6 people.
Vi var på dette hotellet for andre gang. De ansatte er veldig hyggelige. Lunsj og middags buffet kan kanskje virke noe kjedelig for de kresne. Lite variasjon, men vi syntes det er helt greit. Det var veldig koselig å komme tilbake. Vi ble tatt så godt i mot. Alle er så blide og vennlige og gjør det de kan for at vi skal ha det bra. Vi reiser fjerne tilbake
Prijs prestatie heel goed hotel
ligt heel rustig en mooi strand

4 day stay at Coral Beach
The status and ownership of the hotel had changed between booking and stay, from a la carte to all inclusive. If we had known this (not informed by hotels.com or the hotel) we would not have stayed. A number of issues with the room took too long to be sorted. Location was ok and staff very friendly and helpful. Initially given inferior room to the one booked, before changing to correct type. Unfortunately this felt like one of the ‘spare’ rooms at the end of the property and was not set up for 3 people as requested and had a number of problems. This booking was made in April yet we were forced to feel like we had been squeezed in at the last minute. We think the hotel is probably ok for people who choose to do all inclusive and for most rooms at most times and we were unfortunate under the prevailing circumstances. However, that does not mean we were able to have the luxury relaxing holiday we had hoped for. Too much time was spent wondering and worrying about the problems we were encountering.
Personalen var väldigt hjälpsamma och maten på hotellet var väldigt bra och varierande. Hotellet var i bra skick och var fint inrett och utsmyckat. Massagen på hotellets spa avdelning var bra och avslappnande.Tyvärr saknade vårt "Deluxe Room" minibar/kyl, hårfön och sänglampor. Det var rätt irriterande men hotellet får i övrigt högt betyg.
When I got to the hotel the room was dirty so I asked to be moved and after 15 mins they moved me to a room that again was not set up no towels and no WiFi no tv in English and there was no hot water only warm and the door lock keep locking me out the room every day they had to reset my keys after 5 days they change the batteries in the door after I got one of the manager to the room to look at how I was starting in the hotel after he left he gave me a fridge of drinks to say sorry
The hotel has going backwards from feb 2018
We now eat off side plates and the food is only warm and never comes on time and when it run out they no one to refill on Sunday they was no roast I waited 1 hr and it never come out of the kitchen
This hotel was a 5* now it’s a 4 1/2 now I think it’s a 3 at best

Rustig speels opgezet hotel met aardig personeel
Een rustig gelegen hotel met een speelse opzet waardoor privacy mogelijk is. Voor de kamer in het groene gras kan je gebruikmaken van de ligbedden. Helaas ligt het strand (zoals in heel Gambia) bezaait met plastic vuil.
De kamer (Deluxe kamer Beach Palm) was ruim met vanuit het bed een mooi uitzicht op de zee. De kamer was netjes met een goede wc en douche.
Wij hebben een enkele keer gegeten in het hotel (wij gingen naar Senegambia road, the strip). Het eten in het hotel was goed met voldoende keus.

Good location, close to beach.
Excellent hotel location, lovely beach. Only complaint is food in hotel, menue average but they didnt have a lot of dishes available, so went hungry a few times, . Taxi's expensive to main strip to bars & resturants, which is annoying , as eating out is a must with food choices being poor in hotel. There is no free shuttle available, so taxi's are the only option
Gambia was great but hotel was not good. The room for 3 people was really only big enough for 2 so had to up grade to a bigger room. Nothing worked, air conditioning didn't work, rooms very tired not a 5 star at all the spa was dreadful.
The Gambian people and staff at the hotel were one of the most friendliest I have ever known. The food (which I was worried about) was delicious and I loved the Gambian food but there was English in abundance. The accommodation (apartments) were located apart from each other so you had a lot of privacy, were spacious and cool if needed to be. The beach is long and very sandy for lovely walks. The spa treatments were very enjoyable and good value. Overall I just loved it all.
Das Hotel entspricht Fünf-Sterne-Afrika. Es ist sauber, der Empfang herzlich. Das Personal zuvorkommend mit sehr guten Englischkenntnissen. Der Stil ist attraktiv und angenehm, bei Gehbehinderung aber anstrengend. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt, die Zimmer stets sauber und ordentlich. Das gesamte Personal stets gut gelaunt und hilfreich. Der Strand gross und sauber und sicher: An beiden Enden sind Securities. Auch das Essen ust sehr gut: international, aber leider wenig afrikanisch ... Auch hier wird Sauberkeit und Hygiene gross geschrieben.
El personal fue muy amable y nos habló de cosas curiosas para visitar y hacer; están a tu disposición al 100%. Grata experiencia que seguramente repita.
Very peaceful hotel situation in lovely grounds on the beach.Fantastic pool that was large enough to swim lengths.Lots of sunbeds to move where ever wanted & never on top of other guests.Rooms very comfortable,loved the fluffy dressing gowns for sitting on the balcony with a cuppa first thing.Kept.very clean daily.Had extra treat (R 7126)as could see monkeys playing nearby and Kingfishers landing just outside.Air con unit very noisy & not very effective.All staff exceptionally friendly,especially,our cleaner,gardener,Malick & Yaya in bar(who made me a special banana cocktail & made it cocktail of the week)Rhiana,Agnes,Lomin & the egg lady at breakfast,the pool guy,all the reception staff etc.Our only real gripe was the extremely slow service at dinner in the evening.The staff were always friendly,but not organised.It wasn't because they were busy either.There were several area's off the main area that were more inviting,but you got forgotten & then when you were noticed you had to wait ages for everything,which didn't make for a good experience.The white wine actually ran out of stock one evening!I'd read lots of similar reviews like this which is another reason we chose B&B.The senior management need to take notice of these reviews & solve the problem.Perhaps more staff training in organisational & time management skills.All in all though this didn't put us off the hotel. We had a fantastically relaxing stay & were looked after in every other aspect other than dinner.

Friendly staff, reasonable food, great location
We really enjoyed our stay. The security were good most the time but one male (security man) hassled us a bit and even got a bit demanding and asked for our iphone and money. The food was average, I wouldn't go full board as the restaurants in the area were amazing. Drinks are a bit pricy but beer is cheap enough. Staff in the bar, garden, cleaners, reception were really friendly. The hotel was full enough for me, I wouldn't want it busier. Rooms and grounds are clean. Location is fab, we didn't venture to the pool much and lounged outside our room right next to the sea.
Info/tips:
Everyone wants money! Get used to it.
It's windy, I wish I'd taken another cardy for night time.
A meal out will cost you £30-£40 for wine, starters, quality steak and an espresso.
Go to 'the butchers shop' for dinner - excellent food
Try scala restaurant also amazing
The breakfast choice and management is barely 3*. If you can find milk for tea or cutlery or someone clearing tables you will have to wait a long time. There are so many basic little things they dont think about doing well. There is no urgency or attention to detail.
The hotel is a long way from anything so you have to rely on the limited offerings at the hotel for food and entertainment.
The whole place seems like a half hearted effort throughout. However, the location is quiet and the views are great.
