Guest Reviews
- Gabriele (9/5): Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in dieser Anlage verbracht! - Die Lage wunderschön und der Garten sehr gepflegt, das Pool ist sehr großzügig und perfekt für die ganze Familie! Die Apartments sind geräumig, sauber aber auch schon in die Jahre gekommen. Personal sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich! Die Ausstattung der Küche lässt sehr zu wünschen übrig!
- Jasper (8/5): Proper en groot appartement - Groot zwembad met goeie ligzetels Hard bed maar wel comfortabel, keuken is zeer beperkt
- Guest (9/5): Kwaliteit prijs verhouding is goed - Vriendelijke personeel Weinig keuze voor eten en drinken
- MrAngelborn (10/5): -
- Virginia (7/5): -
- marcel (8/5): -
- rune (3/5): Teleurstellend - Dicht bij het strand Veel muggen en een niet werkende airco
Restaurant was verplaatst weg van het strand doodzonde
- Nailah (8/5): Overall visit was good , but when there was an issue with the absence of washing machine and staff failed to clean room - Great location and scenery , large spacious accommodation Some staff were poor at customer services when there was an issue
- Julio Gomes Viana (10/5): -
- Ingar (8/5): - The quietness, the sound of waves, palm trees in front of the window, singing of birds, space, cleanliness, staff No water available, ni coffee in the rooms
- Gitte (7/5): Skønne omgivelser og de sødeste ansatte . Lejlihed “ lidt slidt” , men super beliggenhed ved stranden og i rolige omgive - Beliggenhed, pænt udendørsområde, gartnerne holder det så fint . Lamin og købmand, de sødeste mennesker . Poolen ren , osse her sød poolmand . Dejlig balkon og gode senge Vi havde en aircondition som ikke virkede i det ene værelse , vi tjekkede ind lørdag og den fungerede først torsdag . Ikke varm vand . Køkken udstyr minimal, man skal spørge rengøringsdamen , hvis man har ønsker !! Besværligt.
- Amina (10/5): Peaceful and private - I was really lucky to find this serviced apartment. The rooms are large, clean, and very comfortable. The whole place is quiet and relaxing — perfect as I needed to unwind and get a good night’s sleep.
The pool is well kept and private for only residents, and the staff are friendly and always ready to help.
Overall, a peaceful and enjoyable stay. Would definitely come back when I need to get away from it all.

- GMLogica (9/5): My Go-To Place in The Gambia - I’ve been staying here on and off for the past five years, and I absolutely love it. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. The pool is now for residents only, which is fantastic — sometimes you get the whole place to yourself to read or unwind without any noise or crowd.
The staff and services tick all the boxes for me. There’s a good breakfast during the tourist season, but since it’s a serviced apartment, you can easily prepare your own meals if you prefer.
Great location, calm and ideal for working or relaxing away from home. Overall, a consistently excellent stay with amazing staff and service.

- Ben (8/5): good -
- José Luis (5/5): Muy bien pero pueden mej - La ubicación y el personal. El recepcionista 'Yaya' siempre atento y dispuesto a ayudar, absoluta amabilidad y eficacia Hotel prácticamente vacío, no servicio de bar ni de restaurante.
Apartamento antiguo pero.muy grande y aceptable con buen sistema de aire acondicionado.
- Trevor (3/5): Not what i expected. I expected better. - Reception staff and management great very helpful. No air con in Living room. Bathroom facilities bad, no pressure in water taps. Dripping water. Poor shower pressure. No insect nightly spray deterrent by staff.
- Trevor (5/5): It was ok. - The pool was good and the senior reception staff very polite. The state of the room, insect, no air con in the main living room and cleaning staff. As items went missing and then suddenly returned.

- Guest (8/5): J'ai bien aimé mon séjour. Le personnel y est vraiment sympa et prêt à vous aider. - Le personnel est siper sympa et aidant. C'est un endroit très adapté pour une famille. Vous payez 3.5% de vos frais du logement si vous utilisez une carte de crédit.
- Anonymous (9/5): Quiet and Relaxing perfect for a quick reset - Just what I needed for a quiet getaway to relax and reset. All was in order as expected, and the minimarket was nice and handy to have. The gardens are my favorite part, and my apartment was situated right in the midst of it. Thank you, SF team. will be back for sure. Grazie!
- Abdoul (10/5): Excellent apartments - I love these apartments! Great location, little shop to grab last-minute supplies, the apartments are clean, spacious and have everything you need for self-catering. I was booked into one of their newly renovated apartments, which was nice. There is also a nice cosy lounge/restaurant, should you need breakfast (but you have to notify in advance during the low season, I am told). The Property is ocean front. Best part is the pool...So quiet and private, it's only for residents' use. Thank you, team Seafront, as always. -
- Anonymous (9/5): Just what you need for a hassle free stay in The Gambia. - Clean and super spacious accommodation with stunning gardens and ocean views, lovely gardens with lots of seating and lounge spots. Very big pool to lounge or sleep around undisturbed. The property is very safe and the staff are very attentive to your needs. Units were very comfortable with a few very minor issues, which were very quickly resolved.
Lovely golf course at the Fajara Club, which the reception arranged for us. Enjoyed the coffee shop for breakfast and sandwiches during the day.
The property has a helpful night manager who can arrange takeaway orders with restaurant recommendations etc, for you when you cannot be bothered to go explore. Will definitely be booking long-term here once i am ready to relocate to The Gambia for work.
- Gmlogica (9/5): Wonderful spacious apartments perfect for a quiet and private stay. - Came to The Gambia for work and wanted a living space I could walk around in whilst I had meetings, etc
Rooms are super clean and tidy. Housekeeping lovely.
The complex is tranquil with few apartments, and at times, I had the entire pool to myself!
The location of this residence is perfect, beachside with only a 5-minute taxi ride to shops/bars/restaurants in Senegambia. You can take a walk down the coastline, which takes slightly longer. There is also a shop in the complex where you can buy what you need to prepare whatever you need in the apartment.
If you need a good cup of coffee, there is a lovely little lady in the coffee shop called Awa who prepares a mean cappuccino. I had some of my meetings here.
Many thanks, I would for sure stay again on my next business trip. Would like more fresh fruit options in the shop, but I was told that happens, but only during the high Tourist season.
- Claudia (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast at the coffee shop with Awa was lovely! we had freshly baked pastries and very nice Ethiopian coffee
- Marion (8/5): Very good - The staff is very attentive to needs of customers. The apartment was clean and functional. The Wifi in the room was not reliable. The room service doesn’t seem to be available even though it’s offered.
- Kalijatou (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mamadou (1/5): Care free attitude - Nothing Advertising a service when they fully knew that it was off season in The Gambia and the place was closed for maintenance
I only knew this when I was at the gate
It was only by God's grace that I managed to find a place at time of the night
Very unprofessional to take and confirm a booking when not in service
Care free attitude is astounding
- Glendene (1/5): Very disappointing - The wedding area When we arrived for our wedding we had 2 one bed apartments already booked from earlier in the year. We then double checked the booking the week before. On the evening before the wedding day when we arrived at the hotel to check in we were told that there were no rooms available for us as there was an electrical fault in some rooms. They informed us that other guest arrivals had to be moved to other hotels and they tried to put us in the hotel next door which is just about a 2 star hotel. After much complaining and reminding that our wedding was the following day in the same hotel and speaking to the hotel owner, we managed to get a room, by moving out a long term occupant who was not there. The room was dirty as it had not been cleaned for several days. We could not stay there so we took all our wedding stuff and stayed at a Friends apartment for the night. On return early the next morning of the wedding, we tried to get our second room but this was not possible. We had to use the one room for everyone to change both male and female. This delayed the start of the wedding by half an hour.
- Lene (2/5): Disappointing - Wonderful location by the beach. Calm and quiet. Friendly staff. Big rooms. Water often missing in the tubes. WiFi only in one room. Restaurant didn’t have many of the dishes on the menu card. We had payed 300 euros extra for a sea view but got a garden view, and no refund possible. Compensation by using the restaurant, but it was not easy.
- Clement (9/5): Superb - clean environment
- Lesze (6/5): Pleasant -
- Qingning (10/5): Exceptional -
- Elisha (8/5): Very good - We loved the friendliness of the staff - especially Umar Bah was really accomodating us and made us feel like home. Apart from that also the food and the pool was really nice! We'd love to visit again soon. We did not like the beach area - but as there was a cold wind, it was okay and we did not go there too much.
- Mujtaba (3/5): Big water problem - Staff is very friendly. Beach is great and convenient. Space was large. Location was good. Water! The hotel has a water connection problem...it randomly shuts off
The front desk was unhelpful and caegy
- Sarah (8/5): beach front hotel with first class staff - The hotel was well positioned right next to Bijilo beach with easy access to the sand. The hotel boasts a great swimming pool and a beach side restaurant which served a lovely breakfast and dinner . All the staff were very helpful and friendly .
Our apartment had a lovely balcony overlooking the gardens we had issues with the water supply to our apartment . we were only at the hotel for 24 hours but during this time we lost water about 5 times . when we rang reception we were always told there was an issue with the tank . I ended up taking cold showers down by the pool .
The apartment itself was a little tired especially the kitchen area
- Олена (5/5): Passable -
- Rebecca (8/5): Do try the restaurant! We really enjoyed our stay. - The room was excellent, (a bit dark as low watt spots), set in lovely well kept grounds. We loved the pool area, staff were wonderful and the breakfast which is included (continental) was great. It included croissants/ pan au chocolate, cereal, yoghurt, and a fruit platter. You won’t be disappointed if you eat at the restaurant at night either. Really good food. Their portion sizes are huge, and they do excellent pasta dishes / was amazed at their tasty spaghetti bolognaise. The water was temperamental - a couple of times there was none. But we called reception, and was soon sorted.
- Narcis (10/5): Excelent. Thanks to the recepcionist for the help! - Employee's attention. Really kind and helpfull. Specially Yaya and his collegue in the reception who really help us since we got some personal trouble. Nothing to highlight. Everything was nice
- Dionne (6/5): Pleasant -
- Gail (7/5): Short break test out quality - Loved the spacious clean quiet sea view apartment
The whole place inside and out were spotless clean
Loved short distance from room to pool and beach
Loved the menu lots tasty food
Loved helpful staff
Loved the pool guy who got me extra.large towels for sunbed
Loved the security monitored felt safe secure as solo female tourist
Loved having telephone in room to call reception who were attentive and supportive
Loved the large comfy bed had the best sleep ever
Loved I could play my music whilst sunbathing with no complaints
Loved the kitchen and fridge freezer enabled me store cheap cold drinks beers from supermarket saving me money
Loved the fact the advertised photos were exactly the same as real thing no photoshopped pics No sunbeds on beach shocked as especially as is a Seaview hotel staff need to sort that out provide sunbeds for customers who love to be on beach
The garden were sunbeds are near the beach the grass was too long that meant lots of mosquitoes !!! I have never been bitten so bad ! Bitten more at this hotel than the last 3 weeks in gambia! As its high season and high prices I suggest high maintenance is needed - cut grass weekly keep it low limit mozzies
Couldn't sunbathe in garden due to high grass and mozzies pool sunbeds not enough sun umbrellas for customers too hot stay in sun without them and can't even sunbathe on beach as no sunbeds didn't expect this from 4 star hotel
Waiting time for food in restaurants is slow ! Ordered Indian meal usually serve naan bread with main course - nope not here 30mins after I finished meal still not arrived when I enquired said they will ask chef and seemed annoyed when I said cancel the order as its too late! Maybe some lessons on serving food is required
Paying by car slow doesn't work so I suggest you pay in dalasi
More organisation between staff is needed at checkout asked for full bill to be settled was given it paid it then as about to leave chased and told there is more to be paid! Not really.professional approach as would expect from 4 star Hotel its not massive complaints my point is if the hotel is charging high prices which I paid then I demand and expect a high level of professionalism for my.money
