My husband and I just returned from two wonderful weeks at this hotel. It was our first visit to Gambia and it was more than we expected. Our room was lovely and cleaned daily by a lovely woman called Ramatoulie. One of the grounds people even brought us some comfy wicker chairs to sit outside our room in the afternoon,... More

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

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.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel at Christmas and left a glowing report, We then revisited the Gambia over Easter and stayed at the Palm beach again, Sometimes you find the the second visit is not so great. (Not so) the staff remembered us and made us feel welcome, The management were again very attentive and nothing seemed... 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
