As another reviewer says, avoid the rooms near the entrance, which are motel-like (albeit cheaper) and which I hear are Thomas Cook's standard fare. We had a suite, which was excellent, and booked through the Gambia Experience company who are well-regarded in The Gambia and have very good local staff and their office next door in the Senegambia hotel.

The Hotel is both a beach resort and business hotel so as well as a great beach and pool area, there is a great array of food and good quality wi-fi for free. The "Standard" rooms are located by the entrance and more like what you'd expect from a cheap motel and situated near the main entrance so it's worth... More

Ton of reviews, not surprising as this is a big hotel doing a trade in package travel. Preeminent establishment in town, with the infrastructure to do meeting, large group events. Was quiet during this non-high season stay. Facility itself a little dated, but well-kept and was built to first-class standard. Big negatives are lack of wifi in rooms (they're 'working'... More

Staff at the Kariba Beach Hotel are so friendly, always have a big smile for you. The reception was efficient, but the connectivity for the credit card machine was a bit problematic. The breakfast was a bit of a let down, quite basic things on offer and some items were not the freshest. The food from the restaurant by the... More

OK - so we're not exactly stangers to the Gambia; my wife Chris and I got married out there in 2001 and have been over a dozen times. However, this was the first time we had been to the Gambia with our two young children, Jack (6) and Millie (3). We knew everyone was going to be OK with the... More

We stayed here the first two weeks of May 2013 for our first visit to The Gambia. We stayed in a premium suite in block 10, As many have said the rooms are looking a little tired but the room was kept clean and was very comfortable. We had an issue with noisy air con in the bedroom when shown... More

Waking up to monkeys running around you as you leave your room is the best thing ever. They run free in the grounds of the Kairaba Beach. The staff are amazing and will do anything to make your stay wonderful. One tip is not to talk too much to the security staff who walk around the perimeter of the grounds... More
