“My last stop in The Gambia and definitely the best!”
Aisha, who was in charge, was brilliant, generated a lot of good vibes. The beach is barely 5 minutes away, and the roundhuts are well separated and surrounded by vegetation. The food was absolutely terrific and cold beers were available. A great place for walking and bird-watching and the village, which is easy to walk to, is cleaner than most. Very few people there in mid-March it might be different in the high season. You benefit from staying at a place that is well established and well run.

“An unforgettable stay surrounded by the nature and beautiful people”
The family who runs the business is super friendly and made my stay unforgettable. I was visiting during very low season thus I was the only guest in the lodge. The staff took great care of me and I tried some delicious meals. The feeling of being surrounded by the nature is both intimidating and fascinating. I definitely recommend the place and would love to come back!

“best peaceful area in the gambia”
private, minimarket close by, not so hot since it’s covered by trees, private beach entrance on the quiet side of the beach, restaurant with ok priced meals and good food, the dogs on this property are the loveliest dogs around and will accompany you basically anywhere around the area if you want them to<3

“Stunning eco-lodge with an excellent team”
I had a wonderful time here. Was originally planning to stay 1 night, and ended staying 4, and would have spent a few more, no doubt. Lamin has created a great resort and atmosphere with an excellent team, mainly family. His daughter Aisha is a great cook, you will enjoy the breakfast, far over average, or any of the dishes they serve in the big and nice restaurant area. The bungalows are clean, well isolated from each other, and very comfortable. I had amazing rest, as you are not close to the road or noisy places-- yet walking distance to a convenience store in the road and easy to get to the town by bike. The sleeping is exceptional, as the resort is also front-beach, and all you hear at night is the sound of the waves. The beach is beautiful, clean and very well kept by the team, and has a few umbrellas and hammocks for the guests. I enjoyed there amazing sunsets, baths and naps. There are great walks nearby that you can explore around: Gunjur if you go North; Kartong, if you go south, I recommend both. Ask Lamin if you want ideas to explore the area (or others), he gave me great advice to find some of the best highlights in my 1 month trip in Senegal and Gambia. In all: comfortable place in every sense, highly recommended.
