“Lovely resort by the beach”
The hotel is five star, the services are five star, the location is perfect a the beach and with not so much human traffic on the beach. The staff were very professional and friendly. I love the fact that there was a mango tree just right outside my room.

“Wonderful and relaxed.”
Wonderful staff who couldn't do enough to make our stay comfortable and fun. The restaurant and bar staff were attentive and helpful. The chefs were great and provided a variety of choices at every meal time. Special mention to Chef Kujabi. Our room was serviced daily- special mention to Saiko Danso. Good to see well trained and viligant lifeguards present. A relaxed and professional approach by the mainly Gambian staff. A credit to your country, community and polished hospitality skills.

hotel located right on the beach, with well-kept gardens and cleverly designed pools; very friendly and helpful staff, tasty varied meals and comfortable spacious rooms (we received a room with a beautiful view of the beach); if you are looking for a modern facility where you feel safe and comfortable, yet intimate, Kalimba is a very good choice

“On my list to go again and stay much longer”
This is a beautiful place to relax for a few days. The staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly. The rooms are big and nicely furnished. The provided Moskito Net over the bed gives added comfort, also I did not see any. I will definitely stay there again next time I am in Gambia.
