Kololi beach We stayed at Kololi beach for 11 days and nights over Christmas. We came with our two young daughters. We had been to the Gambia 15 years ago before we were married. We were a little apprehensive before going and not quite sure what to expect. The resort accommodation- We stayed in a bungalow (V33) which was great, spacious and clean. This is no 5 star hotel but what it is a very comfortable resort in a great location in fantastic garden setting. There are a lot of birds and the days are filled with bird song. The beach is nice and the pools were thoroughly enjoyed by our daughters, so 5 star for us. Communication- I had a number of questions before we arrived which I raised by email and Grace was exceptionally helpful in answering them and also organising a transfer. Salt - this restaurant has a lovely setting overlooking the beach, great place to sit and watch the ocean. The cocktails were excellent the food was ok. Unfortunately the service was slow, but I think it was more the time of year with the staff and kitchen being exceptionally busy. You just had to be patient. Staff - from the waiters to front desk, to the pool and beach attendants and those undertaking maintenance everyone was exceptionally polite and friendly and all were very appreciative when tipped. Overall- we would highly recommend this very relaxed resort and were looking to go back.
