African Princess Beach Hotel

Verry Good

It was great

Fabulous time staying at this hotel, lovely quiet corner swim up room, sun all day from around 11am. Room 310 Staff helpful and friendly special shoutout to Trainee Sarah from the bar, today is her last day as a trainee and should definitely be employed, lovely and friendly and very competent. We did want to extend our room on last day but not available however reception sorted a room for us to use before our flight,

This was my first visit to The Gambia on an organised wildlife-watching trip based at the African Princess hotel. Sadly on the first morning I was unwell and confined to the hotel for the duration of the holiday, I should point out it was a heart problem and absolutely nothing connected to the hotel or being in The Gambia. The managers, Abraham and Roy, were absolutely brilliant making sure I was OK as were all the staff including reception, bar staff and housekeeping (Isa) providing a wheelchair to keep me mobile. The room was of a high standard, very clean etc. the restaurant very good serving lovely food, there was nothing that I would comment adversely on. At the time of writing I am still awaiting further treatment hence why I have not written this before. If/when I return to see the wildlife I missed I will undoubtedly base my trip at the African Princess hotel.

Lovely hotel we had room with pool ,beds very hard, hotel put quilt on bottom to ease my back. Food is not the best and over priced.local eateries everywhere so no big deal. Gambia beautiful although be prepared for begging. Solomon bar next door great . Markets everywhere . All in all great holiday .I will come again. Gambians very friendly

Wonderful stay here in February 2024. First time to The Gambia so a little bit apprehensive about what our experience might be, but the whole holiday exceeded our expectations. All hotel staff are friendly and eager to assist. Hotel is very clean and comfortable. Do yourself a favor and book a swim up room, excellent! Just decide whether you want the sunny or shady side and email the hotel with your preference. Go out of the hotel and walk to the main road, there are taxis, bars, restaurants and even a small shop (which is very Gambian!). If you can, go on the Janjanbureh 2 day excursion, it’s rustic but what an experience! All in all, brilliant holiday.

Another lovely stay at The African Princess Hotel , staff are lovely , nothing is too much trouble . Weather perfect , we really enjoyed being back in the Gambia. A big thank you to Musa ( head of housekeeping ) also Roy & the breakfast staff ,Mathias , Mariama , Fatou , , and Modu & George etc in the evening . Also the Pool boys who looked after us every day . Hope too see you all agin November .

There is nothing I did not love about this place. It started off with a room change to meet our needs, so whilst we waited for this to take place we tried the cocktails. The staff are impeccable and all go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible, all of them. Room cleaning staff, bar & restaurant staff, gardeners, pool attendants & life guards, reception, customer services, cooks, chefs and even management. The rooms are clean, bright and in good taste with the biggest and most comfortable bed. The pools.....ahhh. What can I say about the pools, there are thousands of them. From swim up pools to your room, a deep blue main pool and the lovely long pool alongside block 400's (where we stayed). Cleaned daily and kept in excellent and safe condition. You just wanna jump in, your just gotta jump in. The food was excellent too. Buffet breakfast with my own style pancakes to order (thank you Edward). Evening meals with very generous portions. Al la carte for the first few days then changed to buffet once the hotel became fuller. Topped off with a good dose of hotel entertainment and yes you guessed it more cocktails. A big shout goes out to Ibrahim who is the best bar Cocktail Maker in the World. He made us the best Long Island Ice Tea's & Pina Colada's you could ever wish for. Finally a big thank you to Yankuba who treated us like family from the very beginning and helped me out with a problem with ease and integrity even after I had returned home. See you next year familyxXx

The hotel was right on a beautiful sandy beach, where you can watch the fishermen bring in their catch, and locals at leisure. Sunbeds and umbrellas are free from the hotel. Grounds are clean, gardens and pools are beautifully kept. Rooms are big and modern with AC and good WiFi and all expected amenities We were bed and breakfast, so we ate locally at night. Plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. I would not take young children as there are no amenities for them, recommend adults only.
