Kombo Beach Resort

This was our first time in Gambia and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Kombo Beach Resort is undergoing refurbishment with one new block due to be completed in a few months though you could not hear any noise. We were in Block A which I believe was done last year. Everything was new and in good working order but the quality of the finishing could definitely have been better. As per many of the other reviews, the staff are all very friendly and eager to help. A special thanks to the bar and restaurant staff but especially Terema for her attentive service. As vegetarians there was plenty of choice for breakfast with one Indian speciality each morning. The choices in the evening were quite limited for us on some days but the chefs Shankar and Bhagwan prepared something for us every day. At one lunch, Bhagwan was making Momos but these were all non veg. The next day, he specifically made vegetarian ones for us. Shankar even made us Aloo Paratha for breakfast on the day we left and packed some for the flight back. This definitely made us feel special and are so grateful to them. As vegetarians it would be more helpful if the labelling of the food was better with maybe a green V sticker to indicate what is suitable for vegetarians. The hotel is in a great location right on the beach and the weather at this time of year is perfect. It's very pleasant most of the time but can get hot between midday and 4pm but thankfully hardly any mosquitos! Thank you to Victor and his team for a lovely relaxing time at the hotel.

Currently halfway through our stay(room 211). 2nd visit here after staying last year when the hotel wasnt quite finished. Loved it last year, but even better this year. Food has improved, lots of choice and all fresh. More daytime activities(aerobics, yoga, darts etc) and a well equipped gym. Staff amazing, especially Sabina behind the bar who is a mother figure to everyone. Look forward to our next stay in 2026!

Spent a truly relaxing and enjoyable week at this comfortable, clean and service minded hotel. Thanks to General Manager Victor Soares and restaurant manager Madeline Jallow F8b and staff members for excellent service throughout the week. Can truly recommend this place

Not 4 star, building work ruined our stay, we paid thousands to stay here we cannot fault local staff but managers are all talk and smarm to get you to believe they care, they don’t. No mention on Gambia experience website of the ongoing building work, it’s just outrageous we saved all year for this holiday.We booked a beach view room there was ongoing building work every day banging and hammering and generators on and off all day. Rubble piles outside the hotel it’s just not what we wanted to experience here. I’ve been here at least 5 times this time will be the last I won’t waste my money coming back to Kombo beach I’ll use one of the other many excellent hotels available here, WITH NO BUILDING WORK. DONT WASTE Your HARD EARNED MONEY.

Had the most fantastic holiday. The hotel is lovely and the public areas are constantly being cleaned. The rooms are spacious, well presented and also kept beautifully clean. The staff are delightful, so hard working but always polite and ready to help and invariably with a big smile. There is a wide variety of delicious food. Travelling alone I was made to feel so welcome. Linda at the bar is just great and such fun - she certainly knows how to pour an excellent vodka and pineapple! It was great to see so many familiar faces from Tamala. Thank you so much to you all for your caring, happy attitudes. My especial thanks must go to Madeline (congratulations on your so well deserved promotion) and to Victor both of whom made my holiday extra special. I'll definitely be coming back!

Lovely hotel, good location. Staff friendly and helpful. I will give a special mention to kaddy janmeh. A very special lady and hard worker, first class service. Highly recommend. Thank you kaddy. See you again. I would not use fully inclusive as it's killing local economy plus I like to experience local life
