Kalimba Beach Resort

First time in The Gambia, and what a beautiful country with such welcoming people! I stayed at Kalimba Beach Resort, and we had an amazing stay. The staff was very attentive and helpful. A huge thank you to our housekeeper Fatou, the bar staff Assan and Sally! The ladies at the reception were fantastic as well. The rest of the team also contributed to making our stay so enjoyable. Thank you!!! We will definitely be coming back! All the best best.

Tired hotel, in need of an overhaul & grubby. Food decidedly averag... Whilst we had an amazing holiday in The Gambia the Tamala & kalimba (next door to each other) are decidedly average to poor hotels. The grounds are really lovely & well kept. The staff are fabulous ESPECIALLY "PENDA" who works in the restaurant in Kimbala, what a wonderful lady, always a smile on her face & always very attentive. A ray of sunshine & asset to the hotel. Unfortunately the hotel rooms are tired & in desperate need of updating. The rooms were not clean, smelly & rusty which is a shame as they could be so nice. The manager at the Tamala made up a story about our room not being ready due to an issue but I truly believe so many people had complained & the rooms that should have been available were not. His answer was "this is Africa" which yes it is Africa, but I paid for my holiday in GBP£f The restaurant was like school dinners but enough choice, food very average & only 1 local dish. The BBQ night ridiculous as it catered for the whole hotel so was a massive queue. & was so over cooked. Over all in need of a desperate overhaul & improvement for the food.
