Great location and everything was spotlessly clean. The room was spacious and we absolutely loved the swim-up room. But best of all were all the staff, who were friendly, extremely helpful and went out of their way to make the stay feel truly special.

My stay at African Princess Beach Resort was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The location is unbeatable—right on the beach with stunning ocean views and the most relaxing poolside vibes. Waking up to the sound of the waves and ending the day with breathtaking sunsets was everything I needed and more. The rooms were clean, modern, and very comfortable. Everything was well-maintained, and you can tell they really care about the guest experience. The staff? Top tier! Everyone was so warm, welcoming, and attentive—it truly felt like a home away from home. Their hospitality made my trip even more special. From the delicious food to the chill atmosphere, this resort gives you the perfect mix of relaxation and good vibes. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, enjoying the beach, or just soaking in the energy of The Gambia, it’s an experience you won’t forget. 🌴 10/10 – I’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend to anyone visiting The Gambia! ✨

All very good. Only thing: there should be body lotion and hair conditionner in the room. Also, checkout time is noon. Cleaning came at 11:45 AM, sending me scrambling to vacate the room because my phone wasn't handy to check the time. They didn't ask I vacate right (it's Ok, we will come later) then but I got the message.
