The food wasn’t very good with very limited options for vegans.

The staff were friendly and helpful. Lovely location for a work event. The rooms were spacious and comfortable.

1. The hotel doesn't have POS that can use international ATM visa cards. - During admission, i used the local POS to make payments but when i wanted to extend my stay, i could not be allowed to use the POS and that caused a commotion with the reception staff on duty who insisted on provision of international zip code to be allowed to pay for extension. That was embarrassing!! 2. The rooms definitely need an upgrade! Tamala is beautiful but the rooms look old and not very inviting

The ambience, the beach, entertainment, very friendly restaurant staff.

Wear and tear

Tamala Beach Resort is truly impressive — the design is beautiful, the location is ideal, and the surrounding scenery is stunning. The staff are exceptionally friendly, attentive, and responsive, which adds greatly to the overall experience. The food is enjoyable, and the facilities meet expectations. Everything was great, aside from some minor signs of wear and tear.

when i arrived and had a up close look i noticed the bathrooms and balconies need a deep clean. Beach chairs are dirty and shabby and bathrooms need maintenance and cleaning. The beach area is in need of some love aswel as it was very unkept. Beach loungers are very dirty also

The Staff where so friendly and amazing the hotel looks very gorgeous in pictures. The garden and outside area is immaculate and garden is prooned to perfection.

The food could really do with an upgrade to quality for what you pay per night food should be better. More variety and better quality overall.

The location and 24 hour gym and privacy.

When we checked in we went on the balcony and got locked outside due sliding door lock was faulty, 2 guests went to reception for help and it took 45 mins for a member of staff to attend. The faulty lock was replaced the following day. The chair covers on the balcony and on sofa in room were filthy and the pillows did not have pillow cases. This rectified the following day. My cousins room door didn’t lock nor did her balcony door. The was repaired the following day. All of the above should have been addressed before we checked in, I will say the staff were eager to rectify the issues however, it was quite unsettling to be met with all these issues on the first day. I would also suggest an additional toaster in the dining area also more bins to be stationed around the hotel

Very spacious and lots of room

Breakfast was busy and short of cutlery and everything. Staff was not able to correct this and did show limited involvement. This improved later in the week.

Great beds and especially pillows. Spacious rooms.

The power, there were several power cuts. (Partly out of your hands)

Fresh fruit at the breakfast was really good

Stayed in June 2024

A little far from anything else around so likely your only real option for food and drinks most of the time, which is a little frustrating given the prices they charge for them.

Very nice hotel with huge rooms and great location for the beach. Good WiFi too.

I had an upset stomach for 5 days and we only ate food and drank at the hotel. We paid for a private pool with a sea view which was dirty and full of rubbish from the trees and beach. The weather was windy while we were there but no attempt was made to try and clean the pool.

Food was good, the layout of the hotel was good and spacious and seating was comfortable. The beds were very comfortable. The whole experience was very relaxing and enjoyable.

The place is definitely in need of some maintenance and the rooms/bathrooms/gym/spa are quite run down. The dinner restaurant is incredibly slow and the menu was limited with many items missing each day. But compared to the rest of the country and the condition of things it was paradise. So as long as one has expectation in line and recognizes it is all relative then I would say it was excellent for Africa.

Breakfast was good. The landscaping and vies are beautiful and the pools were wonderful. Also the staff all were very respectful , helpful and went out of their way to help us.

Running low of tap water in their bathroom

The customer service is very good

The security personnel promised to investigate the theft of my watch (and, how I found out later, of my electric beard trimmer) and screen the surveillance camera videos. In spite of my mail written to General Manage4 Victor... I heard nothing! This was a disappointment for me!

The Sunprime Tamala Beach is a big hotel complex directly at Kotu Beach. There are not many shops around. The ambience is really good and the staff friendly.

AC didn’t work properly in my room and management did not do anything about it.

Excellent location , very friendly and helpful staff most of the time

We had a few problems with the room and management/reception took way too long to solve them, we even had to ask twice for some issues. The restaurant in the resort was very slow in our experience, to serve as well as to prepare the food.

Nicely planned hotel resort right at the beach, with great swimming pool facilities. Good price, speaking as a European. Staff were friendly, not intrusive. Felt safe there, everything was clean. Breakfast was great. I guess this is one of the best hotels you can stay at in The Gambia.

Nothing to complain about

Beautiful atmosphere. Very clean. Right on the veach. Wifi and electricity 24/7 Staff were amazing. The pools look like the fotos in the advertising. @Ida@madelene @Udama @Adamaawa

It is really hot in the lobby area not even a fan there. The breakfast was way too crowded. You have to be in line waiting for a lot of stuff. There is also no free late checkout even just for 1-2 hours. They will charge you hourly.

The cakes weren’t good at all, the mashed potatoes could use some more butter. Other than that everything was good.

Fantastic property, amazing staff, vibrant and we liked the themed nights !
