    I had a large room complete with climate control, a safe, and multi-channel TV. It was an ideal location right by the BEAUTIFUL GAMBIA, beach bars and Marouun's supermarket.

    The hotel was beautifully kept, I appreciated its exceptional stuff. Location: the venue was close enough to dining places as well as a platform a foot higher than the rest of the bathroom. It also was close to the beech...

    I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The cleanliness of the rooms and the hotel facilities were top-notch. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, with the beach just a short walk away and plenty of beach bars to choose from. Additionally, there were supermarkets nearby for convenience.

    Nothing, all was good.

    The apartment was very spacious, with a dining room and a front room complete with sofas and a TV. The kitchen was well-equipped for self-catering purposes. The staff were wonderful and provided daily cleaning and fresh towels. The pool area was lovely, and Max the pool boy was excellent. The location was great, just a 2-minute walk to the beach, with plenty of restaurants and bars nearby.

    The bathroom in the studio room needed a little updating and there was a potential hazard with a platform a foot higher than the rest of the bathroom, which could be a trip hazard.

    Had a new year stay at a hotel in Kotu. Complimentary drinks on arrival and nice reception. Location is good, near to the beach and restaurants. The apartment had a good view of the surroundings.

    The room was very outdated with a lot of wear and tear. The shower was not up to standard, water pressure was low and changing temperature from hot to cold.

    Despite a minor hiccup with payment, my stay at Calabash Residence was fantastic. The apartments were spacious and impeccably clean, with all the comforts of home. The location was ideal, just a short walk to the beach and many nearby restaurants. The pool and bar area were top-notch, and the staff were friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this hotel for a wonderful stay in Gambia.

    The Calabash Residence Apartments provided us with a fantastic stay. The spacious apartment was well-equipped for a self-catered stay, but with the array of restaurants and bars nearby, we hardly needed to cook. The hotel's location on Palma Rima road, right next to Churchill's Pub, was perfect for exploring dining options. We also appreciated the convenience of taxis to the Senegambia area and the short stroll to a beautiful beach. The staff were exceptional, with friendly and helpful service throughout our stay. The rooms were comfortable, and we loved the balcony, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or evening drink. As for breakfast, it was delicious and provided a great start to our days. this hotel exceeded our expectations in terms of value for money, attention to detail, and the friendly atmosphere.

    All was spot on, nothing to improve!
