Tamala Beach Resort

Ausgezeichnete Lage, freundliches Personal. Viel Auswahl zum Frühstück.

It’s verry good place

Most amazing hotel with fantastic staff. Stayed for 11 nights, the room is spacious, the swim up pool is superb and the ocean view was picture perfect. The restaurant/ bar offered excellent food, just occasionally the staff got things wrong but it was always sorted sufficiently. The breakfast was plentiful, always refilling anything running low, pancakes made to order, omelette individually made to suit your taste, fresh fruit cut up to your preference. Pool maintenance team were always friendly and did an excellent job every day. Special mention to Alpha for sorting any issues and Babou (sorry if that's spelt incorrectly) for his excellent, outstanding, and incredibly friendly service each morning at breakfast, always smiling and ready to help. Would love to return maybe in high season to experience nightlife and daytime entertainment.

4* hotel with 5* service, headed by Sanna (Ops Manager). A BIG SHOUT OUT to Alpha (Guest Relations Manager), who seems omnipresent and plays a vital part in communicating between the staff and guests. Simply put, if you need something or your room needs attending to then please speak to him and it will be done. Thanks to the ever smiling and helpful Sambou (Front Desk), Kebba (Hse Keeping), who located a lost item of clothing by the pool. To the numerous friendly waiting folk and the general hotel staff including Kinteh. We have just vacated our room after a 12 night stay in a swim up ocean view room, namely 4101, after starting our stay in room 1104. ROOM -If you're wanting a sun deck which actually gets the sun then opt for the block on the right of the complex. Which is situated on the right, as u look out to sea. The shared pool is cleaned and treated every day, by dedicated lovely guys who always engage. Our rooms were cleaned daily and smelt hygienic. Fresh linen daily and bottles of water replenished too. Importantly the AC was efficient and very quiet. AMENITIES-The gym is the same as you see in the pics and YouTube, with plenty of equipment for either cardio, free weights and resistance machines. Out of season like now, the place was empty. FOOD-We stayed HB, meaning breakfast or a choice of lunch or supper. The menu was varied, which included dishes for vegetarians and I'm sure they would accommodate most realistic requests. The breakfast was a mixture of European cold meats and cheeses, continental pastries, cereal, plus a varied selection of noodles, baked beans and eggs with various fillings. All this plus lots of fresh fruits, cut for ur plate. Coffee machine, tea and numerous fresh juices. SERVICE-The table service was quick and efficient and tips were greeted with surprise, rather than expected by the friendly Ousman and Amadou. SUPERMARKETS-If you venture out to stock the room fridge then visit Maroun's on the highway, which is the first one you come to. A 15 min walk away. If that's not enough then keep walking as there's plenty more. POOL- The main pool like the room ones are cleaned and treated daily, with maintenance throughout the day. There's plenty of beds for guests, even ones on the beach with their own thatched parasols. There's a pool attendant giving out blue towels on request, so no need to using the room ones. GARDENS-Maintained, daily, and ensure you venture out at night to see the fruit bats enjoying the trees. BEACH/SECURITY/HAWKERS-The hotels management ensures that the hawkers don't venture any nearer than 30yds, to where your sitting. Although saying that there's no hard sell, even when you walk along to the right or left. We felt felt safe at night as they're on duty 24 hrs a day. During our stay there was a group of local women cleaning the debris from the sand. TAXI-Please use a local family man who only needs 30mins notice. His airport tramsfer, either way is D1000, rather than a ra

I was born in the Netherlands, but in my quest for self-discovery, it became clear that my true essence lies in Africa. While sitting on the couch, I felt the urge to visit my motherland and ended up choosing Gambia. When selecting a hotel, my choice was quickly made. Tamala Resort looked so inviting. Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed by Mustapha at the front office. He made me feel like I had arrived home. I made this trip alone, yet I felt incredibly safe in this resort. It was as if I was surrounded by brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts. I experienced exactly what I needed here. I found peace, my self-confidence grew, and I met wonderful people. Tamala Resort, I'll be back soon!
