4 day stay at Coral Beach

The status and ownership of the hotel had changed between booking and stay, from a la carte to all inclusive. If we had known this (not informed by hotels.com or the hotel) we would not have stayed. A number of issues with the room took too long to be sorted. Location was ok and staff very friendly and helpful. Initially given inferior room to the one booked, before changing to correct type. Unfortunately this felt like one of the ‘spare’ rooms at the end of the property and was not set up for 3 people as requested and had a number of problems. This booking was made in April yet we were forced to feel like we had been squeezed in at the last minute. We think the hotel is probably ok for people who choose to do all inclusive and for most rooms at most times and we were unfortunate under the prevailing circumstances. However, that does not mean we were able to have the luxury relaxing holiday we had hoped for. Too much time was spent wondering and worrying about the problems we were encountering.

Excellent hotel location, lovely beach. Only complaint is food in hotel, menue average but they didnt have a lot of dishes available, so went hungry a few times, . Taxi's expensive to main strip to bars & resturants, which is annoying , as eating out is a must with food choices being poor in hotel. There is no free shuttle available, so taxi's are the only option

Fantastic location right on the beautiful beach

The Gambian people and staff at the hotel were one of the most friendliest I have ever known. The food (which I was worried about) was delicious and I loved the Gambian food but there was English in abundance. The accommodation (apartments) were located apart from each other so you had a lot of privacy, were spacious and cool if needed to be. The beach is long and very sandy for lovely walks. The spa treatments were very enjoyable and good value. Overall I just loved it all.

Relaxing location, with lovely grounds on beach

Very peaceful hotel situation in lovely grounds on the beach.Fantastic pool that was large enough to swim lengths.Lots of sunbeds to move where ever wanted & never on top of other guests.Rooms very comfortable,loved the fluffy dressing gowns for sitting on the balcony with a cuppa first thing.Kept.very clean daily.Had extra treat (R 7126)as could see monkeys playing nearby and Kingfishers landing just outside.Air con unit very noisy & not very effective.All staff exceptionally friendly,especially,our cleaner,gardener,Malick & Yaya in bar(who made me a special banana cocktail & made it cocktail of the week)Rhiana,Agnes,Lomin & the egg lady at breakfast,the pool guy,all the reception staff etc.Our only real gripe was the extremely slow service at dinner in the evening.The staff were always friendly,but not organised.It wasn't because they were busy either.There were several area's off the main area that were more inviting,but you got forgotten & then when you were noticed you had to wait ages for everything,which didn't make for a good experience.The white wine actually ran out of stock one evening!I'd read lots of similar reviews like this which is another reason we chose B&B.The senior management need to take notice of these reviews & solve the problem.Perhaps more staff training in organisational & time management skills.All in all though this didn't put us off the hotel. We had a fantastically relaxing stay & were looked after in every other aspect other than dinner.

Friendly staff, reasonable food, great location

We really enjoyed our stay. The security were good most the time but one male (security man) hassled us a bit and even got a bit demanding and asked for our iphone and money. The food was average, I wouldn't go full board as the restaurants in the area were amazing. Drinks are a bit pricy but beer is cheap enough. Staff in the bar, garden, cleaners, reception were really friendly. The hotel was full enough for me, I wouldn't want it busier. Rooms and grounds are clean. Location is fab, we didn't venture to the pool much and lounged outside our room right next to the sea. Info/tips: Everyone wants money! Get used to it. It's windy, I wish I'd taken another cardy for night time. A meal out will cost you £30-£40 for wine, starters, quality steak and an espresso. Go to 'the butchers shop' for dinner - excellent food Try scala restaurant also amazing

Good quiet location

The breakfast choice and management is barely 3*. If you can find milk for tea or cutlery or someone clearing tables you will have to wait a long time. There are so many basic little things they dont think about doing well. There is no urgency or attention to detail. The hotel is a long way from anything so you have to rely on the limited offerings at the hotel for food and entertainment. The whole place seems like a half hearted effort throughout. However, the location is quiet and the views are great.

nice hotel which needs a make-over

the hotel is quite nice and the view and beach just great. The hotel needs a clear improvement in the internet connection (very slow and they ask considerable fees for wireless use in the rooms). Internet connection in the lobby is free but mostly not very good. Air condition only exists in the rooms and I couldn`t control it in my room so it was cold all the time. The rest of the hotel is very hot. The location of the hotel is very calm..it takes about 15 min by taxi to get to the lively area with restaurants and bars. Off season the hotel is very quiet and a lovely place to stay for a view days. I had an allergic reaction after the facial treatment in the spa but the staff was very helpful to find out the products to show the doctor. Overall I really like the place with the fantastic view and the very friendly staff.

Dirty and run down

Our room was dirty with dusty lampshades and stained floor tiles. Housekeeping were not very thorough and the floors were still dusty even after they 'cleaned' the room. While the air conditioning was refreshing, it leaked when turned on for more than four hours and the bed linen had a lingering odour from previous guests. Room service was terrible. On one occassion we waited three hours for fresh milk before giving up entirely. Thankfully we enjoyed our time in The Gambia and the hotel staff were always friendly and very helpful. However, beware, not all is as it seems on the hotel website.

Superb location

For a relaxing get away from it all holiday the Sheraton Gambia is perfect. The staff are all extremely helpful and friendly from the hotel manager to the gardeners and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are kept clean and tidy the food is of an ok standard . Not much in the surrounding area a taxi is needed to travel about but if it's relaxation you want then that shouldn't be a problem. All in all a great destination.
