“The largest pool in Gambia anchors the property, and families gravitate here; the tropical gardens offer a quiet respite. Its beachside location and free breakfast add to the appeal, yet I think a little more effort to evening entertainment would elevate the guest experience. Overall, a solid choice for a relaxed holiday in Kotu.”
