Even though This hotel needs updating and the power cuts happened every now and then, the Breakfast is basic, but nice: bread, jam, watermelon, papaya, porridge, cheese, scrambled eggs... The staff is always very helpful, kind and polite and everybody knows everyone by name. The chefs are great! Pull area's nice, even though the swimmingpool's small. The beach is nice... More

Having booked 11 nights at The Holiday Beach Club - review to follow, but buyer beware! - we transfered ourselves to the wonderfull Dunes at our own cost after 4 Days. The Dunes is an hotel with only 22 rooms, somewhat akin to a grand old duchess- seen better days but still full of charm and character. The location is... More

Stayed for one week, plenty of staff who were very helpful just needs a bit of TLC ,good location for beach, usual power cuts got used to them, great country to visit, fantastic people. So nice not dress up all the time for meals. Weather was fantastic

Mum and I just returned from 10days here. 4th time at the Dunes. I have to agree with previous review, this hotel needs updating now.

Our third visit to the Gambia was greatly enhanced by our stay at The Dunes Resort & Casino, in Kololi. This small 20 room hotel may lack some evening entertainment, but makes up for it with an above average Gambian welcome and friendliness. Its possible to rent a suit on the first floor or rooms on the ground floor, all... More

ideal for a relaxing holiday - spent all the days at the beach bar at the end of the garden. A few minor problems with the room which were reported but not sorted - more cheap and cheerful than comfortable - poor or no entertainment - would not recommend

Just come back from 10 night holiday in the Dunes Resort in Gambia. This was the first time in Gambia and we did not know what to expect. The culture is certainly different to ours and there is certainly alot of poverty. However we found the Gambian people very laid back and friendly with few exceptions. The hotel itself was... More
