Sadly our planned holiday to stay at this hotel in March 2013 was ruined by our travel company informing us only 11 days prior to our holiday that we could no longer stay in one of the Bungalows at this hotel and that we would have to stay at the Djeliba Hotel instead. Our tour operator seemed to think that... More

We have been to the Gambia many times staying in various hotels. We chose the Sunswing for it's location on the beach and it did not disappoint. The beach itself is not corroded like some in the Gambia and the addition of double beds complete with optional sail for shade is wonderful! Waiters bring you drinks if you want them... More

I've been to The Gambia 11 times now and this was the 5th time we had stayed at this hotel. We've both loved it before because of it's location, the excellent accommodation (we've stayed in a bangalow on all of our previous 4 visits) and how peaceful it has always been. Well not anymore. On arrival (an hour and a... More

Upon arrival the bungalow was filthy, with leftovers from the previous guest. Went to the reception to ask for another one and everybody looked strange at me. It were busy times and they promised to get it ready within the hour. A cleaning lady appeared after some time and made all fine. Afterwrads we found out we had the biggest... More

We arrived at The Sunswing on 16th February after the Thomas Cook flight whichwas ok.The hotel itself needs some cosmetic attention we had a downstairs room which was fine apart from shortage of hanging space and shelving in the bathroom which was not really that important.The fault with our room was that we were in 1020 right next to the...

The hotel we booked, Sunswing is basic & in need of some updating but we were very happy as we found a good deal with Thomas Cook, £700 B&B per person for 14 nights including flights | transfers. We were disappointed not to have a balcony | outside seating, Thomas Cook arranged a £174 refund for this without us even... More

This property is a little tired, however it didn't hamper our holiday. The staff and facilities were brilliant. It's right on the beach and the service is second to none, with loads of staff to cater for your needs. The bar and restaurant are right on the beach. Drinks wer compatible to home. But we went next door to Poco... More
