THE POOL AREA...

The pool area is a great place to relax, soak up the sun, cool off with a dip and is exclusively for the use of hotel guests. There is free wifi, a bar and you can enjoy lunch served at the poolside.

THE GARDENS...

Bird watching...

Enjoy the birdlife from early morning to late at night. The bird watching platform is an ideal place for following the changing tides and the different species that use the Kotu Stream Basin, and a great place from which to snap that special photograph!

​

The gardens and flora...

The botanical gardens have evolved over 40 years and feature a variety of mature native trees, both soft and hardwoods, and boast the largest collection of palms in The Gambia. We have an impressive collection of succulents and medicinal plants.

Various fruit trees provide food for the birds and animals.

Throughout the gardens there are nooks and crannies with interesting plants where you can relax in the shade and soak up the tropical atmosphere.

 

The gardens and fauna... 

All the birds and animals are wild and come and go as they please. During the day, monkeys amuse with their antics, jumping and squabbling. Please do not feed them. Our tortoises live amongst the bamboo and palms.

The elusive genet cat and bandicoots come out only at night with the owls. 

There are gold fish, terrapins, monitor lizards and frogs in the ponds.

 

The gardens and insects... 

Insecting and butterflying, fast becoming the new trend, is a rewarding hobby and easily pursued in the grounds of the hotel.

​

For those worried about mosquitos... don't. All the windows in the rooms are netted against mosquitos. Of course for those who are extra sensitive, personal mosquito spray is available in the supermarket as are regular spray and 'moon tiger' coils.
