The Gambian Experience courtesy of The Lambrada Hotel was one of the best holidays our party of 5 females have ever encountered. Although The hotel is in need of some serious TLC I hope that the new management will invest as it has huge potential being directly located on a wonderful sandy beach which stretches for miles and all rooms have sea views. We hope Per Kvist the General Manager will see money spent on updates will be a wise investment. He was there to be seen and focused on things running smoothly and had both a good rapport with clients and staff alike. The staff at The Lambrada were efficient and gave service with a smile. (Tipping goes a long way but they deserve it). James in the restaurant gave exceptional service and looked after us very well. He always went the extra mile. Agnes always greeted us with her lovely smile. There are plenty of beds on the beach and they will prepare them for you. Towels are usually changed of an evening and not in the morning. The trips we chose were some of the best I have ever been on and what a way to discover the real Gambia. We went on the Roots trip. Which was good if you know of Alex Haley and the story behind it. But by far our best trips were the 6 in 1 which we did as a group of 5 in a land rover with Yusufpha ( you really couldn’t have a better guide) and the Lazy day where we paid the extra ( not much more ) and hired a boat down the river. Absolutely idyllic and a perfect way to end the holiday. We were treated like royalty and a few bottles of fizz goes a long way not forgetting our coffee and brandy to welcome us aboard. I would also recommend the Spa a perfect place to chill out and one of the best massages we have ever had. My friend would like to mention Sandra in dispatches who gave her a massage but also rose to the challenge in washing and drying her hair. Evening entertainment al fresco was varied and highly entertaining. I would highly recommend The Gambia as a destination for a holiday and particularly the Lambrada Hotel.

First holiday with saga and I was,nt dissoppointed and due to our rep Andy taking the time to show his guests local sights as a solo traveller I had plenty of company for the two weeks with a great bunch of people. The hotel itself is in a great location, there were a lot of complaints about the rubbish on the beach but they seem to have taken that on board and clean it daily. My room was kept clean and was very comfortable with a nice sea view. Good entertainment, brilliant friendly staff. Fully recommend a massage at the spa to get rid of all the aches and pains a big thank you to Amie. The food needs to be improved I,m sure the chefs do the best with what is supplied but it did get a bit repetitive I would have liked and expected a bit of seafood. I found the local drinks ok and never had to wait to long thanks to the hard working staff. Would certainly think about returning at some point.
