Well were to start the flight out to Gambia was ok but nothing special we arrived at the airport in Gambia (porters very good and polite always carry a few pound coins to give them) to be met by the Gambia experience rep who took us out to our taxi which was driven by a guy called Yoro Bah what...

After returning home almost 6 weeks ago.....the Hotel has only just replied with a short e-mail saying that it is not being held responsible for a break-in which we endured on the 12th January...whilst sleeping. We lost several valuable possessions....including two cameras, two telephones , money , and medications as well as other personal belongings. However....the Hotel did put us... More

Firstly you have to remember that this is a 3rd world country and the standards can not be compared to western standards. There is no question that the staff try their very best and there's certainly enough of them working in the resort but they frequently make errors. My husband asked for grapefruit juice and he got pineapple. We asked... More

Having been home for 6 weeks I am still raving about this wonderful hotel to friends. The Coco Ocean came highly recommended by many friends and I can't imagine why it has taken us so long to go there. The Gambian experience were highly efficient at booking stage and indeed in The Gambia. After a 6 hour flight and no... More

This being my first written review,and after 20 years of travelling all over the world,I have to say our stay at the Coco Ocean Resort and Spa, Bijilo (9th - 24th January 2013)....to be by far our WORST experience ever !!! Having read so many reviews of the Hotel and it's lack of Guest Security,I feel that I also have... More

There is a first time for everything including a trip to Gambia, but it will definitely not be the last! We left London at 0900 (2 degrees) and we were on a quiet beach (28 degrees) by 1700. The journey was completely hassle free and at the end of it a wonerful hotel, an oasis in Gambia. The staff could... More

Hotel has to be seen to be believed, built in a kind of colonial style, buildings well-maintained, lots of visually stunning aspects and perfect sea views, fantastic beach frontage. Staff service can be slow and lacking in warmth and friendliness, at other times great, but lacks consistency suggesting some lack of training and motivation. Servicing of our (fantastic) beach club... More

The hotel is a sprawling complex with numerous rooms and cottages. The central building contains the reception area and has some small shops. It is the best place in the complex to receive the free WiFi, but it is painfully slow by European standards. There is a spa building with various beauty treatment options. It appears to be be of...

My wife and I stayed at this very affordable hotel for our honeymoon in July 2011. Honestly, we couldn't have asked for anything better. From the moment we arrived till we left, the service was excellent! We tried out the neighbouring Sheraton Hotels for comparison and we barely survived the night there as we hurriedly asked the tour company we... More
