Ive been here twice and absolutly love it. We went in december and it was easily the most relaxing holiday iv ever had. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. The beach at the end of the hotel is stunning. The rooms are very nice aswell. I would recommend this place to any couples looking for a relaxing holiday.

My wife and I stayed at the Dunes in March 2013. We've been to the Gambia several times, staying in large hotels, but this time we wanted something smaller. The Dunes has just 22 rooms, a lovely pool and garden area, and the staff and manager are really friendly. We went for a suite, which is twice the size of... More

Just arrived home from my second stay at The Dunes. Although the hotel is in need of a shape up, its a delightful little hotel. The staff gives you the best service possible, especially the bartender Karamo. The manager also makes sure that your stay in The Gambia is perfect, giving 100%effort to make you feel like home. I really... More

Another fantastic visit to The Gambia and a stay at Dunes Resort. We last visited in November and there have been some noticeable improvements. The staff are, as always, polite and very conscientious. Kabba, the manager, does whatever he can to ensure guests are as happy as possible. Food in the hotel is great. Juice bar on beach does a...

As other reviewers have said, this hotel is looking very tired now verging on a bit shabby. If you like your bright modern decor, fast internet and big fluffy white towels then you will be disappointed. HOWEVER, if you accept that you are coming to Africa, and realise that money, washing machines and other such luxuries are not as readily... More
