We went with Thomas Cook to the Kairaba from 11-Jan-2012 to 25-Jan-2012. We had a standard room 1521 in the block near to the reception. It was perfectly adequate but not as nicely situated as the garden rooms. The balcony was small with a table and 2 chairs that nearly filled it. There was a drying rack fixed to the... More

We had problems with our room this time as the hotel was overbooked but we room chenge and were satisfied, I wouldn't recommend booking a standard room, see gambia experience website for more details. We really like this hotel as quite homely, we don't normally revisit old haunts but this is the exception, I belive 60% of guests hace been... More

Never disappoints us this place. This year we had superior deluxe room and it was virtually on the beach we could sleep listening to the sea crashing on the shore. It is heaven. Staff lovely especially maryama in Havanna Bar and our room boy Faks. Worth every penny. More

How many stars it merits is irrelevant. It is worth staying there for the gardens, the birds, and the monkeys. The staff are lovely, and go out of their way to make your holiday a pleasure. Most guests are (multiple) returnees which must say something! There are younger guests and even children, but the average age is a good bit... More

We loved the Kairaba for many reasons: delightful staff who were always ready with a pleasant greeting; three top quality reasonably priced restaurants; large well-kept grounds with bougainvillea, huge trees, beautiful birds, even monkeys; oh, and the most comfortable beach sunbeds ever. We upgraded to a deluxe room which we deemed well worth the extra cost as it had a... More

If you want a quiet hotel on the strip, then the kairaba is highly recommended. I stayed here for 1 week and I can't fault the staff as they were very helpful. Breakfast had a wide range to cater for all tastes, they even had bacon. For a small charge, you can even have the breakfast brought to your room.... More

Just returned from the Kairaba hotel on the 17th of January and we had a fabulous time. Our standard room was good, even though we should have asked for an upgrade which was our fault. The staff were fantatstic. The pool was super and the beer even better! Try the gin fizz- wow! Can't wait to go back. Need I... More

The hotel grounds were beautiful, well kept and vast. The beach was lquite nice but forget about snorkelling for two reasons: it didn't seem like a type of waters where you can see a lot and the ocean in the Gambia is might be rough and dangerous. That also means that you might not be able to swim sometimes -... More
