Myself and my husband enjoyed our stay at Tamala hotel. We were there for 2 weeks. Initially we had issues with our room, but this was sorted fairly swiftly and were given a room in better condition. All the staff were very approachable and helpful - particularly Babou, the housekeeper Musa Ceesay and Babucarr. Entertainment was great and happened regularly.

The hotel has really fallen into ruin which is a shame. The rooms are in dire need of getting a makeover. Half the rooms were closed undergoing renovation so I’m curious to return to see how much it has improved. Regardless, in the current condition it’s in, it’s priced far too high. The other downside was also that the beach is not private so there’s a lot of people and the beach is also in poor condition with plastics that aren’t cleaned in front of the rooms. I did love the food and the staff were great.

14 days stay

I went here for the second time. This round i had 14nights. Had some problems in the beginning with cleaning off room. But when i took it up with management they turned it around and made sure the rest off the stay was without anything to complain about. The staff, kitchen, waiters, security and rest is doing a fantastic job to make you feel welcomed and without anything. Good location, good food and nice place overall. Had the room with view over the sea. Recommended to stay there.

Service for issues was slow, took 4 days to connect tv and there was only one reastraunt to choose from for meals. I stayed 10 days and the menu got boring by day 5. However, brunch on sunday was fabulous and barbque nights on friday and sat was good too. Allthough it was a seperate charge and we where not made aware of the options, by staff had to figure it out so missed out on the seperate menu. I think the staff should could do a better job at keeping customers aware of events when staying. All in all a good price and a comfortable stay

The staff were very polite and helpful and the cleaning of the room was of a good standard the food was average as i thought more variety would not go amiss . The only complaint i have is that i booked my rooms in advance and putting in the notes that they should be next door to each other that service i did not received and we were given rooms away from each other. As a group booking the hotel should accommodate more by putting group bookings next door to each other if requested

What a Wonderful B-day Trip at Tamala Resort! Any issues that came up the staff was ready and willing to remedy. Lots of smiling faces ready to make your stay both pleasurable and memorable. My only complaint is that the rooms have no amenities and could be updated. With that information I believe your choice would still be a great one!

I love that it was entertainment after dinner. The staff was very friendly. The cleanliness of the room was not good, very dusty, had to request housekeeping for cleanliness my first day there and the shower was always cold. The pricing is overated. When its all inclusive I thought it was everything included. I was charged 600 dalasi for ice cream (room service).

The property looks nice in pictures and some parts are nice - like the dining areas and pool area. However, the rooms are not even close to 4 stars. The linens are stained or dirty. Our sheets always had marks on them and the towels as well, when you could get them. There seems to be a problem with laundry. Had to keep sliders closed because there were no screens so it was impossible to relax and listen to the ocean and bugs were let in when you opened the door. Everyday we found big old cockroaches in our room- gross! The positive is that for the most part employees were very nice.

Unique: proximity and view of the Ocean. The landscape. The pictures are true Good WiFi , back up generator really handy as we had frequent power outages (NAWEC still haven’t got their sh*t together. Business suffering as a result.) Staff is amazing. Quick check in process, actually had us in our rooms before checking time as we arrived early from a long tiresome flight. The rooms are spacious but not sure what happened with the doors, wall paint - poor workmanship I guess. Definitely not meeting the standards of a hotel of this class and price. Great stay overall
