delicious chicken yassa

slow wifi

A chill spot in Banjul 🇬🇲

The staff were super friendly and the chill vibe around the pool was lovely. I really enjoyed the chicken Yassa for dinner, it was truly lekker. Plus, having the airport shuttle was a lifesaver after a long flight!

The WiFi was not great and pretty slow at times.

spotty wifi

water issues

I had a spacious standard single room with a comfy bed and a nice view of the garden. The decor was pleasant, making it feel cozy. It was clean, which was great, but the water didn’t work for a bit, and the WiFi was spotty. Still, I enjoyed my stay overall.
