Getting there
Somewhat walkable
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
This was the second time I had the opportunity to spend few days at Seafront.
Booked with friends as they had an offer ongoing. I took a 2 bedroom as I went with my eldest daughter.
The hotel grounds are very well maintained and our apartment was very clean, spacious and kitchen well equipped. The master bed room had a large bathroom with bathtub and shower. The second had a standard walk in shower.
Staff are very helpful and I cannot wait to do more. I had a very good time and will surely Be back.

What hospitality! Great food in the restaurant and all very helpful. Breakfast nice in the room order. Very spacious rooms, kitchen and toilet. Nice pool with sun loungers or just to the beach (very close) Where you can get a nice coconut or order a drink. Pay everything later in one go at the reception with your Visa. By the way, ATM machine is located near street to the main road right at the gas station. Small shop at reception or just a 10 min walk. (dining out is cheaper than doing it yourself) Near the reception is a tour guide which showed us beautiful places and which has a lot to say, very good! Gambia what an experience!

20th time in Gambia. First time in this hotel and it was certainly not disappointing. An excellent hotel. Well maintained by African standards. Free air conditioning in the bedroom. Free large fridge freezer and free safe. Very friendly and service minded staff. Excellent apartment with shower/bath with nice hot water. There is no stove in the kitchen, but it can be installed on request. However, this is unnecessary, as the restaurant has an excellent kitchen with sufficient variety, Gambian, Indian, Italian and Chinese dishes for a fair price. Around euro 15 pp incl. drinks. Breakfast included, choice of continental, English and American breakfast. Lovely large swimming pool with sunbeds and thick mattresses plus towels. Quiet hotel. You can experience the hustle and bustle yourself in the Senegambia district.

We Stayed at Seafront residence for 2 weeks and enjoyed every minute, it was nice and very relaxing, The accommodation was large 2 bed 2 bath large lounge and kitchen areas and balcony. The monkeys visited us at our balcony it was awesome! The accommodation is extremely clean. The Beds are so comfortable The gardens and grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. Lovely pool area with nice surroundings. All staff are professional and very friendly, polite and helpful and ensured we had a pleasant stay. The hotel is close to the beautiful beach and at the outdoor restaurant we were able to sit and see the sea, listen to the calming sea waves and feel the refreshing sea breeze while we ate. The Hotel is close to the Senegambia night life with many bars , restaurants and night clubs. Also close to the airport and central to most tourist attractions. We were easily able to visit the Snake Sanctuary, Crocodilr park, Makasutu, Tanji fish Market, Serrukunda, Market, Kunta Kenta island and more. We stayed bed and breakfast, they was a good selection of English and Continental menu, we ate at the restaurant, ordered room service we had great tasting food! Seafront is a hidden Gem and I would highly recommend you stay here when visiting The Gambia. This will most certainly be where we will be staying when visiting The Gambia again.

Very good experience. Apartments and rooms are very spacious and clean. Place was quiet and very secure .
Definitely made the right choice staying here. There are all your hotel amenities on site i.e a restaurant , mini-market , fitness room and pool. I always prefer apartments as hotel rooms are usually too small for me when I'm travelling for more than a week.
My new home away from home.

You can feel the influence of local management here, with delays in service and a slightly chaotic ambience. However, the Loction is great, the pool is a good size and although the rooms are not 5 star, they are perfectly adequate for most European travellers. Food was generally excellent. Overall good value for money and thankfully away from the awful package tour hotel areas with their generic ashtray and chips restaurants.

Wonderful stay during the Christmas holidays and staff were amazing with the kids. Christmas Eve menu was wonderful and new years fireworks on the beach superb. Will be back again and again to this wonderful little gem
Thank you to all the wonderful staff that showed us ‘tapalapa’. Whilst on our bike rides to Senegambia.

Beware. A disapointing experience. Bad reception skills. Bad breakfast. LONG waiting times in restaurant and for breakfast. Our names not "known" at arrival. A lot of things broken or dirty in the appartments. Wall view instead of a promised gardenview.

Wonderful stay in a relaxed environment. Stayed at this Aparthotel for a month as I needed a secure place with all services in place whilst on business. This ticked all the boxes for me.
Will definitely stay here for another business trip in The Gambia.

Hi, there is a very good restaurant within Seafront Residences which also provides room-service, we didn’t want to be committed to the hotel so had ‘lodgings’ only and there are plenty of other restaurants nearby. Just a 5 minute walk (to the right) along the beach there is ‘Roots’ an excellent restaurant with good prices. Other hotels/restaurants are further along the beach, but a little pricier. To the left of the hotel you can walk along the beach and find smaller places to eat with nice prices and great places to meet the locals; we particularly liked ‘The Dolphin Bar’. You can also find plenty of restaurants via the road which is just 5 minutes away, but it’s not such a pleasant walk and I wouldn’t recommend it.
A short taxi ride away (plenty of taxis are right outside the hotel but negotiate the price before you leave) is Senegambia (aka The Strip), a busy place full of various restaurants, nightclubs and... tourists, too busy for my liking, but maybe that’s your thing. As for Shisha bars, I think it’s used just about everywhere if you want it, including the Seafront Residences/Hotel. Enjoy!
Tourist taxis just outside the hotel will cost D200 for a one-way trip and D300 return trip to the Senegambia strip.
Yellow taxis up the road (a 1 minute walk from hotel) cost D100 one-way or even less depending on how much you can haggle.
Note: €1 = D56.13
Hello Sarah,
We usually have live entertainment couple of times a week during the tourist season (Nov to March).
However due to the political impasse in the Gambia during this January 2017, our bookings fell drastically so the entertainment nights were cancelled.
Everything should return back to normal this tourist season.
Have a good day!
Nanou
