“The Smiling Coast of The Gambia!”

written by RodneyWS on 02/01/2014

It was my first time to The Gambia and first time travelling with Olympic Holidays. I actually thought that Olympic only sold holidays in Greece so it was a pleasant surprise to see Gambia and Goa on your website. The price I paid for 2 weeks HB was better than any other UK Tour Operator Offers. I stayed at Badala Park and was a solo traveller. I was a little cautious when arriving to the Hotel as I had read the reviews online and it was for sure very mixed. I have to say at the hotel I had a very lovely and great stay. Yes the hotel is simple and basic but it's a 2 star in The Gambia so you get what you pay for. I had a quiet, clean room, fan and hot water and one of the best reasons for such a great holiday was the staff as soon as I arrived I felt welcomed and being a solo traveller sometimes you can feel a bit of a spare part but this was not the case. The New Manager Jaga was fantastic and was always around for a chat. The trainees in the hotel were so friendly and helpful and the food at breakfast and for my evening HB meal were always of a good standard. Always something to eat. The pool area is were I usually hung out and occasional went to the beach. Yes there are bumsters everywhere in resort but as long as your confident telling them no and sure no interest your left alone and a tip is to walk in the sea as they don't come close. I went to the strip most nights which is a short drive away in a taxi, lots to do either for food or drink. Kotu is also a lovely little area and I recommend Ninka Nanka beach bar and restaurant great food and service. Finally The Olympic Holiday Rep.... She really is an asset to Olympic Holidays. So experienced and this shows in the service she gave me as a guest. She was very friendly and made you feel welcomed at all times and she was very informative about the hotel and resort and offered some great excursions, my favourite was the home cooking with Ida. Thank You for a great holiday and for sure I will travel with Olympic Holidays again!! I'm already looking at Goa for next winter!
