Terri76's Review of Cape Point, Cape Point Hotel Gambia

Good Points

The weather was fantastic, the food was varied. You just go to the Senegambia strip and the choices are abundant. You can get a green taxi to take you there and stay for 2 hours and take you back for ten pounds, depends where you're coming from of course. The people are so friendly and the service is second to none.


Bad Points

The bumsters. They are difficult to get rid of and sometimes you have to be very rude to them before they get the message. Don't tell them you've never been there before or they'll never leave you alone. Tell them you know where you're going. There is one man there who has a dodgy eye, he is the best con man in all of Gambia. Beware of him, he's very clever. He pretends he works at your hotel. He told us he'd just got married and then fleeced us. Also, be careful with the Malaria tablets. If you have sensitive skin, don't skimp. Take the more expensive tablets, it'll be worth it in the end. The cheaper ones make your skin sensitive to the sun and could ruin a fabulous experience.


General Comments

Overall, the experience was amazing. We went on a trip round the local schools and towns and it was fabulous. The Gambia is not called the smiling coast for nothing. If you go to the back streets, the people are friendly and generally leave you alone. The children were amazing. They just want bottles to put palm wine etc in and sell. They were brilliant. The Ocean Bay hotel was very clean and well maintained. Occasional power outages but it's The Gambia, you can't have everything. If you get the chance to go, go!
