General Comments

Holiday beach club is set in an enviable position at the quieter side of senegambia. First impressions are good with colourful well tended tropical gardens and nice looking terraces of whitewashed single storey accomodation buildings. Freindly smiling helpful staff soon had us moved into our room, what a let down, away from the main complex in a garden annexe, A and B blocks are two storey blocks with a terrace or balcony, and although clean they are quite run down in terms of fixtures and fittings and do not have much of a view. Our first night there we eat at ali baba's on the strip and then crashed out after a long days travel. Next morning woke refreshed and hungry, next let down - breakfast. Bread, cheese, bananas, cold meat, tea and coffee, thats it, not good, oh well this is 2 star Africa.
A walk down to the beach through lovely gardens and past a good sized well kept pool brings you out onto the Kololi beach, a vast stretch of sand running in both directions with plenty of beach bars to choose from. We stayed here for two weeks in April and the area was quiet, with a few bars closing for the 'off ' season. There was however plenty to do out and about, the day trip to Senegal with ARCH tours was very good as was a lazy day on the river Gambia onboard a large well equipped pirogue.
I would reccomend Kololi holiday beach club hotel to anyone who is looking for a base from which to explore the surrounding area, it is child friendly and generaly well run. It would also be ideal for a poolside holiday although food and drink prices were quite high.
