    Good Points: Perfect location, not close the resorts packed with loud bars, cheesy restaurants and full of tourist that have not much interest for the real Gambia at all.
    Great beach
    Wonderful staff, especially the manager.


    Bad Points: No bank in the area so it was difficult to get money from an atm. Which proved to be a big difficulty as they did not work properly public transport is very full, but once you know your way around it, no problem.


    General comments: After a long period of hard work we needed a break and good relax, this we found at the Gunjur Beach Lodge.
    Lovely setting, great staff and peace and tranquility.

    Ok sometimes one of the locals wanted to talk to you but that did not bother us as most of the time we just had the time and space to ourselves. Exploring the area was a real eye opener as we saw the day to day life in the villages, got a peek in some compounds and sat in the local school with the pupils.

    What we also liked about the lodge was the warm hospitality, the staff are very helpful lead by their managers. Anything we asked for was possible and they are very flexible. Food was good, not a big choice but always fresh and well cooked.
    The breakfast was far better then we had expected based on previous experiences in similar lodges in other countries.
    One other highlight was a boat trip we took on board the Mam Boye C. We cruised through the creeks of the River Gambia on this luxury boat. The food was out of this world.
    All in all a great holiday, one to repeat (which we usually never do) and we are making plans to return next year

    We found this gem whilst preparing our holiday on the internet. The contact was made, and after a few doubts we decided to book the holiday. And we did not regret it at all. Upon arrival at Gunjur Beach Lodge in The Gambia we were collected from the airport, and after a 30 minute drive through villages and the rural areas we reached the fishing village of Gunjur in the south of The Gambia where the lodge is located.

    Spot on the beach. A very friendly welcome by the Dutch manager and her team ...
