“This resort functions well as a convenient stopover near the airport with its complimentary shuttle. While perhaps not suited for extended holidays due to its distance from the beach and smaller pool, the on-site restaurant serves enjoyable Gambian cuisine. For business travellers, note that Wi-Fi access may be unreliable.”
