Staying here was all about relaxing by the beach and enjoying the beautiful sea view from my room. The spacious King Room with Sea View was a highlight, offering a lovely spot to unwind on the terrace while listening to the ocean waves. I especially enjoyed the easy access to the beach, which was just a short walk away, and the well-maintained pool area added to the relaxation vibe. I appreciated the rich breakfast options to start my days right. It made my time in Kololi truly memorable.

Relaxing getaway in Kololi 🌴

Waking up to ocean waves was a dream! My room had a lovely sea view, aircon worked like a charm, and the pool area was flippin' great. Breakfast by the beach in the morning sun was a lekker vibe, and the chill atmosphere made it awesome to unwind.

WiFi was a bit weak, so streaming was a hassle.

Breezy beachfront but food lacking

Woke up to ocean waves crashing, and enjoyed the spacious room with a lovely view. The staff's friendly demeanor made our first Gambia experience memorable, especially during sunset by the beach.

The food options were repetitive and overpriced compared to local dining. The breakfast selection was bland, and evening meals left much to be desired in terms of variety.

It was just a prime choice for a relaxing holiday in Kololi with good value for cost. Our cleaner, Marie, was wonderful, quickly supplying us with a mosquito net when ours went for washing. Bring your own snacks to avoid the repetitive menu.

Request a room away from the security hut for a quieter stay, as noise can be disruptive at night.

The King Room with Sea View was a spacious choice with a lovely view, perfect for soaking in the ocean vibes. The pool area was well-maintained and a solid spot for relaxation.

The shower pressure was inconsistent, leading to longer shower times, and water shortages were an issue later in the day. there was no telephone in our room—being in such a large place without a way to directly reach help felt unsettling. the food was priced higher than you'd find outside, which snagged a bit of the relaxation vibe when dining in. To top it off, the curtains didn't block outside visibility well enough, so adjustments are needed there.

The Balafon Beach Resort has lovely large rooms with direct access to pools, perfect for families. The restaurant offers decent food, and the staff's friendliness made the experience enjoyable, although it could improve on cleanliness and management regarding staff behaviors.

I appreciated the wonderful service from the staff. they were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. The beach location was beautiful, providing easy access to lovely sunbeds and a charming vibe.

Facilities need maintenance.

The King Room with Sea View was spacious, but definitely not as shiny as the photos. It had basic amenities, which was a bit disappointing. There was a nice view, but I expected more since it's marketed as a beachfront resort. The air conditioning was crucial, but we had a bit of a hassle figuring it out initially. it was decent but felt a little lacking in that luxury vibe I'd hoped for.

would definitely go again.

Had a nice time in my King Room with Sea View. Air conditioning worked great. The room had a private bathroom and a refrigerator. Enjoyed relaxing on my terrace with a view. The safety deposit box kept my things secure. Spa facilities were a nice touch too. Felt completely comfortable and at ease.
