The standard was quite low. No Refigerators in the rooms, no water was provided.the TV didn’t work and after 2 days one channel only. WiFi was dismal even in the lobby Was asked to pay for late checkout even though I got in at three am Breakfast did not have any Gambian food and omelettes were only with onions and nothing else

Nice hotel on the beach. Real value for money
Nice, clean and unassuming hotel on the beach. Well appointed rooms. Very good entertainment, pool and food. Excellent and welcoming staff. Real value for money. Part of the access road could be better but will recommend hotel anytime.

Location good for my needs
Good value for money and a great location for a bird watcher or those who like a quiet beach. Breakfasts were unexciting; staff friendly; some areas shabby but clean. I found the entertainment intrusive but others liked the activities and it was easy to get away. I preferred to eat just down the beach at the Konta Kinte

Nice hotel with some issues
Had a nice stay at Palm Beach despite ongoing issues with water going off all the time (room A76). Very annoying when you're trying to have a shower! We also found it very difficult to get a sun lounger around the pool so spent most of our time at the beach. Otherwise, as described. Staff very friendly and room was clean but basic. Due to the issues with the water, I would not stay at the hotel again.

2/10 Poor

Tired hotel lacking facilities
This is a run down hotel in an indifferent location. While the staff were friendly and the restaurant/ breakfast was OK, the service provided by the hotel is short of acceptable. The room was grubby and in desperate need of a spring clean/ refurbishment. There was a single towel (a second reluctantly given) and a small tablet of soap, but absolutely nothing else in the room (no toiletries, phone, hair dryer, glasses, information, etc.). Also expect to pay extra for a fridge (about £25 per week and about £20 a week to use the hotel safe). The rooms have air conditioning, but the hotel will try to charge extra to have it connected (around £35 per week). Mosquito nets are available if you ask. The wifi in the pool and reception areas (none in the rooms) seems to work reasonably well. I was there for three nights only, but would not recommend a longer stay. Like a number of other reviewers, I too had trouble with the lock on my room (which was replaced). Fortunately, security does not seem to be an issue in the area.

The hotel was okay for what we paid. Quite basic and a small pool for the size of the hotel.

2/10 Poor

A nightmare.
I booked a room with airconditioning, minibar and daily housekeeping. But I got a room without airconditioning, without minibar and I didn't automatically get a clean towel daily. The first day there was no hot water, only a cold shower in this so-called three star hotel. There was not any mosquito protection in the room. The room was awfully hot, it was impossible to sleep. The doorlock was broken and difficult to unlock. The reception was totally uncapable, they couldn't care less, made up nonsense, denied all responsibility and refused to do anything. There is no shop anywhere near the hotel. Water must be bought in the hotel for 1,70 euro each bottle! The hotelshopkeeper clearly abuses his monopoly in a shameful way. The hotel is on the beach in the middle of nowhere in a tourist ghetto. Around the hotel it is full of parasite people that bother you all the time. You must take a taxi and haggle about prices any time you want to leave the hotel or need something.

Good overnight stop
Stayed twice for a single night when I needed a stopover to/from the north. Clean, comfortable, well-positioned, friendly staff. Food was OK. However I found the evening entertainment (first night cultural show; second night karaoke) intrusive as I wanted something more peaceful. Easy access to the beach and beach bar, plus less hassle than you get elsewhere once on the beach, made this a good overnight stop. I might find it a bit restrictive for a long stay.

Basic but nice
Nice Hotel considering its 2 star status, close to the beach which is nice and they spray the rooms with bug spray which is good! Hotel is basic but nice, overall good value for money but don't expect luxury because you won't get it, you can't beat it for Value in Gambia though.

palm beach hotel......your joking
our original room did not have air con so it cost us £70 each to upgrade for the remaining 13 nights..the area around the pool was beautiful bt the water in the pool itself was below standard due to the fact the filters were NEVER turned on.the food bar and service around the pool was very good. the pool sun beds are a joke as is the breakfast inside the restaurant . its self service and the food is left uncovered with flies all over the place. having said all that you cant really grumble for £300 a week. its not a place I would go on my honeymoon but its spot on if you don't mind roughing it. lots and lots of the guests go back there time and time again.
