Coco Ocean is located in the Senegambia Area of Gambia - 30 minutes drive from Banjul/ 20 mins from the International Airport. One of the best hotels in The Gambia- lovely white Moroccan riad style structures, lovely Deco very classic hotel just by the beach. Perfect for a weekend getaway. Absolutely love the Spa Area - the Hammam Bath is really great and affordable. The only disappointment for me was the food, it appears that there has been a change in management and chefs- quality of the food is poor, advisable to go to the many restaurants in the Senegambia area The WiFi was surprisingly good.. All in All, coco Ocean remains one of my best hotels in West Africa, I love the quiet serene environment and the attention from the staff, Beware of the monkeys and mosquitos tho 😁 Also make sure your keep your valuables safe, DO NOT LEAVE MONEY IN YOUR ROOM.

Travel agency told that the one week stay would include a buffee breakfast. After all Coco Ocean hotel should be the fanciest hotel in Gambia. Instead there were very limited ala carte breakfast. Each day there where some shortage of the items on the menu, ie cold meats, fresh fruits, muffins. And what was the funniest thing one morning the waitress said that only two classes of juice are included. There were +34`C. Moreover the ordered foods were not even close to what they should have been. For example english muffing was round shape toast and continental breakfast included only bacon, potatoes and beans. Everything else was missing.
Bed sheets were worn out and there was pencil markings on them. Pictures below. It was not a 5star hotel for us. Only ***response / report this review -

Truly one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen or been on. Hotel room is quite comfortable although not very modern amenities (TV was not very clear), however most likely that won't be your number one reason for being there. Internet speeds are OK given that generally connectivity is not great in The Gambia. Pool was great too. Staff were very warm and friendly.
Room service menu was a bit limited with not too many options. That was a big disappointment for me. Also, if you are paying with your credit card they charge 3% surcharge and the connection was very unstable failing at least 5 times in my 2 week stay. In check out had to resort to paying in cash.response / report this review -

the coco ocean resort has the potential to be a great hotel to stay in but is very far from being a four or five star hotel. The quality of accommodation, service, food, excursions , cleanliness and general standards are inconsistent and vary according to who's dealing with it. I had a great meal in one of their restaurants one day and the next day the same meal was awful - their excuse was that 'it was a different chef'. the wild life excursion to Senegal, costing over £70, where you are driven around in an open top jeep for hours, only to end up seeing a few animals. when we complained we were told we were 'lucky' because some tourists had not seen any animals at all. I would like the hotel to do well but they have to pay attention to details and the complaints, of which there were many, and not just from my group. anyway, i have just got back and thought i get this off my chest

Oscar, the new chef from Spain, is perfect. He was generously taking shots with me and my friends. This place makes you feel like your in another country. Best food I've had in Gambia. Only challenger is Ngala.

I loved the room I stayed, good set up and environment is super clean. The spa staff are fantastic, I enjoyed the Moroccan bath, massage and the facial. I will definitely visit the place again when I am in Gambia.

Very enjoyable lunch and afternoon by the sea. Foil wrapped butter and absence of drink coasters rather detracted from an otherwise 5 star environment. Food and service excellent.

Coco Ocean is an amazingly beautiful, high class hotel right by the sea in the Gambia. I am lucky to be photographing weddings there for some really great Gambian, Sierra Leone and English brides and grooms. I particularly love the Royal Suite with its own private swimming pool and garden area. The food is great too. xx Elaine Reel Life Photos
