Leo's Beach Hotel

Rooms: 6 bedrooms Swimming Pool ✔
En-suite ✔ A/C ✔ Bar & Restaurant ✔
Free Wi-Fi ✔  
Review: Leo's is an avant-garde, beautifully simplistic structure within The Gambia's coastal hospitality sector - you could be forgiven for thinking you were in Miami! It's a well thought out accommodation block of 5 double bedrooms and 1 suite with 2 guest bedrooms and all with ocean facing sea views from private verandas. All have air-conditioning, wireless broadband internet connection, a private shower, flush toilet, sink, satellite TV, ceiling fan, veranda, sea views, minibar and security safe. There is an elegant, stylish drinks bar where you can mingle with other guests and entertain friends.

In case of power failure the building has a back-up generator and it utilizes solar panels to produce the running hot water for the bathrooms and the diner's kitchen. Water is not a problem either as Leo's has its own borehole and is connected to the mains supply. *Airport transfers.

Location: Mandina River tributary, Makasutu Culture Forest

Built in amongst the mangroves and tropical forest it literally does give you a feeling of being close to nature. So close in fact that you may occasionally spot the odd Colobus or Vervet monkey nearby. The whole of this luxury accommodation is set within its own private land of riverine, mangrove creek, savanna, palm and hardwood-forest, and salt-flat eco-systems covering 1,000 acres.
