Review:
The
African Village Hotel
is a budget priced tourist
hotel which began life as
a nightspot
called Club 98. It was
converted in 1974 into 28
rooms, increased to 43 in
1975 and rebuilt in 1979.
It now has just over 70
rooms for tourists set in
what is aimed to be in the
style of a village with mod
cons in the Bakau resort of
The Gambia.
As you
enter the small, bustling
complex there is an 85
metre walk which leads you
past a mini-market and
sleeping
blocks to the swimming
pool which is the centre
piece of the
accommodation. Resembling
more of a shallow moat it
has a man-made island in
the centre upon which the
thatched bar is built
around a coconut palm.
The gardened main walkway
continues between offices
and an entertainment area
and directly through the
shaded, airy Atlantic
Restaurant. From its
pathway, steps drop down
to the artificial beach
which is a rectangle of
sand on pillars above the
rocky cliff of Bakau
mostly suited for
sunbathing.
The
standard accommodation is compact
and simply furnished. Most
are low or round huts,
with thin twin mattresses
on concrete plinths. Sea
view accommodation and
smaller units are
available without a local
supplement.
Available board bases
as Bed and Breakfast or
Half Board. All
supplements and
upgrades are per person
per night, based on twin
occupancy.
For
families looking for types
of
budget accommodation, the
African Village Hotel is a
cheap hotel in Gambia with
modest facilities.
