Quick Reviews:

Coco Ocean Resort
Compared to the cost of
honeymoon suites in other
countries the luxury
Coco Ocean Resort, on
Bijilo
beach offers a much cheaper
alternative for couples visiting
Gambia. They offer the choice of
standard suites to beach facing
villas and honeymooners who book
a bridal suite with the Gambia Experience also
receive flowers, Champagne in
the room on arrival as well as a
private, romantic dinner on the
beach.
This
retreat deftly blends a variety
of styles – i.e. a minimalist
decor, colonial influences with
Moorish elegance. These include
arches, domes, and courtyards
sprinkled with swaying palms,
complement perfectly with the
simple style and elegant
furnishings of the hotel.
The spacious retreat exudes a
meditative tranquillity with its
extensive courtyard garden, with
fountains and panoramic views of
the Atlantic Ocean, is circled
in bougainvillea and tropical
palm trees.
Being a spa of course means
people on
honeymoons will be offered plenty of body
treatments including massages,
facials as well as a Hammam
sauna and scrub while their
boutiques offer a large range of
beauty products.
Ngala Lodge
This
boutique hotel is set on a
Fajara beach overlooking the
sea. It is in fact a converted
imperial mansion has
individually designed suites to
satisfy almost all tastes. All
rooms are very spacious and
offer great comfort with a
luxurious bathroom, living and
bedroom as well as your own
balcony or garden. Most have sea
views while some have their own
private garden.
Suggested is the new
Atlantic Wing of the lodge which
is comprised of 5 spacious,
air-conditioned suites,
beautiful furnished living room,
king size beds, exquisite
bathroom with dressing area. On
your balcony you find your
private Jacuzzi, rest beds and a
table set. With rooms called
Agnes, Boyard, Babeth, Caylani
and Dubois newlyweds are bound
to find your ideal honeymoon
suite. Their restaurant is
legendary serving up some of the
finest international food in The
Gambia.
Mandina
Lodge
For
those honeymooners looking for
something a little different
then Mandina, in Makasutu
Forest, just might fit the bill.
Located by a river
tributary, just 10 km from the
airport, in its own 1,000 acres
of land and away from the
tourist areas this unique lodge
combines a natural appearance
with all the comforts you have
come to expect. Note that the
toilets are composting types in
order to prevent pollution of
the pristine waters.
There are several options to
choose from as there are jungle,
stilted and
floating river lodges.
Mandina is ideal for couples who
want quiet, private lodgings for
their honeymoon.
You
don't have to stay here
throughout your vacation but can
combine a 3 or 4-night stay at
Mandina with a stay at any beach
hotel on the coast.
Senegambia Hotel
This
is the cheapest honeymoon option in
Kololi for those on a
tight budget. You won't get the
same level of privacy and quiet
as at the other hotels above so
your best choice here would be
to opt for an apartment with sea
views.
There are over 325
accommodation units so there
will be plenty of other guests
if you prefer mingling with
others and making new friends.
The Senegambia does have the
advantage of being near the main
entertainments areas with plenty
of night life if you like to go
out on the town.
Seaview Gardens Hotel
Located
in Kololi they offer 7 nights'
accommodation for two adults in
a honeymoon suite including
breakfast served in your private
porch. Upon your arrival you
will be greeted with sparkling
wine and handmade chocolate
truffles. During your stay,
enjoy 1 romantic four course
candle lit dinner with your new
spouse in the a la carte
restaurant. Included in the
hotel's package is a daily
buffet breakfast and airport
transfers.

Whether
you are planning an
unforgettable honeymoon in
Gambia combining relaxation and
sightseeing, a once in a
lifetime holiday or a really
enjoyable and special itinerary
for romantic newly weds, the
above resort resorts will ensure you get
the most out of your holiday.
After all of the celebrations
and good wishes have been given
and received, the new
couple needs to take some time
to sit back and reflect on the
significant turn their lives
have taken. A well-chosen hotel
gives a chance for the new Mr. &
Mrs. to take pleasure in the
feeling of being "joined in
holy matrimony"
while being pampered at their
resort.
While many couples lean toward
"traditional" honeymoon
destinations such as in Asia or
the Caribbean, or choose
luxurious cruise vessels to
unwind on after months of hectic
wedding planning, there is now a
trend towards a more unique type
of holiday that combines beauty
with relaxation in Gambia. |
