Review:
The
Laico Atlantic Hotel
and Resort was the
Banjul resort's first in time and
class. It is sited on
the beach on an
old colonial thoroughfare
originally called Regent
Place.
The current,
very delightful edifice
was designed by the
Mexican Louis von Waberer,
built by Balfour Beatty,
opened in 1979 and
operated until 1994 by the
British promoters,
Caledonian Hotel
Management. From 1999 it
has was managed by the
international chain,
Corinthia Group (CHI
Hotels & Resorts) until
August 2009 when it
changed ownership to the
LAICO Resorts.
In the early part 2000 the
Maltese based chain made
large investments in
extensive upgrading.
Starting with a colossal
arch; repainted facade in
pleasant cream and maroon
and in the excellent
Apollo Fitness Centre.
As you enter the front
gate there is a luxuriant,
spacious and welcoming
front area. To your left
is a lush 'Rose Garden'
filled with mostly bamboo,
young palms and trees. To
your right is an
illuminated garden (with
its unsecured George lll
cannon). The drive-through
veranda leads onto a
curved central courtyard
where you will find an
extensive reception desk
by any standard, the
business centre equipped
with photocopier, fax and
internet terminal.
The reception lounge bends
left past the boutique,
hairdresser's and the
Leisure Centre. To your
right is the sophisticated
Dunda ('High Life')
à la carte Restaurant and
the Bendula ('Meeting
Place') Bar. Arching
on round these, the lounge
bar and boutiques. This
row then opens into the Katcha Dula Bar and
Bantaba Restaurant which
is adjoined by an
entertainment area. Their
long, curved, louvered
covered walls lead on to
the garden, sunchairs and
locally produced thatched
parasols around the bean
shaped swimming pool. A
number of dining services
encircle the pool.
Towards the ocean is an
open-air cafe set under
the tamarisks and rhuns,
and there is also a beach
barbecue.
The 204 rooms and suites make up the 3
wings of the hotel's star
shaped storey buildings
each serviced by a spiral
staircase. Accommodation
furnishings are in cools
shades with mid-brown,
wooden fitted wardrobes,
drawers and a dressing
table, double, twin or
single beds and a balcony
protruding from the
bedrooms.
Due to
the accommodation's Banjul
location in the quiet city
there is little in the way
of night life. However,
taxis parked nearby can,
in just 25 minutes or so,
take you to the much
livelier Senegambia hotel
area in the Kololi resort.
Banjul's Laico Atlantic
Hotel is perfect for
families going on an
all-inclusive holiday
to Gambia.
