Review:
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. |
