Review:
The present Ocean Bay Hotel and Resort
was originally called the Mariatou. It
used to have a 'French city-centre'
frontage of plate glass and green
awnings; entry and exit gates to
green-grilled forecourt parking of the
main street at Cape Point in Bakau.
Today,
it has an immense, marble tiled
reception lounge with its booking desk
on the right-hand side.
In
widespread gardens behind the splendid
beach - neatly trimmed trellised
bougainvillea, tamarisk hedges, and
coppices of palms - the immaculate
amenities first designed by Peter Mansk
were also refurbished in 1996-97: a
top-notch entertainment and stage area
across from the main Hacienda
Restaurant local and visiting
entertainers to The Gambia. Opposite is the large
rectangular pool, with the kids' splash
pool bulging out at one corner, and
tennis court. From the nearby bar cool
beverages and light meals are available
throughout the day.
Following a complete refurbishment the
Ocean Bay re-opened in 2004 to much fanfair. The
accommodation rooms are arranged in two
storey buildings spread over the
gardens. The Ocean Bay is is now an
impressive addition addition to the
Gambia's expanding list of resort
hotels. It is spacious and visually
appealing, with groomed, palm shaded
lawns and comfortable, though
conservatively decorated rooms.
Nearest to the main block, the
apartments do not lack class. French
'Afro-colonial' central stairs bifurcate
to upper balconies, and these shaped in
upturned arches. The interiors stylish
and furnished in dark wood providing a
superb standard of comfort for all its
guests. Fitted with air-conditioning,
television, security safe, open porch,
telephone, small fridge stocked with
drinks, dressing table, chairs,
hairdryer, and large, sturdy
comfortable beds.
Just to the
right of the hotel are a number of bars,
local restaurants, money exchange
services, and a small tourist craft
market all within a stones-throw. The
popular spot of Kololi is just 15
minutes by taxi.
Note: • Aim
to stay on the 1st floor suites as they
tend to be airier and with better
seaviews.
• When making a online
booking note that they accept the
following credit cards: Visa, Eurocard,
American Express
and Mastercard (Diners not accepted).
• Board basis is bed and breakfast.
• Highly recommended for families and
couples.
