Kombo Beach is a welcoming and friendly place to stay, located in tropical gardens. This accommodation benefits from being on one of the best stretches of beach in the whole of the Gambia. The rooms here are basic and comfortable, with air-conditioning and either a little balcony or patio to relax on. A full programme of daytime and evening entertainment is on offer, although guests may simply wish to lie back on the gorgeous beach and make the most of the tropical ambiance.

My Sister and me, we are from Holland, we were the first time in Gambia. The people of The Gambia are so friendly and they give you a good feeling they are always smiling. Our Experience of The Gambia was perfect we maked a lot of friends and we deceided in The Gambia we are coming back also to Kotu Kombo Beach Hotel. In the Hotel everyone is very friendly. Our Cook Eric from the restaurant Gecko (also in the Hotel) was our best friend, he suprised us with 'Domoda'. Iff somebody meets him tell him the friendly greeting from Marianne (Mariama) from Holland.
First time in Kombo and definately not our last time

We just had a wonderfull time in the Kombo Beach Hotel, so good even that we are thinking of going there again in January or February.
We booked a premium room which was just fab, loads of space, good working ac, comfortable beds and a nice view on the tropical garden. The staff were ever so friendly and the food from breakfast to lunch to diner was excellent. We went on a few trips and every time we got back in the hotel we felt at home. Actually we felt at home the second we came into the hotel. The welcome was friendly and no hassle about registering at reception, no we could do that in our own time.
We can highly recommend this hotel and we are hopefully back soon!

The hotel is set in brilliant grounds, the food is exceptional, but to fully experience the gambia you need to go and eat out in one of the many restaraunts on the strip.
The local people are freindly an..." (further information on Kombo Beach)
