Kunta Kinteh Beach Complex

My wife and I stayed 5 nights, arriving at 6PM by taxi(E20) from BJL Airport. The pleasant English speaking receptionist copied our passports and gave us the choice of cash payments; in Euros now, or tomorrow, Gambian dalasi by using the African Princess Hotel ATM(1km SW). We followed the manager(carrying our bag) 75m down the walkway to our “Mandorry” 2 bed bungalow with a limited view of the sea. He showed us the nice bathroom with a shower stall, large living room with a small kitchen(nice refrigerator, microwave and hotpot), the floor fan, the large bedroom with a firm queen, small closet and how to control the very important AC. The new TV had CNN/BBC in English and the room wifi was good most of the time. The rooms were serviced daily. We did not use the 2nd bedroom. The next day we presented a list to the office; brighter light in the main room, missing a drying rack and the mosquito net over the bed, the latter never arrived. Day beach beds are made up by the staff with towel rental available. A parade of vendors stroll along the front at a required distance. A large pool in the back can be a joy to use in the morning while in the afternoon it depends on the number of kids. The restaurant provides great food served by an attentive staff along with pleasant music. The property electricity does blip off occasionally. We walked 1.4km south to the wonderful Maroun’s supermarket with a full supply of European brands.
