Stayed in the resort for two nights with my wife in late April. It was also a special occasion for us and I had mentioned it during our booking process. However when we arrived at the hotel, there was no mention of it – which I found strange for a 5 star hotel. Also we were not provided with any... More

We stayed at COCO BEACH Spa resort for a week for a work conference. The spa services were totally amazing, extremely professional and spotlessly clean, the food was of out standing quality and incredibly happy faced service. We will definitely be returning for a romantic get away in the very near future. My only complaint is our room was very... More

Gambia is not very big and i spent my time exploring every other hotel of it's class to be sure i chose... More

We were recommended to stay in this hotel by family and were not disappointed at all. This is a beautiful hotel and all the waiting staff are very friendly and are happy to offer recommendations regarding the food. The cleaning staff were also friendly but very keen to offer us other services that tourists might be interested in - e.g.... More

From the minute you drive in you know this is one classy joint. The interior decor is extremely Chic with alot of Moroccan influence. The room we were given was really nice. The home made Moroccan shower gel and shampoo was a great touch. The breakfasts were one of the best we have ever had. Love the cascading pools. Beaches... More

My husband and I stayed here for 7 nights in November 2011. We transferred from the Mandina Lodge and suffered from slight ‘culture-shock’ coming from a unique riverside stay in a floating lodge to a modern and very ‘western’ hotel at Coco Ocean. We stayed in a superior penthouse and our room was very large and spotlessly clean. The bed... More

We changed this year to the Coco Ocean after many years at the Kairaba which we felt needs some freshening up. Also, the beach erosion is now very severe. The Coco Ocean did not disappoint us as it is a superbly well-run hotel with excellent facilities, particularly the spa. The food is also first-class. We upgraded to the seaview Club... More

Travelling with the Gambian Experience ( fantastic company!) we flew with Monarch to the Gambia for our second visit. The flight was lovely, we did upgrade though - our arrival was smooth and we arrived to a lovely reception at the Coco Beach. I agree with everything that SVKG states, and alf03, settling our bill was a bit of a... More
