Palma Rima Hotel

this hotel is situated in the heart of kololi so location is great for bars, restaurants, and the beach. The accommodation is pretty basic and you are advised not to book standard accommodation block as you will be kept awake all night by the hotels adjacent club padron. The pool is large but not well serviced and maintained someone cut there toe and had to go to hospital due to dodgy tiles. you will find plenty of sunloungers and the pool staff are brilliant. Look to book bungalow with aircon and fridge and you will have a comfortable stay. If not you will be charged alot to have this added on arrival. The breakfast is well below expectations so take some goodies in your case or get ready to eat out. The restaurant paid food is better, and drinks are reasonably priced. All in OK this hotel is OK for those not looking for anything but a place to crash, don't expect any bells or whistles.

Hotel, bungalows were amazing clean tidy well equipped. Kept to a high standard. Security is paramount in this resort. Staff supply an outstanding service with smiles and warmth nothing is too much they will make your holiday experience exceptional, memorable and assist in all your needs. They go out their way to ensure you feel welcome safe and offer so much to make your stay the best possible, All the staff are incredible in every way. Couldn’t ask for more or a better experience in service.

Been here many times as great location. this hotel is out dated, it needs great work attention and clean up. Plus where is modou m.bake the top security, the happiest helpful friendly man .?? MBake was palma rima he should be management, he helped us out so many times . I dropped my purse with 12,000.00 in it modou handed it to me,yet he was paid peanuts. My friend lost her credit card guess who found it and handed it back to us modou mbake. He had great ideas for palma rima too,sadly we won't be back none of us,all 6 of us Ron Carol Helen Katie John and Hamilton modou mbake made our holiday just a lot better with jokes laughter and honesty. Management lost a real honest man and hard worker a real Gem. Where are you modou ?,what hotel? I met other people who asked the same thing at the beach, plane and restaurants. We hope he's OK.. Any one know where he is full us in pls.

I've been to this hotel a few times and others in the Gambia 🇬🇲, always enjoyed myself I do know several people in Gambia 🇬🇲 in the past my own family have also been there it still needs a bit of attention here and there. The staff all round are excellent even though the chambermaids want to marry me off, I will return there again next year was there for 3 weeks 23/January and good to see 👀 same tourists as well, breakfast still needs to be looked at I'm a chef 👨‍🍳 but does suit me. Thanks palma rima.

Well this was the 3rd and last time here unless it drastically improves.we were b&b in a bungalow. Its advertised with TUI and the hotel and there are old photos on both websites that it has entertainment and a night club and a shop which were both closed we were there 2 weeks and only once was there water polo and Tuesdays in the afternoon drummers that was it no aqua aerobics nothing there was no music to speak of and no entertainment in the evening as advertised .breakfast was shocking chopped up tinned hotdogs that was your sausage. Waiting ages for food as they never had enough and usually cold Not enough choice and supposedly buffet but staff served you . the bungalow are shabby and out dated .outside the hotel there is a new dual carriage way being build dust everywhere in the hotel over the trees and plants paths it was settling in the bottom of the pool too .cleaners were doing their best to keep it down.hose pipes should of been used on the vegetation to clear off the dust fridge at £53 for the 2 weeks and A/C at £ 12.50 per day there are hotels being built up the road being built now so we will see what they offer . Noisy at night until 3 am when the night clubs close .food outside in the many eateries is half the price of the bar food and 100% better .there were quite a few bungalows furthest away from the pool were unoccupied and derelict the place needs knocking down and starting again

Tired out dated un cared for less than basic don't waste your money the owner really needs to put the money he's charging back into the hotel . Only good points staff lovely room cleaned and comfortable beds. But everything else pool dirty and cracked and broken tiles someone actually cut their foot while we were there linen threadbare bathroom shower eventually got hot but a trickle of water when the toilet was flushed it made a loud noise for at least 5 min.gardens are not maintained. Breakfast basic but nice cup of tea.
