Review:
Bakotu Hotel is one of the most exotically intimate
package holiday-hotels, its popularity demonstrated
by its numerous repeat guests who come back year after
year. All this despite its general feeling of crampness
or cosiness as some brochures might call it. It was
built in 1976 by an
entrepreneurial Swede.
The rooms are individually decorated and vary in size
and design to cater for different tastes. They come
in either twin or double and family rooms have bunk
beds. The best accommodation can be found on the upper
levels, away from the road and with your own balcony,
some with sea views.
The main reception is nestled in between the generously
stocked street side mini-market and the restaurant
/ night club. As you approach the Africa shaped pool
you can see deckchairs and sunshades lined up neatly
behind.
Steps descend down towards the
mangroves
where you can stroll along a purpose built walkway
for up to 100 metres above the water's surface. If
you want to get down to the Kotu beach you will invariably
make a 125m walk through the cluster of restaurants,
souvenir stalls and un-official guides then turn left
at the ocean entrance.
Nightly entertainment can be found at the Captain's
Table and impromptu outside performance most often
to be enjoyed 10-11 pm.
The Bakotu Hotel is a value for money hotel in Gambia
and the tourist resort is ideal for couples and families
on winter holiday to Banjul. |
