Myself and my husband enjoyed our stay at Tamala hotel. We were there for 2 weeks. Initially we had issues with our room, but this was sorted fairly swiftly and were given a room in better condition. All the staff were very approachable and helpful - particularly Babou, the housekeeper Musa Ceesay and Babucarr. Entertainment was great and happened regularly.

What a Wonderful B-day Trip at Tamala Resort! Any issues that came up the staff was ready and willing to remedy. Lots of smiling faces ready to make your stay both pleasurable and memorable. My only complaint is that the rooms have no amenities and could be updated. With that information I believe your choice would still be a great one!
