Re: January

yes, twice, but that's quite some years back. The location is ok, within a short walking distance from Senegambia and also from the beach.

Since the stuffs might have changed since then, It may be ok now. s for me, I would not book there again as a Lady alone. Tooo much huzzle from the stuffs.

Re: January

thanks for the replay, going with hubby, and have been many, many times, can understand the problems of being a female alone though, only once was I harrassed and it was after id nipped back for something for the hotel, came back to hubby and said never again lol
love the place, but think it would take lots of courage for me to go alone

Re: January

well it's not my first time to go alone, but definately I prefer a lodge in a village

The villagers are nice and friendly. They great you and pass by. It is sometimes a nightmare to go to the beach. But when I'm there it's ok, everybody in my preferred spots knows my husband, so I have my perfect peace

Re: January

If you want somewhere right on the beach, with zero hassle, have you tried La Pirogue, just past the new Garage in Bijilo, the setting is beautiful, great pool, or you can sit on the beach, it you ise the pool you have to pay, but once you have been it is well worth it, it is free to use the beach part, it is usually very quiet and the food is great, not the cheapest of places, but well worth a visit

Re: January

thanks Hally, I will check out the place when I'm there!
