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. |
