Review: (Ocean Bay Hotel
and Resort)
The present Ocean Bay Hotel and Resort was originally
called the Mariatou. It used to have a 'French
city-centre' frontage of plate glass and green
awnings; entry and exit gates to green-grilled
forecourt parking of the main street at Cape
Point in Bakau. Today, it has an immense, marble
tiled reception lounge with its booking desk
on the right-hand side.
In widespread gardens behind the splendid
beach - neatly trimmed trellised bougainvillea,
tamarisk hedges, and coppices of palms - the
immaculate amenities first designed by Peter
Mansk were also refurbished in 1996-97: a top-notch
entertainment and stage area across from the
main Hacienda Restaurant local and visiting
entertainers to The Gambia. Opposite is the
large rectangular pool, with the kids' splash
pool bulging out at one corner, and tennis court.
From the nearby bar cool beverages and light
meals are available throughout the day.
Following a complete refurbishment the Ocean
Bay re-opened in 2004 to much fanfair. The accommodation
rooms are arranged in two storey buildings spread
over the gardens. The Ocean Bay is is now an
impressive addition addition to the Gambia's
expanding list of resort hotels. It is spacious
and visually appealing, with groomed, palm shaded
lawns and comfortable, though conservatively
decorated rooms.
Nearest to the main block, the apartments do
not lack class. French 'Afro-colonial' central
stairs bifurcate to upper balconies, and these
shaped in upturned arches. The interiors stylish
and furnished in dark wood providing a superb
standard of comfort for all its guests. Fitted
with air-conditioning, television, security
safe, open porch, telephone, small fridge stocked
with drinks, dressing table, chairs, hairdryer,
and large, sturdy comfortable beds.
Just to the right of the hotel are a number
of bars, local restaurants, money exchange services,
and a small tourist craft market all within
a stones-throw. The popular spot of Kololi is
just 15 minutes by taxi.
Note:
Aim to stay on the 1st floor suites as they
tend to be airier and with better sea views.
Board basis is bed and breakfast.
