Review:
Sandele Bay Eco-Retreat is run on ethical principles,
training and employing the local staff and using local
materials wherever possible. It is built using ecological
construction techniques introduced from India to The
Gambia and is run as a model of sustainability. Their
vision is to create a centre of excellence in terms
of responsible tourism, sustainability; luxury and
peace; where quality, first-rate service and superior
cuisine is offered in a manner that maximizes benefit
to the local community.
The retreat's 4 domed eco-lodges are a one-of-a-kind
rounded and domed structures that oddly manage to
blend into their background despite their red ochre
and yellow roofs. Maximum use is made the windows
to allow the suns natural light to illuminate the
rooms while using as little electricity as possible.
The private patios are fairly wide with an adjacent
plunge pool (shared by 2 suites) to cool off during
the hot afternoons.
There is also a sturdy deckchair, very wide, soft
sunbed and shaded dining area where you can eat you
meals al-fresco style.
The other 10 standard rooms do not have a plunge pool.
The Sandele's luxury suites are generous in size while
the wooden beds are more than adequate to sleep two
persons on its fine,
Egyptian
cotton sheets. The bathroom finishing does not disappoint
as it is superb quality with plenty of drawer space
beneath the single lever tap wash hand basins for
your towels and toiletries.
Dining:
The in-house Pakaya Restaurant is set on 2 decks and
serves good standard international meals as well as
local catches such as spiny rock lobster.
Note:
Room rates are available on a half-board or full-board
basis during the summer and winter holiday season.
