Nestled in the heart of Kololi and just a leisurely 1.5 km stroll from the lively Senegambia Beach, Balafon Beach Resort is a slice of paradise waiting for you. Imagine enjoying a delicious meal at the on-site restaurant, parking your car for free, or maybe squeezing in a workout at the fitness centre before soaking up the sun at the private beach! They've got a lovely garden too, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a day of adventures.

The rooms here are comfy and well-equipped, complete with air conditioning to keep you cool, a flat-screen TV for your entertainment, and a fridge for your midnight snacks. Each room features a private bathroom, and some even offer a stunning pool view. It's like having your own little oasis!

Wake up to a hearty buffet breakfast to fuel your day of exploration. Whether you're keen on playing table tennis, darts, or trying your hand at mini-golf, there’s plenty to keep you entertained. Plus, if you're into snorkelling, you're in the right place!

Planning to explore more? The resort has a handy business centre and a car rental service, so you can hit the road with ease. Oh, and don’t forget to pick up a souvenir from the gift shop! Let’s not forget, you’re only 2 km away from the enchanting Little Monkey Zoo (Bijilo Monkey Park) in Banjul, perfect for a fun day out with the family.

8/10
Right near the beach…perfect spot really. That little garden outside the rooms? Chill vibe all the way. Pool’s nice too, which is always a bonus. Staff mostly cool, friendly folks…one or two ramblers aside but eh, that’s just life. Rooms roomy, comfy enough and clean. Breakfast and food? Good enough,andcozy too.That was a nice touch. Walkable to the Senegambia Strip too, so restaurants not far…and shops around, which helps a lot. Security’s tight,seen them around 24/7, makes you feel safe ‘cause it’s wide open space by the water. Beach vibe local but peaceful, lots of shells, people wandering, cows too…kind of fun. A quiet gem for sure.
