My stay at Tamala would have been terrible if it hadn't been the staff, I unfortunately got sick soon after arriving at the hotel, and the staff were amazing in how they took care of me during this time, forever grateful.

Lovely resort with beautiful pools and a nice beach in front too. I was so very impressed by the staff. They work hard and really make every effort to ensure you have a great stay, whether making you a yummy cocktail, serving you food or helping you to move deckchairs around the pool. Rooms are spacious with nice balconies or terraces. I had one overlooking the sea as I didn’t want to hear any pool noise. I’d recommend this, or a garden view, if you don’t want to hear nighttime music. I had a couple of issues sorted out quickly after speaking to the manager and assistant manager. I had lots of massages and highly recommend visit the spa, although it could do with some renovations as it’s quite scruffy, with paint peeling off the entrance. It’s worth walking up the beach to Solomon’s for a sunset drink. I also had a few super meals around the town. I’d definitely return.

Room needs updating, the wooden area in bathroom is a bacteria fest! Often had to ask for towels, cleaning of rooms could be better. Towels never smelt fresh, minimal toiletries , food was awful covered in flies, as all inclusive you still had to pay for certain drinks such as bottled water, coke, fanta there own version is that cheap lollipop flavour rubbish

I took a week off from work to rest and it was the best idea i had to go to Tamala. From the large, nice and clean room, the beautiful scenery to the kindness of the staff, everything was impeccable. I had to extend my stay for one more day. I had an excellent experience.

The hotel has really fallen into ruin which is a shame. The rooms are in dire need of getting a makeover. Half the rooms were closed undergoing renovation so I’m curious to return to see how much it has improved. Regardless, in the current condition it’s in, it’s priced far too high. The other downside was also that the beach is not private so there’s a lot of people and the beach is also in poor condition with plastics that aren’t cleaned in front of the rooms. I did love the food and the staff were great.

Service for issues was slow, took 4 days to connect tv and there was only one reastraunt to choose from for meals. I stayed 10 days and the menu got boring by day 5. However, brunch on sunday was fabulous and barbque nights on friday and sat was good too. Allthough it was a seperate charge and we where not made aware of the options, by staff had to figure it out so missed out on the seperate menu. I think the staff should could do a better job at keeping customers aware of events when staying. All in all a good price and a comfortable stay

Myself and my husband enjoyed our stay at Tamala hotel. We were there for 2 weeks. Initially we had issues with our room, but this was sorted fairly swiftly and were given a room in better condition. All the staff were very approachable and helpful - particularly Babou, the housekeeper Musa Ceesay and Babucarr. Entertainment was great and happened regularly.
