Paradise Inn lodge in Banjul The surroundings are beautiful and quiet, but the state of the outside sitting accommodation is very bad. The bank outside is in a poor condition and almost rotten. The pillow is like a rock. The lodge needs a lot of investment.
Dalaba Lodge in Paradise Island I have stayed on Jinack Island lots of times and the people are great. I recommend this hotel if you want to get away from it all. It's 10 minutes from the beach--one of the best beaches in Gambia. There are 2 beach bars on the beach: Madiana and Dolphin Creek Beach Bar. There is also kite surfing. You will have a great time at Dalaba Lodge.
