'Nestled on a rocky coastal cliff in Bakau, The African Village Hotel offers a unique Gambian experience with its own raised, man-made beach. Originally a nightspot, this budget-friendly hotel now features over 70 rooms designed in a charming village style with modern amenities. A central swimming pool, complete with a thatched bar on a man-made island, forms the heart of this bustling complex. Guests can also find a mini-market conveniently located on site. '
