If you're planning a holiday in The Gambia, the most important question to ask yourself is, where will you stay? The Gambia offers various accommodation options, from expensive hotels/resorts to more pocket-friendly hotels and self-catering apartments. Are you the fancy and luxurious resort type, or would you prefer to get a taste of the real Gambia?

If you fall in the second category, you will probably love Lisa's Appartments. With six one-bedroom self-catering apartments on the ground floor, Lisa's Appartments cater to a variety of guests, including individuals in wheelchairs. The entire premises have been tiled well to allow the disabled guests to move freely without any worries. It also provides a special stool for guests who need to be seated while showering.

One of the key attractions of Lisa's Appartments is its strategic location. Situated just 1.2 km from the beach, guests have easy access to the stunning coastline of Kololi. Furthermore, these apartments are conveniently located close to supermarkets, making it easy to stock up on groceries or indulge in the local flavours of Gambia.

Each of the six one-bedroom apartments has been thoughtfully designed to ensure maximum comfort for guests. The apartments are equipped with two single beds per room(which can be brought together or kept separate), ideal for couples or a group of friends. A little dining table provides privacy for guests who wish to eat indoors. If you prefer your early morning tea or coffee in the fresh air, there is also a garden dining set on your patio. There are partitions between each room to give guests privacy on the patio. Additionally, all rooms are non-smoking, ensuring a pleasant and odor-free environment.

A restaurant on the premises will open soon, where guests can indulge in delicious local and international cuisine without venturing too far from their doorstep.

While Lisa's Appartments may not rate high on the luxury scale, they provide all the amenities for a comfortable stay. Each apartment features a kitchenette with basic cooking facilities, allowing guests to prepare their own meals if desired.

Step outside your room, and you'll find a charming garden with a peaceful haven for guests to relax and unwind. Whether you wish to be in the open or in the gazebo while enjoying a morning coffee or reading a book in the afternoon, this idyllic space is perfect for reconnecting with nature. The lush greenery and vibrant flowers provide a picturesque backdrop, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. And if you're a bird lover, you'll likely see a few beautiful birds, too! If you're in the mood for some tan, you will find a couple of sunbeds, a hammock and even a parasol if the sun gets too hot.
