Balafon Beach Resort

The food was quite good, especially the Lady Fish. I liked my room B3. Very functional and overlooking the beach.

Balafon is a nice hotel part of a locally run chain. The pool is nice and the beach is perfect. The cook is doing a great job and the staff is friendly (with one exception). The rooms are spacious and nicely equipped. I like sitting in front of the room in the small garden which comes with it.

The resort is beautiful built with large clean rooms close to the beach and around the pools. The restaurant/bar is great and serves good food with entertainment in the evening. The staff is extremely professional and always happy to help. The location is great. You don’t need to go miles away for the beaches, restaurants, the shopping centre and other places of attraction. There is a water sports company called ‘Kinteh Water Sports’ close to the hotel private beach. The activities provided are jet skiing, the quad biking, canoeing, surfboarding, use the water paddlers. It is affordable and the owner is very helpful, patient, knowledgeable and friendly. You only have to walk along the beach on the left side to see it located outside a bar/restaurant called ‘Pocoloco’. ‘Pocoloco’ is also a great place for drinks and entertainment. You can also ride horses along the beach with the locals. The monkey park is also located 5 minutes away which is worth the visit! The locals are extremely friendly and always happy to help. Most of them are hustlers and will approach you to support their businesses.

We liked everything about our stay at this hotel, the staff, the location and the ambiance. Room was spacious with all that we needed available. We only had breakfast included in our package but found a wide selection of hot and cold items which set us up perfectly for our day ahead. There's a feeling of safety as its very secure and its a fabulous place to stay.

Very comfortable and the staff are very nice and accommodating.
