The Gambia Hotel Association currently lists Badala Park Hotel in Kotu and describes a renovated property on Kotu Stream Road with gardens, a pool and birdwatching surroundings.
The actual property photograph used here is older than the current renovation, so visitors should treat it as an archival image of the hotel rather than a current representation of every facility.
