We loved our week long stay at Nemasu eco lodge.Its in a beautiful setting, right next to the beach.In the middle of gardens and palm trees, with monkeys and birds.
Is a local lodge with the benefits going to local people.Staff very helpful and will organise trips for you.Food good .Lodges are large and comfy with a veranda for relaxing

I just come back from my holiday in |Nemasu. Good for a short stay. Very basic but its ok. Beautiful beach , which should remain unspoilt. Unfortunately there is plenty of rubbish. Food is excellent cooked from the scratch, always fresh and very tasty. Staff very friendly.
In my review I want to show my gratitude and respect to people , who made it possible. People behind the closed doors, a couple from the USA, who changed the lives of many Gambians. Frankly speaking I am very moved and touched by the act of your generosity . What a beautiful gesture to another human being. You made a significant changes in their lives. And you made it possible for us Europeans to enjoy the serenity of African nature.And it is a real beauty , the beauty of human heart,cannot be seen by our senses ,can only be felt by the heart. Thank you again and God bless you.

Thanks so much, Iwona. Keep coming - we make no profit but rely on you guys to keep Nemasu alive. Covid, coups, the failure of Thomas Cook, the scare of ebola - have all taken a huge toll on the Gambian economy. Spread the word! Come visit!! BTW the rubbish on the beach you refer to is somewhat out of our control. We clean the beach in front of Nemasu every day, so that is spotless - but have to stop somewhere. Nemasu itself is spotless.

A beautiful beach front eco-resort with solid service and rustic huts. Enjoyed the stay and would consider a repeat visit.

Nemasu is definitely what I call paradise, cannot fault it at all, the staff were fantastic, the food from the restaurant just amazing, all local fresh produce.
The rooms are very comfortable, clean all you need.
A big thankyou to all the staff for looking after me throughout my stay, have never stayed in such a wonderful place.

Great place ruined by a chinese factory
Posted 24 Dec 2019 on HotelsAn amazing place ruined by a chinese factory poluting the air. We feel sorry for the locals living there. The ecolodge is great but we left after one night.

It's really unfortunate that we're sometimes affected by this factory. We, together with other local residents, have taken the factory to court, but have been ineffective battling the government on this issue. The smell doesn't reach us very often; it would be an injustice to punish the local community by tourists staying away because of the Chinese. I appreciate your mentioning it in the review, and encourage you to make an official complaint to the Gambian government.

I have just arrived back from an amazing stay in The Gambia at Nemasu.This Lodge is spectacular,a really special place.I have so many great things to say about Nemasu,the wonderful,exceptionally helpful and friendly staff and beautify traditional very private room/ lodge.The views from my lodge and the rest of ground were phenomenal.Beautiful blue skys and water/sea all around.The private beach is secluded, quiet and clean.The beach bar is great, very handy for lazy/ relaxing days.Great service from all the bar and the beautiful traditional resturant too.The food and drinks at Nemasu is excellent.I have eaten from chefs all around the world and l can say the food at Nemasu is the best l have ever had in my life.I have many dietary food and drink restrictions for health reasons. Nemasu were great, the chef cooked my meals separately from other guests/customers many times and the great, healthy,diverse menu of foods and drinks/teas allowed me to eat and drink all holiday without any health issues,which is a first for me!.The few times/days l did feel ill, the staff were so helpful and made me teas,checked on me and gave me local remedies to help.I was so grateful and touched by this as l was travelling alone and down to the owner (Hillary),the manager(Seedy), the great massage therapist (Isha) and all the other great,excellent staff at Nemasu,always did so much to make me feel/get better.It was paradise, l thank Nemusu for a holiday of a lifetime and look forward to returning.
