West Africa is very diverse and there are countless upscale hotels along the Atlantic Ocean between Dakar and the south of Senegal. However, numerous hotels are fighting over the few tourists that are currently drawn to Africa. The quality of life here is quite high for those who can afford it. For those friends of the Africa travel, which are powerful the French language, the Senegal could come into the closer choice. There the infrastructure is partly even European. However: until today not many people in Senegal speak English or even German. Senegal or better The Gambia?
Senegal is known in the tourism world, unlike The Gambia. The smallest destination on the entire African continent is focusing entirely on tourism in winter 2021/22 for good reason. The African country on the west coast of Africa is regarded as a thoroughly progressive, open-minded travel destination and, despite its economic malaise, impresses with a low crime rate and particularly friendly people. In Africa, too, people know how to vacation, dine and celebrate superbly. One of the best hotels in Western Africa is the well-known Resort & Spa Coco Ocean in the small country of The Gambia.

The flight distance from European hubs is a little bit more than that of the Canary Islands. From London it takes a little more than 6 hours to reach Banjul. With the exception of its west coast on the Atlantic Ocean, Gambia is completely surrounded by the much larger Senegal.
Which hotel is really the best in West Africa?
I followed the question and again and again the ‚Coco Ocean Resort and Spa‘ was named frequently. The politicians of all visiting regions stay here, also the musicians and artists and the A-celebrities are attracted to the great suites with private pool and private chef. The excellent location directly on the soft Atlantic Ocean is also a good reason to visit the leading hotel, as well as the cuisine of the excellent chefs. A good reason to have a look behind the scenes there and also to have an interview with Sir Ranga, the general manager of the ‚Coco Ocean Resort & Spa’…
