Please tell us, if you would like to have a room with AC. The extra cost for a room with AC is 10 e per day. We have our own borehole, which secures the water for the guests. The tanks are filled between 11 PM and 7 AM at nights. During that time there is no running water. Our electricity comes from national electricity company Nawac. In Bakau electricity usually works pretty fine. But sometimes there are short power cuts. We have the biggest device and the fastest wifi connection available in The Gambia. That usually works, but it is slow at peak times (usually on the evenings between 7 PM- 12 PM). We always recommend our guest who are dependent on wifi also to buy Africell SIM-card and to upload some megabites to that, so you can also use your own connection when wifi is slow or not working. The Gambia is a developing country and the standards of the water, electricity, wifi, cleaning and the service are not the same level as in the Western world. We hope you understand that. We make our utmost to make you feel comfortable and to enjoy your stay. You are warmly welcome to Coco Oasis!
