"I give the property a B+...maybe A-. The staff were nice and helpful. The check in was a bit late (2pm)."
Kilua Residences by CityBlue, Mombasa
10/10 Excellent
"The apartment far exceeded our expectations, it was huge for the five of us, breakfast was great and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. The beach was steps away, overall a fantastic stay."
Voyager Beach Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Staff great,clean."
Diani Sea Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Diani Sea Lodge was a wonderful resort for my solo trip. I felt incredibly safe and welcomed by everyone, and the accommodation is great! They host many activities so there’s always something going on, but also there’s many quiet spaces to get away from the crowds if needed. The waterfront is stunning! I highly recommend Diani Sea Lodge for everyone, solo travelers, families, friends, couples would all love the experience."
Hotel English Point Marina & Spa
10/10 Excellent
"I had a wonderful stay at Hotel English Point Marina & Spa. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with a relaxing atmosphere and all the amenities needed for a pleasant stay. The bed was very comfortable, and the room provided a quiet and peaceful environment to rest after a long day. The staff were exceptional, friendly, welcoming, and always ready to assist with a genuine smile. Their professionalism and attention to detail made the experience even more enjoyable. They were helpful with any requests and made me feel well taken care of throughout my stay. Overall, I had a great experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfortable accommodation with excellent service. I look forward to staying here again in the future."
Severin Sea Lodge
8/10 Good
"American solo. The resort is paradise. Secure. Effort to be handicap friendly. I had a 3rd-floor room by the entrance. Walls are thin, so guests should be mindful to be quiet. *My only issue is that breakfast is only 6-9am local time. This means forcing oneself to eat during sleeping hours until jet lag can adjust. Don't buy the bed & breakfast package if you're like me and need (or want) to sleep in. It IS vacation after all! Save funds for a la carte meals. *Courteous staff, taxis at gate for travel, clean and spacious room and balcony in working order. Fun animation planning (aerobics, volleyball, etc.), excursions, live entertainment, on-site museum and shopping, small gym, and small spa. *Monkeys do roam the site, so keep food to restaurant area. *Constant breeze off Indian Ocean is divine. Bar service on the lawn and at poolside. Swing bar. Outdoor shower. At beach, see Tembo for glass boat, take camel ride, get massage, buy local crafts, save pocket change for acrobatic kids seeking tips."
Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa, Mombasa
10/10 Excellent
"It was. All around perfect!!"
Premium Inn
10/10 Excellent
"The suite was very nice and clean. The water on first night was lukewarm. Was ridiculous how the person at reception said that if it was not fixed the next day they would give me a bucket of hot water!!! Breakfast also very mediocre. Location very good"
Leopard Beach Resort & Spa
8/10 Good
"Staff were exceptional and the villa was really spacious with a lovely pool. Food was OK, not as good as some other resorts of the same star rating. Lots of BBQ options and theme nights. We were AI and had breakfast at the small restaurant in the villa area, which was lovely. Lunch was better at the pool bar - suited our family needs with chips, burgers and pizzas. The villa had a few things that needed fixed and we had to ask for the fridges to be topped up. At dinner it was often a bit chaotic and they ran out of plates or cups. Or tables weren’t set. Little touches that stop it being the level expected from a 5 star resort. The entertainment team was good, with karaoke, acrobats and dancers as part of the evening offering. The main pool was good fun and not too busy. There were plenty sun loungers in the shade at the beach with access to the pool. As a single mum with 3 kids I was frequently asked where my husband was, which didn’t happen in Nairobi or the Masai Mara. The hawkers on the beach were obtrusive and we struggled with getting rid of them. There are organised beach activities with the entertainment team and it would be better to go on them rather than brave the beach yourself if you’re a single woman."
