Mombasa Holidays from AU$589

I would like ice cream to be more readily available.

A really nice hotel, food is good, beach is beautiful room great

Stayed 3 nights in the beach cottage…the view is stunning and the cottage is very cozy…the first night suffered a bit from mosquito bites but the reception staff ensured the following nights mosquitos free. The beach is beautiful with soft white sand and falling asleep with the backdrop of the ocean waves was such a blessing.

Very welll kept and staff friendly

The descriptions available online were quite limited so we were not sure what to expect. We (2 couples, 2 kids) stayed in one of the Residences which was great - 3 large ensuite bedrooms and large living/dining area, but no kitchen facilities or dinnerware which was unusual if one assumes 3 couples or other group may be sharing the space. It is a private, stand alone building just a short walk to the main hotel and the pool was deep and good size. The beach in front of the hotel feels private and small with coral reef so one must walk around the corner for safer swimming. The reef itself extends far into the ocean and is a wonderland of life. Footwear is highly recommended as you are walking along coral, rocks and past urchins. The men all along the beach can be very pushy and will want to guide you along a trail to the end of the reef - in this (only this) respect, they were valuable and great with the children and safety, and expect to be paid. Some of the men in front of the hotel are organized, not working independently, but as part of semi 'organized crime'. Sad, but be alert. We only dined at Horizons and found breakfast and dinner quite good, but dinner was definitely on the pricey side for Kenya. I ordered a couple of cocktails at the pool bar and suggest that you order your alcohol and mixer separately. They automatically charge for doubles, and whatever is in the bottle does not match the label. Overall, we were very happy with our stay.
