Still best value for money IMHO. Walking distance to decent food. Nice beach walk. Cold beers at Blue Coconut and the entertainment is entertaining after a few drinks ##### DirkJan Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### William Dec 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication A great place to stay and relax while having a beach just below. The have a great restaurant on site but prepare to wait as things are made to order. I had to wait to get soup for almost an hour. Otherwise, the property has a great and friendly staff. I surely recommend this location for a long or short stay. ##### William Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judith Mar 9, 2024 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The proper is right on the beach.

Very pleasant people all around. ##### Judith Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Gavril Oct 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I had 2 consecutive pre-paid reservations of 4-5 days each. The room I was given had no hot water. The front desk people knew that and yet they gave me another room only after 3 days and after I threatened to cancel the 2nd reservation. Otherwise the room is OK and the cleaning crew works hard. The food is so-so. You have to wait a lot. In the last days I discovered that the mexican food was better cooked than other menus. The property is squeezed on a very narrow plot and the pool is retardedly designed and not safe. It is also exposed to sun only between 11 am to 1 pm. The neighboring plots are terrible! If I ever return to this place it will be because their rooms have a kitchenette. And only after the Malindi Road is done. ##### Gavril Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francis Anthony Dec 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication I reslly enjoyed my stay , thank you all so much ##### Francis Anthony Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### hussein Mar 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Good place to stay ##### hussein Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Josephus Jun 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication I will recommend this facility to anyone staying in the area. ##### Josephus Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Oct 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Best value beach hotel in Mombasa Great value apartments right on the beach.

The worse thing was the quality if the dining service. The cooking was terrible and the servers were very slow. Also the many cats in the dining area was annoying.

Worst sleeps I've had in a long time. The studio apartment I was given was not in a great condition, A/C started to leak / Balcony door frames were coming of the wall and there was this weird smell in the studio flat. Staff were polite, but that's apart it, mainly focused there attention on those who they thought would tip them more, then those who they thought would not - Got better service from security staff at the gate then from front of house staff. Certain staff need to improve on there personal hygiene as well, in terms of smell. The beach apperently belong to the restaurant which isn't part of the hotel, so if you want a sunbed then you'll need to purchase a expensive meal or drink, irrelevant if your a guest of the hotel. So instead once you come into the beach take a right turn and walk for 5 minutes, you'll see a lot more nicer beachfront hotel cafes, which are worth the money, then this one. During the night you can hear security opening and closing the gate - Security is very weak compared to other Kenyan hotels I've stayed at. Would I come back and stay here agin? Never! Was it worth the money I spent at this hotel? No. ##### Adam Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Gerhard Jan 12, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Ganz ordentlich Alles wieder mal gut, aber leider kein Moskitonetz vorhanden ! ##### Gerhard Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Fredrik Jan 4, 2020 Liked: Room comfort #### Bra och nĂ€ra mycket Bra hotell med trevlig personal.
