Me any my partner stayed at Nomad for a 5 day that started just after Christmas and ended just after new year. We had a very warm welcome at the hotel and the cold flannels on arrival were a god send in the midday heat. Our room was generously proportioned and luxurious with a huge bathroom and a spacious balcony including day beds. The staff at the hotel are all very friendly, making all of their guests feel like individuals and they do all that they can to try and make your stay special and...

My wife and I travelling to the SSL to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary having been engaged in Kenya in 1994. The hotel exceeded our expectations in every department. Pre visit the communication was extremely efficient and prompt. Throughout our stay everyone was friendly and professional. The hotel is spotlessly clean and well maintained. The environmental projects are well thought through, encouraged and managed. The food was excellent with a large variety and quality. We particularly...

We absolutely loved this hotel. We stayed for 2 night but wish we had stayed longer. Everything was exceptional- from the welcome drinks on arrival, to the spa services, the vast options for breakfast and dinner buffet, the afternoon tea included as part of the half board option, the amazing song and dance we received at dinner for our honeymoon, the great views and the spacious rooms. They even decorated our room as they knew this was part of our honeymoon trip. Honestly, this looked and felt...

Ocean Beach Resort & Spa

Malindi

8/10 Good

The first night we were placed at another location nearby in a low standard room despite the superior room booking paid 2 months in advance. The manager was not fully clear in his communication and only by escalating the issue we were able to avoid a 31st December celebration in a very poor room. Unexpected from a 5 star hotel. An upgrade to junior suite was provided. Room, ambiance, front desk people very pleasant. Buffet food not at the 5 star level. Restaurant much better. Wi-fi very weak in...

Southern Palms Beach Resort

Diani Beach

10/10 Excellent

I always wanted to come here as it has a similar name to another hotel in Barbados, which we stayed at for our honeymoon. My experience of this hotel is based on booking the slightly more expensive sea facing room. There are other pool facing or garden facing rooms, which are equally as delightful. I was extremely overjoyed when I was shown my room and indeed, it was a sea facing room with the sea about 30 metres or closer to my hotel balcony. I can see the sunrise over the sea horizon in the...
