"The Penthouse is a blissful experience and if you need anything Gilbert will ensure your get it. We asked if he could get us snapper and vegetables for dinner and he organised for it to be delivered and grilled for us by an onsite chief. It was delicious 10/10 and we could continue our holiday without worrying about food. Swahili house is everything we were looking for, Diani beach experience but more peacful without the crowds. Thanks Gilbert "

"Expedia should know Nyali Luxury Suites doesn’t exist and the real name is The Palms. It cost me buchu $$ in taxi for the confusion in the late hours of night. The owner was stingy with the electric and lied to us and told us that the air-conditioning/hot water wasn’t working.She told us to be mindful of the kilowatts that we’re using.

Top Mombasa Hotel Reviews

CityBlue Creekside Hotel & Suites, Mombasa

10/10 Excellent

"Big and comfy rooms, staff was very helpful "

Leopard Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were amazing! We got upgraded to villa suite by the wonderful manager and very accommodating staff. Food was 8/10, could work on variety throughout the days so it’s not the same everytime but the meat stations changed everyday which was really nice! Entertainment was meh, Could really use improvement but overall experience was 8/10, would definitely recommend and return for a future visit!"

Southern Palms Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Property is very very big and right on the beach. I would say the biggest complaint is the wifi in the room is very weak and not that much better when you go around the property. Second, please put a window instead of a screen in the bathroom. We were next to the stairs and it’s just people walking around all hours of the night talking loudly and sliding their feet in their sandals on the ground. Third, it’s not really a complaint but the pool bar would be better if it was completely wrap around. We noticed it was always the same people that went to the pool from opening to close and just stay glued to the pool bar which means less room for other people."

Swahili Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"The spa was excellent, the ambiance of the resort is great It would have been helpful if breakfast was served until 11 AM not 10 AM, as you have to be out of your room by 10 The beach outside the hotel is dissapointing, but you can walk along for a few hundred metres and get the nice beach It was my girlfriends birthday whist we were there, they noticed and did two special treats for her All in all, a great experience, I really do recommend the seafood platter at the beach bar "

Nomad Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in room 23 which is like the penthouse suite. The balcony overlooks the ocean and was a wonderful place to watch the sunset. This is a lovely property. The landscaping is unique, the food is good, the bartender and staff are thoughtful and accommodating. Also, the spa was quiet, comfortable and relaxing."
