8/10 Good
"The staff were great and the food was great. Room condition was worn. Closet light flashed like a strobe light, there were many missing lights, shower had a great overhead shower head but you had to fight the engagement knob to get it to get it to work. And then there were the cats that hung out at your feed when you were eating mewing continually. See photo. The food was great and the pool was amazing."

10/10 Excellent
"We had come to this resort after dealing with another nightmare of a resort. Our stay here salvaged our trip. The staff were amazing, our room was amazing l, the food was amazing. The only complaint I would have is that everything we would go to the buffet someone would steal our table. The staff were again great with removing the persons or getting us a new table. The breakfast buffet had some very good choices. There are almost a couple restaurants on the property. Unfortunately for our stay we weren't able to make it to the Spice Route. The resort is also close to some local shopping. It was nice to get out and explore. I can't say enough about the staff. From the check in experience to the the check out, I'm horrible with names, there are so many people I would like to thank by name, but I can't remember their names. Charles our room steward was the only one I remember. Would definitely stay here again."

"Breakfast was amazing with great variety, delicious with fresh & healthy choices. The hotel grounds are well maintained. Security is very good, direct access to a private beach. The seafront walk after meals is simply breathtaking. The service by the entire staff team was exceptional, their thoughtfulness beat our imagination, trustworthy team. If time had allowed us we would have extended our stay, however the good thing is that we intend to return to Mombasa and stay at the same hotel. Of special mention is Eric - head of security, Emily and Maria at reception, Charles & Francis maintenance staff, who all added to the wonderful experience. Unable to mention everyone aside being grateful to every staff who attended to us. Please keep the excellent service up."

"I have stayed at the Serena several times over the past 20 years. In fact, of the 80 countries I have visited the Serena in Mombasa is still my favorite place in the world. The staff, including front dest staff (namely, Althuman) and the wait staff are outstanding. Many are long-term staff who have obviously been well-trained in customer service. The Maisha Spa is always worth a visit. The property is beginning to show signs of aging so I hope there are plans to upgrade it, while not loosing its Swahili Coast charm. I have been a fan for a long time and will be back again!"
