Resort had positives and negatives. Encountered wi-fi issues for 6 days before they sorted it out. The cupboards in the room did not shut, and the todt seat was loose but fixed eventually. Food generally was good on a half board basis. The staff were the resl stars of this resort. The beach setting is trully amazing. I would say the owners need to make investment into the property to stay competitive.

My wife and I, along with our 10-month-old baby, had the pleasure of staying at Southern Palms in Mombasa in September 2024, and it was an absolutely delightful experience.
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality.
We were made to feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The food at the resort was nothing short of amazing – we truly could spend the entire day indulging in the variety of delicious offerings.
We would like to acknowledge the incredible staff who made our stay extra special:
- John (porter) for his cheerful welcome and helpful nature.
- Walter in the buffet restaurant, who went above and beyond to ensure our baby was comfortable and happy during meal times.
- Rodgers for his friendly greetings every evening at dinner.
- Winnie for taking the time to play with our baby and keeping him entertained, adding a personal touch to every meal.
- Defence, whom we have a special thanks for. She made sure all of our baby’s meals were prepared exactly as needed with fresh ingredients, showing genuine care for his well-being.
- Elias for his warm hospitality at the restaurant.
- Katherine for her bubbly personality and always having fresh fruit ready for our baby.
- Sande from housekeeping, who was incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
- Benjamin for helping us with beach beds and providing such friendly service

This hotel has the most amazing food and staff!
Indian vegetarian plus no onion and garlic food also available , fully cater for the Indians , and not forgetting a vast range on European, continental Chinese, Italian , they have it all!!
Rooms are a little dated , but how
Much time do you spend in them anyway ?
If you don’t like noise , ask for a room away from where the entertainment is every night , it can get loud! Also be wary of any weddings that might be happening as this can take over the resort and it’s not a problem but you might not get any peace and quiet.
Beach is beautiful! There’s beach boys selling stuff , remember to haggle.
There is also some girls on the beach from a hut a bit further along the beach on the left who do the most amazing massages and cheap! You can hear the waves !That’s if you don’t want to use the resort facilities.
All in all a great resort with lots of options! Even though we had a few niggles it didn’t spoil the beach time we so desperate craved !

The hotel is alright,maybe not 4 stars,more like 3. Pools were quite dirty,the water was greyish ( you couldn't see the bottom) and they let people swim with clothes on(!),someone even had shoes on while swimming. Food was ok..not a lot options for children at the dinner. At the dinner many times we got our drinks after we've already eaten,so quite slow service. Evening entertainment was really nice and fun. Room was okay,some parts of the room oldish but the bed was good. We got one big problem when the hotel let scam taxi driver in to the hotel,who lied about being our ordered driver. So we got up for wrong taxi who wanted us to pay when we discovered he was not our driver. We was able to sorted out but the hotel should pay more attention who they let inside the hotel.

We had an amazing stay at this resort. The place was clean and VERY well kept. Staff was plentiful and all made sure that we were comfortable and happy. Rooms were good size and supplied with drinking water, refrigerator, safe, etc. The food was all-inclusive including alcoholic beverages. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, BBQ, all served on time with lots of choices. There were seven of us with different tastes, allergies, and dietary requirements and the menu met all of them. They served plenty of fresh fruit, egg free breads/desserts (a couple of people in our group could not have eggs and were happy to see a choice of items without them), meat choices, and vegetarian dishes as well. Fresh juices with every meal (pineapple being my favorite). There’s a pizza station, ice cream station, and a bar near one of the many pools. The grounds were well kept, pool kept clean, water aerobics sessions were fun, and nightly entertainment, along with a beautiful beach. This is not a new property but WE ENJOYED ourselves and would return. Also, treat yourself to a “four hands body massage “ where two massage therapist work on you at the same time- WONDERFUL!!!

Good food, pool area and beach. Decent rooms.
Most staff were friendly, but we were not satisfied at all with the “service” from the manager called Anderson. Very unhelpful and was not willing to search for solutions to a small problem we had.
