Old school class and service in spectacular surroundings.

It’s hard to find fault with this hotel. The staff could not be more friendly, efficient and attentive to your every need. The food was excellent with great variety and you really feel that you are valued and not just another guest. The staff really make you feel at home and very welcome. There is one main restaurant which serves a different buffet nightly which is excellent and one other restaurant on the beach so for those who like a large resort this might be on the small side. The rooms are spotlessly clean the only thing that could be improved upon are the bathrooms which need updating but were very clean with fresh towels daily. The beach is beautiful and the deck chair service is excellent, we found our towels on the chairs each morning ready for our arrival. Lunch is served on the lawn by the beach and the deck chair drink’s service is excellent. There is a newly installed Padel court which is fairly priced and easy to hire too. Everything about this hotel is charming from the immaculate grounds to the relaxed vibe. For anyone wanting a party hotel this is not for you as it is a quiet family style hotel but there is nightly entertainment from live music to acrobatic shows. We wouldn’t hesitate to book another fantastic stay at this lovely hotel.

Everything was excellent, the guest room bathrooms could do with an update but apart from that it’s faultless.

Nice resort but needs some improvement

The sea food restaurant is exceptional. The spa is superb and the 2 massage therapists I encountered were very talented. Enjoyed swimming in the ocean. The grounds are lovely and well maintained. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

The buffet style restaurant was OK. Few gluten free options. Always ran out of food so you had to stand around and wait for more food to arrive. I complained and spoke to the sous chef. She was courteous but I did not see much improvement. The hotel had a huge number of men lodging there from the HMS Lancaster. They were well behaved but dominated certain areas, like the pool. It was tough to go on a beach walk due to the hawkers. They were very persistent and this really was a huge negative for us. We complained to security but I got the impression there was not much they could do. The hawkers are not allowed to enter the resort so you are really on your own when you go for a beach walk or want to go swimming in the ocean.

Rundown dump stay away

Noting

Built in 1975, tired and a shame to the Serena group to have such a rundown shabby hotel. Far from the city, no room cards have to use a big old key with a huge wooden tag. Everything in the room old, room door lock was hard to ope, fridge was rattling and was loo sided. Toilet fittings were stained, from the shower heads to the fittings, mosquito net had holes, hard pillows, hard bed, no room water bottles, tv was grainy and had 6 channels, AC horrible and rattling, basically a dump. Wanted to use the business lounge and when directed it was shared with the medical room. The computers were so old and don’t load, gave up. Food was okay but watching the crows in the restaurant pecking at the food put me off. Went near the pool for food and some buns were placed on the table. A massive money jumped over my shoulder and took the food which was scary due to rabies.

Waiting always long for a long time in the breakfast and restaurant for coffee and butter. Buffet is good but anything you order takes really long time before you get it.

Superb location. We were surprisingly upgraded to a presidential suite, which was an amazing gesture by the hotel. Couldn't be happier ☺️

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff, and excellent breakfast!

Really enjoyed our stay! The staff are so friendly, and really go out of their way to ensure that you are well looked after at all times. We did the breakfast included option and the breakfast everyday was so amazing; one of the best breakfast buffets I have enjoyed in a while! The hotel itself is beautiful, and super clean.

Tea and Sympathy

The incredibly attentive staff, the space and cleanliness of the rooms, the food in the grill restaurant, the ping-pong and snooker tables, the tea at four o’clock

The weather but that’s not the Hotel’s fault

Peacefull stay, clean room, wonderful staff

Friendliness of staff Waiter who remembered the next morning that I had asked for toast the day before and offer it again Quiet, spacious pool / garden area as not packed with guests

Choice of food: as we did not eat outside the hotel we struggled to enjoy the meals 3x daily. Tried the seafood restaurant but we were the only guests and the food was okay but not more than that so we did not return. The other dinner option was a buffet for 3500 KES which I think is expensive for the selection offered, or room service. Until 15h there was also an a la carts menu which offered sufficient choice for lunch. Big number of crows made you keep an eye on your food at all times. They would watch you the moment your lunch or coffee (with cookie) arrived. Sometimes also monkeys. Waiters tried to chase them but they were back less than a minute later. Drinks took a long time: cappuccino at the pool would take 20-25 minutes although only a handful guests around and also wine seemed to be stored very far away from any location ordered. Although we enjoyed that the hotel was not packed, it seemed deserted at times. We were told rooms were occupied by conference guests. Beach is only a small strip without beach loungers. The moment you leave hotel grounds and access the sand local salesmen will come very close. It’s not possible to enjoy a walk on the beach as they will follow. Balcony door needs to be kept closed as monkeys are around. No problem but sliding door was difficult to handle (would not slide).

It was both comfortable and enjoyable.

For me, it fully met my expectations although these might just be average.

I am still struggling to find something.

Good!

There were wonderful activities each evening which kept us entertained.

The WiFi is so poor in the rooms. The waiters and waitresses at the dining area pay more attention to you if you are white. If you are black, expect mediocre service.

Good place

The location was really nice along with the staff. The staff was gracious enough to allow a complimentary extension to the room when our flight got delayed. The ground, along with the wild monkeys was something that my daughter enjoyed.

There was only one pool which was mostly full when half the resort was unoccupied. It was not bad right now, but that might be an issue during the peak season.

Fantastic relaxing time with no pressure

The location was superb wonderful gardens without being overcrowded over looking the sea, The staff were always attentive and looked after all of our needs as individuals not just another person. Breakfast was a casual affair no rush with a wonderful spread. A fantastic place to unwind and relax without the hustle and bustle of a big hotel

Very poor

Breakfast was decent

Poor service. Waited 1.5 hours to get my room ready. Folks were unbothered until I had checked in. I was told dinner was complimentary, I was charged for it the next day, basic dishonesty. The check in and check out process along with charges was simply disappointing.
