This place is nothing like what the pictures depict. Firstly, the service is shocking. The reception is not friendly, impatient and bordering on unprofessional. The rooms are unpleasant, bed sheets are visibly old, Mombasa can be hot but the room bar-fridge is disconnected. So you can forget about

There were lots of issues in the hotel: the AC was not cooling, there was no internet, old bedsheets/towels, no phone, bread was served with a fly, etc. So we complained to the management, and they accommodated us in their other hotel, Cocoa Luxury, with a premium room and a complimentary extended stay for 4 hours. I feel this hotel needs a complete change.

I think they should close it down for renovation. Also, the pictures on the website are misleading and does not look like anyway near. Don’t book it.

The staff was excellent. I felt the price for the place was high in comparison to some other places in Mombasa. The room was smaller than expected. I enjoyed the pool, and food was good.

Incredibly pleasant and helpful staff. Great location with incredible views. Ability to take stroll along early mornings or evenings. Indian Ocean few feets away, so calming and constantly at your service providing the perfect cool down. Beautifully maintained public pool for your use.

Remarkable historic building with large rooms and spacious cool lounges, balconies and interior in Moroccan riad style. Staff were delightful (thank you Lilian for arranging so much our trip!), food delicious (thank you chef Bukari!) including breakfasts and dinners overlooking the beach and ocean. Amazing location with nice pool and in the right area for enjoying the ocean while exploring Mombasa. Unfortunately, however, the owners have neglected the building has been very neglected with the lovely fountains without water, everything dusty, towels with holes, etc. Lack of cleanliness / clearing food causes flies in the dining area. It's a real shame because this is a gem of a place. The owners need to give it the love that their staff do.

This is an older property, so there are some things that are not perfect. I would stay here again with no hesitation and actually would prefer this over a fancy hotel any day because I like the peace and quiet. We stayed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights. There was no crowd and no loud music. Again, perfect for me. The entire area was clean and safe. Parking was secure. The place is well off the main roads, so there is zero noise from traffic and the only foot traffic is on the beach. Very safe. This hotel is pretty far away from the other hotels, so the beach area was always quiet. The people who sell things are all around the other hotels. Walking distance if you want to see it, but we didnt have to deal with them non-stop, so we were able to relax. A/c was good, but we left the windows open and were very comfortable day and night (Early March). Maybe it was just the time of year, but we didnt see 1 mosquito. No screens on the windows and our bed didnt have a mosquito net....but we didnt need them either. We were on the top floor, beach side. Wifi was enough to check email, but not good enough for social media or streaming. Buy a mobile data package if you need it. SafariCom worked well for us. The hotel food was good and the staff was great. Zero complaints. Roberto's Italian restaurant is a must and is only a couple minutes away by car.

3 stjerner ikke 4,5 stjerner

Vi kjøpte oss en uke på et 4.5 stjernes hotell og forventet oss en uke med høy standar, her betalte vi en del mer for å få dette. Hotellet er overhode ikke et luksus hotell. Om 3 stjerner så er jeg snill. Rom 1: skittent og ødelagt møbler, ingen terrasse og klagde på dette. Fikk nytt rom med oppgradering, hjalp veldig på at terrasse var inklusivt, fortsatt slitent og dager uten varmt vann. Seng: ekstrem harde. + meget god renhold service med skifte av håndkle og i stand gjørende av rom både morgen og kveld, meget bra:-) Resepsjon : meget hyggelig og bra service. Svømmebasseng : ålreit område og rent vann, leite etter madrasser og håndkle for å legge seg på sol seng burde en ikke trenge. Resturant : noen middager var uspiselige, andre var himmelsk, de 2 middagene som var uspiselige var så dårlig at lammekjøtt var seigt, trevlete og ille, fikk noen kyllingretter som var fantastiske. Servering personal: ei som gjorde oppholdet som et eventyr og var på jobb kveld/dag for så å ha fri et døgn. Det andre døgnet var helt tragisk i forhold til ei som bare var til stede og ga faen i jobben. Servering ved bassenget var kun hun som gjorde oppholde som et eventyr som gjorde. Hotel eier: hyggelig fyr, som har tatt over hotellet for noen uker siden, fikk en hyggelig prat og jeg tror virkelig at over noen måneder er det store forandringer og et bedre sted å bo sånn miljø/service Anbefaler de å senke prisen til 3 stjerner pris i området så en får riktig hotell til rett pris

If you appreciate nonstop ocean views, clean/air conditioned rooms, helpful/gracious/professional staff, great food and a nice ocean breeze…you will love this resort. There was a view of the Indian Ocean from every step I took on the property (including both rooms I had) other than the wash room and the elevator. There are open sitting rooms and balconies on each floor that offer comfortable seating and more views of the Indian Ocean. If you require more…you can sit in the lobby, on the patio or at shaded tables on the lawn. The exchange between the ocean and the resort is so engaging and uninterrupted, I completely forgot the busy/noisy streets of Mombasa were a couple of hundred meters away. I came for a week and stayed two. The staff is: friendly, courteous and professional. The management is: available, interested, engaged and helpful without being intrusive. I could not have asked for more.
