This place is a tip. Staff were rude and sullen when we were there, and despite being the only family in residence, we were not allowed a 2 bedroom room. The 'events' specialist will do his very best to bully you into their overpriced excursions. Housekeeping pay no heed to the 'privacy' sign on the door and come in anyway,... More

The whole site where the Royal Reserve is located was amazing. It was calm, peaceful and the perfect place for us to relax. The swimming pool was clean and very big, well maintained. The room was very large and clean, almost like a holiday house with a nice living room, kitchen and bedrooms and bathrooms. Enough space for four of... More

This was our first time to Kenya, so didn't really know what to expect! We booked all of our trips through a very helpful Kenyan travel man who has a small business booking trips, he was excellent as he drove us everywhere and took us to the local restaurants, as we didn't want to eat in at the hotel as...

My husband and I stayed here in March 2012 for 2 weeks. The resort is very clean and tidy and the staff cannot do enough for you. We had a 2 bed apartment and this was very spacious, well equipped and had lots of character. The balcony was huge and the air con worked well. The food in the restaurant... More

You Have to remember that you are in East Africa. We stayed in the hotel for 2 weeks with a four day safari in the first week which was fabulous and organised for us by Julius K. Nzumbi of J.T(JULIUS TACT SAFARIS) jtsafaris@yahoo.com. The time we spent in the hotel was very pleasant, we preferred the pool by the beach... More

We have just returned from 2 weeks at Royal Reserve and had a fantastic time. The hotel is comfortable, clean, well equipped and welcoming. You do have to remember that you are on the East African coast not in a western city, so the infrastructure can look a little tired and the power drops out regularly. However, the generator kicks...

The rooms are very spacious, very well appointed and very clean. The staff is very nice, very considerate, very caring for customers. Great people. The Beach Boys are boys really unusual. Do not be afraid, they do not want to rob you, they just want to earn a decent living. If you trust them, they can organize for you unforgettable... More

I stayed for 8 days on an RCI exchange. On three of those days I went on safari so only really stayed 5 nights. I was based in the "old" part of the complex. The apartment was pretty good, it had everything one would need. When I was shown to the apartment I pointed out a lizard on the wall... More

Very comfortable and just great place to stay. I had a great time. Swimming in the pools, playing water polo, volleyball, playstation, water volleyball. Food is very good. Many varieties of food. Living is comfortable with the beach apartments having a great sea view. Air conditioned rooms but had great sleep at night on beach bed. The breeze is awesome.... More
