Approach: It is a good 40 minute drive from Mobassa central which involves about a 15-20 minute ferry. Our travel time from Mombassa normally was about 45-60 minutes. The drive may be a little uncomfrotable sans AC + certain sections of town prior to the ferry where we were requested to keep our windows shut and doors locked - this... More

We stayed here either side of a three day safari in April 2012. Throughout our stay we were made to feel very welcome by all the staff at the hotel. From the minute we turned up at reception to the minute we left the staff were fantastic, going above and beyond to ensure that we enjoyed our stay. The food... More

The staff were excellent and friendly. Sometimes C&B manager (Abdalla) would come and ask if we have any issues or if they can helps us with anything... More

We stayed here back in late 2011 and were amazed when we walked into the jaw-dropping lobby. However moments later we were nearly in tears when we opened our room door. Given the price paid for the "5 star" accommodation and the extra paid for the misleading "sea-facing" room (put it this way, I could have faced the sea from... More

A very good resort to spend time. The welcome drink when we arrived was really soothing, I haven't experienced it before!. The food was really good as we have both Indian & continental cuisine. We (my wife & kid) stayed in one of the garden facing room & it was quite good. The bathroom & of-course the room was kept... More

An excellent, well managed, friendly resort providing a good standard of facilities and food. After staying there in March we can honesty say that it was the best overall holiday we have had in the 20 years that we have been visiting Kenya. The only regret we had was that we did not find this resort years ago. As a... More
