My family stayed here October last year for just over two weeks, my mum, my stepdad, me, my 2 brothers and my sister. We are all over 18! But 2 weeks before we went my stepdad was take ill and he could not come with us, it was touch and go weather we were going to go but we would get no money re-funded so we decided to go......I'm so glad we did it was the best holiday ever. We flew from Manchester airport, my mum had booked us premium seats on the plane but when we got to check in the plane didn't have a premium cabin but we still got all the perks and they would refund my mum when we arrived back(which they did) the journey was brilliant and went quite quickly. When we arrived everything ran smoothly and we got our coach to the hotel. The mombassa crossing is an experience. They say 1 hour 30mins transfer but that includes waiting for the ferry at the crossing and getting across so it's not that bad! We arrived at the hotel and we were amazed we were greeted by the animation team throwing Rose petals singing and playing instruments we also were given a cocktail, check ran smoothly, we asked for a bed to be put in my mums room so me and my sister could go in with her, so she wasnt on her own and that was done straight away, our bags were taken for us( they expect a tip) we settled in lovely! The food is amazing we eat sooo much! food all cooked fresh infront of you, we were staying the the kole kole so we went to that restraint everyday, the staff was brilliant and nothing is to much trouble, juma was the head waiter, but we also made friends with alex, benson and samual they were so friendly! The hotel setting is lovely we tried out all the pools but we stayed at the kole kole, the swim up bar is nice at the maradadi pool! The kole kole pool is an infinity pool and you are right on the beach! Always plenty of sunbeds and shade.We ended up making friends with the animation team willy, baya, kalumi, mary and Laureen along with all the others, they were great and had so much energy to keep going all day, we joined in with all the ativities, water polo, water arobics, volly ball and table tennis. We also did the beach walk with them which was lovely and we had a few swahili lessons. The shows in the evenings were amazing and they really put all they have into it, the lion king and mama Mia were the best! Make sure u see them. We went shopping to the markey down the beach( go down the beach turn left and there are stalls all set back up and ally way) make sure you barter!! We went on a safari with jt safaris it was well worth booking with him, we went to tasavo east and saw loads of the animals, it's an amazing experience!! We had no troubles when we were there. All I can say it was amazing could of stayed longer and would DEFINATLY go back! You have to go it's great :)
