10 Resorts in Mombasa: Best hotel deals for 2023

May 4, 2023 Leida Jutras

Mombasa, with a population of 900,000, is no sleepy seaside village. Its beachfront hotels appeal to travelers in search of sun, sand and surf, while its Arab, Indian and colonial European heritage makes for a wide variety of sights to see. Can't find a taxi? Travel by tuk-tuk, a three-wheeled auto rickshaw.

Family holiday done right

Reviewed By daniellem2

We spent 4 wonderful nights at Whitesands as a family of 3. The weather was the only disappointment on our stay and the Sarova team went above and beyond to make sure we still enjoyed our stay. Food is delicious and plentiful, definitely something for everyone. With 4 swimming pools to choose from there is a quiet space when you need one. Rooms were spacious, newly renovated and fully equipped. The best part was the all day kids club. Our daughter woke up begging to go to kids club. The animation team led by Kai keeps the kids busy all day giving parents much needed R&R. I now know why so many people rave about Whitesands. We’ll be back soon for another visit.

Wonderful place - thoroughly recommend

Reviewed By helen56789406

A fantastic hotel and we had a wonderful experience staying there. From John, the driver who collected us from the airport, through to Joyce, Monica, Sossy and others in the restaurant, the wonderful team by the pool (Hi Christopher!) and the room staff, gardeners and security - what a friendly, organised and happy team! We really wanted for nothing. We visited with our 18 month old daughter and spent 6 glorious days at the hotel at the end of May. We were relaxing by the pool, chilling on the beach, eating the most fabulous food and I also had one of the best massages I ever had. Our daughter had the time of her life - thank you to all chefs particularly for being to friendly and kind to her, and for making her off menu lunch everyday. And to the restaurant staff who were always interacting with her and playing with her. You all made our trip so much fun and so memorable. The site is beautiful, the gardens are stunning but the best thing about Serena is the staff. They really are outstanding - authentic, kind, helpful and so full of happiness and energy! Thank you all very much.

A lovely beachfront gem

Reviewed By Oleny S

Neptune Mombasa is a magical special place that speaks to your soul! Its scenic views of the sea are unforgettable. Here, it is the little touches that make the big difference. This cuts across from the tiny details in the exterior and interior design of the property to the good service levels provided by the highly trained host team. They are very enthusiastic, know and love their country, and shared it with us and other travellers with such pride. One of the things I really liked about this property is the personal touch and friendliness of its owners. Despite having a busy schedule, they were more than happy to personally welcome us into their place. You can start your day here with a refreshing cup of Kenyan tea of coffee as you watch the sun rise and birds sing joyfully. The food is fresh, inventive and full of flavor. Thanks to the hotel’s location within easy reach from Mombasa town, it is possible for adventurers to do city tours and shopping.

From the second I arrived I immediately could tell the staff appreciated you. Yes, it’s Kenya but the hotel was just fine. I felt like I was in the Jungle. Also, it is beach front on the Indian Ocean - so beautiful. When I’m in Mombassa this is where I’ll stay for sure. Big thanks to Nick and Victor and the entire staff for making this a memorable time.
