Reviewed By proprivacye

Our room was lovely, the staff and service was prompt, cheerful and attentive. The food was so well done, and again the staff was incredibly helpful with recommendations and service. The lodge itself is a treat for the eyes, with excellent access to a quiet beach strip. Our stay was relatively short this time, we will definitely be going back for a longer stay next month.

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.

Reviewed By Captain-Sherm

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.

Polite staff, very clean hotel

Reviewed By salimmF2170IA

Staff are super polite and accommodating. All areas of the hotel are well kept and organized. Rooms are very spacious with good views. Bed is too comfortable and the foam pillows...OMG! Restaurant area is a little small and can get quite hot and humid, breakfast variety is limited. Big shout out to front office staff - Kelvin and Diana. Kelvin is ALWAYS smiling and ready to help. All in all, service, ambience and the general feel of the hotel is quite warm.

The room had a sea view, with air conditioning and was cleaned daily. The shower was strong and hot.All staff were very friendly including the manager and we were regularly checked upon to see if we were happy. The pool was lovely with a nice bar and plenty of sun beds.Thanks to everyone at the Plaza for a great stay. We will definitely be returning!!

Dissatisfied - poor

Reviewed By mountleader1

This hotel offers a good price , but the reasons are evident in their service Firstly the location is poor - it is away from the main amenities in Shanzu , and it is difficult to get a Boda, Tuk Tuk or Taxi , the hotel are not helpful in assisting . Rooms - mine was not fit to give to a guest. Aircon was not working , Tv faulty and WiFi not working . The Maintenance engineer turned out to be member of the Housekeeping team ?! The rooms also have poor soundproofing Experienced water issues and the reception is often not attended . When requested to see the Manager he was never there ? Security used to be good ' Texas ' ( Professional ) but now the current crew seem lost - cost cutting ? They advertise a private beach but do not have one Finally if your signing for drinks at the bar , check the receipts carefully - don't be surprised if drinks have been added !

Papillon Beach Apartments

Best to Avoid.

Reviewed By Bushido_Black

The place is too run down to consider any form of decent stay there. For those looking for accommodation, it's best to give the place a wide berth. Only 1 socket in the room that serves the small television. Dirty linen. The room I slept in had some weird droppings on the bed sheets every 30 minutes. At first, I thought it was bedbugs only to find out that the wooden ceiling board was being eaten away by some bugs. The place should be shut down and renovated already.
