We stayed here for 14 nights in Jan 25 and it was Brill.|It is the Friendliest Hotel we have ever stayed in .... credit to all. |Right from James the manager to the supervisors and then the staff, in all departments ..... bravo.|Shout outs to Lennox, Jacob, Patrick, Victor, Mike, Brian and Laurence. I know I've left loads out, basically everyone.|Ok, it could do with a coat of paint and maybe a bigger wardrobe, but it was fine, with African feel.|Food was varied and ample.|Cold, proper glasses and bottled beer, so no half pints of foam.|The rooms got sprayed for mosquito every night and nets put down. |Mike, the only animation man does the pool and tries to get the animation going. |Evening entertainment was very limited. We were away on safari 2 nights. Lots had no entertainment. Saw acrobats twice, local dancers once, one nlind musician once and that was it. Sadly Masi dancers were cancelled.|At one point there was only about 6 guests around the pool so ideal relax.|No beach brollies as tide comes up too far.|Pool mattresses comfy but needs more beds ..... had to get from sister hotel when 18 guests returned from safari.|Mike wanted 1500 for quick tuk tuk yo Kalifi and 2000 for drop and collect. It was 1000 total via reception for drop and collect.|Sports bar just opposite hotel as hotel bar shut 11pm and I wanted to see UK game that started then.|Kilifi about 15 mins in tuk tuk.|Mombassa journey long and chaotic at times.|Lovely beach . ... sellers hide or shelter under hotel coconut bar area ..... just say no, a few times and they leave you alone.|Sea about 28 degrees.|Lively 4 poster bed |Pool needs brollies for shade ..... none. |Shame coconut bar does not provide drinks after 6pm ..... it has lovely views.|Small but good good menu.|Had a problem with TV and air con. Lennox got both fixed straight away.|We travelled from Scotland so long hail but worth it.|We recommend this hotel.|Thank you all for a lovely holiday,...
Read moreWe were recommended Kilifi Bay Beach Resort by a friend and it did not disappoint, despite it being the low season for Kenyan coastal hotels. We had a garden room which had a separate bedroom for the our child, which was great. We could see the pool and the sea from our room and both were just a short walk away. There are two pools and both were very clean, although the top pool could do with some maintenance. The hotel has lots of nicely decorated options for passing away a lazy coastal afternoon, although there is no play area for kids - which was a negative for us, although the beach and pool helped compensate for this... we built sand castles under the the beach bar platform, jumped in the waves and mostly had the beach to ourselves. No hassling beach boys either. The main pool has a shallow area for children, but no barrier to the main deeper pool. We were on half board and the breakfast and supper buffet were fine.

Read moreWhat an amazing Christmas holiday with Kilifi Bay Beach Resort. Comfortable, clean rooms, nice food and amazing service.
When we first arrived there was a problem from our booking site (not the hotel) but the general manager James personally got involved and solved the whole thing.
The breakfast fare is the usual stuff, omelettes, fruit, sausages. Don't expect too much there. However the wait staff were really fantastic: Steve, Lizzy and John Kuchacha all took great care of us.
On Christmas Day they had a big Turkey dinner spread by the pool that was very special, with very good carolers.
Tip: the seaside rooms (#7-12) are definitely worth the extra money: breezy, sunrise views, right on the beach.
The two pools and the beachfront were very clean and not too busy. Again, don't expect Voyager / Sarova / Turtle Bay levels of fun, watersports or loungers, but still very nice.
The resort itself is on Bofa Rd / beach, about 1.5km North of Salty's.
Thank you for a wonderful...
