Good Points

We loved this hotel. After a 7 night safari it was perfect for chilling out and doing nothing. It is much cheaper for drinks than the lodges on safari about £1 for a small Tusker Malt (you have to ask for this as they immediately give you the large bottle)
The beach is beautiful. The beach boys are not that bad really. Bargain hard though!! Once you visit their shop they leave you alone. The staff at the hotel are very nice! The New Years party was the best I have been to, so much effort was made, I felt quite bad!!! The rooms are very clean, the pool is amazing and you MUST book the Labanese restaurant, you pay extra but worth it as it is wonderful. Do the beach walk everyday at 10.30am but take water and sun cream!!
The beach is perfect because of the breeze.
Free dvd hire and most international Football games on live in the TV room.


Bad Points

People getting up at 4am to leave towels on the beds so they get taken pretty quickly which isn't the hotels fault.
The towels are either a bit musky or brand new so you get fluffy bits everywhere hahaha
You pay extra for the safe in your room, surely this should be free??
Things can get loud around the pool with activities but it is so big you can escape, depending on if you can find a free bed.


General Comments

During our stay the troubles with the elections began outside. The staff and management were excellent they were calm, keeping the tourists minds at rest. Excursions were canceled and we were told it would be best to remain inside the complex, which we were happy to do as it was so lovely.
Mombasa airport is very small and ran out of food in the only cafe, so take something with you especially if you have kids!
We would go back to Southern Palms it was excellent!!
Best holiday ever
