Myself and my wife Daisy recently honeymooned in Mombasa, Kenya.We stayed at the sun n sand resort,As every one said the beach boys and the locals is a must,book with them and visit the village,this is our story... Whilst we were out there we visited the Maweni Nursery School and were shocked and by the conditions that the children have to live, play and learn in.

We were touched by their plight and made a monetary donation to the school but we didn't feel that this was enough. We were... (read more)

Written on: 03/01/2010 by angela rigney (1 review written)

an amazing holiday, the kenyan people made my holiday, from the hotel staff, to the people in kikambala village. To experience africa you must step outside the hotel, drink end eat in the village and talk to the fantastic beach boys.Take a walk through the village and witness the poverty that these people live in; and yet the kindness and generous spirit will last a lifetime in your heart and mind.The safari and lodges are breathtaking. However, I wished I had booked my 3 day safari with the... (read more)

We had to move rooms four times, once when the ceiling caved in in the bathroom but there was no help from the first choice rep who said it was nothing to do with her as it was the hotel's responsibility.
We had a few power cuts but although the (noisy) generator cuts in there is not enough supply for the air conditioning. (read more)

Written on: 02/08/2008 by Jiti (1 review written)

To experience real Kenya life and culture, you have to step out of the hotel. This is were it is all happening and so much fun. The locals are very friendly and hospitable, and we made some very good friends. If you want to book safari, speak to the local businesses - they got us the same sarafi trip, the same safari tour vans and we stayed in the same safari lodges but they got us the best deal which was much less than the hotel or the holiday company offered.

Written on: 04/01/2008 by allij

Check in was long as rooms were not ready for arrival. Changed rooms three times as were not very clean. Food was excellent, with so much choice in main buffet, chinese good, but have to give special mention to the Outdoor Ranch BBQ, which was superb. Staff at hotel very friendly, especially our waitress who kept our table every night and treated us as a long lost friend. Entertainment was varied, and animation team worked hard. Safari was suberb and well worth the four hour road trip, even... (read more)

I find it difficult to recommend this hotel or the resort location on any level. The location is far from anywhere and a taxi ride costs a fortune for some strange reason leaving a feeling of being trapped in the resort. (read more)

Written on: 06/07/2007 by Piccasso

Kikambala can be a little out of the way for some people, but if you go to hotel with relaxation in mind, you will get it. Hotel needs a push at times to get things done, repairs etc, but see reception and it will be done. Generally the place scores very very highly for me. I personally have been going to this Hotel for 26 years. Enough said. (read more)

Written on: 29/06/2006 by kittenwoman (1 review written)

Just returned from a fabulous two weeks at the Sun and Sand Beach Resort in Kenya. The hotel was clean, had plenty to do (never managed to do all the things on offer), the food was well prepared, and there was a great choice (although a little more Kenyan / African food would have been nice).

I have loads I want to note down, so I will do it in sections:

Visa - Either get it before you go, or like another reviewer said take US dollars. They do not take Scottish Sterling or Kenyan Shilling... (read more)

Written on: 15/03/2006 by becky nutland (1 review written)

My boyfriend and I went to sun n sand in Kenya in march 2006. Gorgeous weather, the most friendly people around, lovely hotel and a million different things to do! The food is fantastic, buffet restaurant, Chinese, BBQ and Italian restaurants are all all-inclusive. There is also another a'la carte restaurant which you have to pay for, but we didn't feel the need to go to this restaurant, as the food in the other restaurants were gorgeous! We also did 2 safari's which we booked when we... (read more)

You must of been at a different place than me because i have just come back from sun n sands and the food was awful and the staff did nothing but ask for money even when you gave them money the service was terrible. Lots of people were complaining and some even walked out of the al a carte resturant. I loved Kenya but would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

No-one asked us for money - despite the fact that the people who worked there and their families were living in complete poverty. You just have to visit the village or the orphanage to see that. The food was good and all locally sourced, perhaps could have been more adventurous, but certainly not awful. Service was always good and the staff incredibly friendly. There English was excellent and put pay to my daily Swahili lesson from Mateous at the pool bar because I didn't get enough chance to practice! This is a lovely place made better by wonderful people.

We visited Sun n Sand back in 2002 and it was fantastic then! The people, the food, safaris the whole package we truly had the holiday of a lifetime! Last year we married in the caribbean and wanted our next holiday to celebrate our first anniversary no doubting in we both agreed a return visit to Sun n Sand. If anyone has a slightest apprehension on visting here don't just go. It is paradise and feels like you are really miles away from reality after a visit it affects you forever. My husband says its the only place that can make you laugh and cry within seconds! We cannot wait for our return trip in September to say Jambo once again to Kenya!

We went to this hotel in 2004 and everything about it was perfect. We had such a good time. the food was very good, we were there for Valentines, they put on a fantastic party for all the guests. Safari, wasini island and all local parks etc. Brilliant. All the local people were so helpfull. We never visit the same place twice as a rule we like th see new and different places and have travelled the world. but in February 2011 we will be returning to the Club Sun N Sand.
<br/>
<br/>We can't wait.
