Good Points: Friendly staff. Good facilities. Other guests friendly and helpful, talk to them before booking through the rep!
Bad Points: Hotel shops very expensive-buy in the local village shops. First choice trips and safaris very expensive compared to the beach boys or the village for the same trips with the same transport etc.
General comments: 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.

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.

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 tho ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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 arrived, 1 ...
