What to expect for real.  Rating 3 stars (Going on 4 stars)

Bamburi Staff. Best we have ever encountered. Absolutely fantastic!!!!!

Bamburi Decor. Not bad for 3 star, much better than some of the so called 4 star places we have seen.

Bamburi Food. Excellent, though they do hiccup sometimes.

Bamburi Facilities.  The 2 pools are quite good, the gym is great and other on site facilities are good.

This hotel is always booked up, often by those that come back year after year. So that speaks for itself. Thoroughly recommended for family or couples. There is something for everyone. Fronts onto the beautiful Bamburi beach with activities.

Its our favourite beach hotel, outstripping the more expensive golfers White Sands for quality of service and friendliness.

The Bamburi beach hotel is conveniently located on the north coast of Kenya and its main international airport at Mombasa. This hotel facility offers the All Inclusive concept and is set amid lush tropical gardens, with extensive white sandy beaches overlooking the beautiful Indian Ocean.

Very close to the hotel, the eco-friendly Bamburi Nature trail lies across the creek that separates the island of Mombasa from the north coast of Kenya, crossing the Nyali area. The Trail is a somewhat unique development in that huge tracts of land were carved up to supply raw material for the cement factory - old coral. Conservation issues are hugely important nowadays. These areas are no longer used by the factory and instead have been given back to nature. Assisted in part by the factory itself this area has been re-developed - and now covers many acres of pools, trees, grasses, and lately - fauna. This is an ongoing process and as time passed more animals resulting in a pleasant environment once degraded.

The property is in an ideal location to offer visitors easy access to facilities close by shopping, seeking arts and crafts, entertainment and a range of tours and activities to be enjoyed on the coast, or inland to the famous wildlifes areas of the country.

Traveler Reviews:

Unfortunately, we would have loved to have experienced the beach and its surroundings but were not able to do so as we were constantly being harassed by the beach vendors. They were friendly but would not leave us alone despite our numerous attempts at telling them so.

We had never been to Kenya before and did not know what to expect......we did not however expect what we saw! The hotel backed onto the beach and as soon as you came within a few feet of the beach peddlers we jostling for your attention to buy this and that

Catering & cleaning staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel was clean and what one would expect of a three star. As a couple that travels on five holidays a year, I rate this one as Good. Food was excellent too, and a good variety of Indian, Italian, fish, meat, and tropical fruit dishes. Entertainment over Easter was fantastic.

You get what you pay for three star quality from a three star hotel. suitable for people that just want to chill out.

The location of the hotel was lovely, however you could not step foot on the beach without being continually hassled by the local beach boys trying to sell stuff.

I would say that, overall, this was an average hotel in terms of comfort. We had a very disappointing room tucked away by the beauty salon (our ticket stated 'Sea View' - which was true if you stood at one side of the patio on tippy toes!!). It was cleaned daily but the fixtures and fittings are really tired. Friends we met at the hotel had much better and bigger rooms with 'Real' Sea Views.

Hotel rooms are a little tired but the rest is v good.Food was way above 3star.Staff attentive & helpful.Pool & bar excellent.

The staff are an absolute asset to this hotel they are very friendly, warm, polite and pay attention to detail, they have knack for making you feel special. The food is good, a great variety of dishes, Cocktails not so good. The animation team are great. I learnt how to play water volleyball despite not being able to swim.

I stayed at the Bamburi Beach Hotel in April 2009 and we had the most amazing time! Our room was lovely, we had a double bed plus a single bed and a balcony that looked out over the pool area and the beach. A great view to wake up to every morning! The bedding and towels were changed daily and we had no complaints regarding smells or threadbare sheets. The food was buffet style but there were always lots of things to choose from. There was a bbq section that had different meats every day.

Very friendly staff, from morning right through to evening time. Always greeted with a smile and 'Jambo'. great food!
