The shower water was very salty, the water from the shower was just pooling on the bathroom floor (slow drainage) and there was a lot of scratching in the ceiling boards at night, making it difficult to sleep.

The best part is the location and view from this resort to enjoy the wide view of open sea and the peaceful stay.. Its safe, beautiful and pleasant stay & love to watch the blue sea all around the clock whether its morning or evening or day or night. The food, the hospitality, the peaceful and safe stay make me crave to visit again and enjoy the surrounding at this resort again. Completely mesmerizing design that shows the personal touch of hardwork and thoughts for the complete resort. Must visit resort for me and i m gonna visit again for sure.

This place was amazing. The ambience and design was very coastal like with sea shells everywhere. It was right at the waterfront too and staff were very friendly and helpful. It was easily walkable to access other beaches and beach activities and the coral reef was accessible by boats from 10 am to like 2 pm. Malls were also just a 15 minute drive away. It was such a breath taking experience and I think this is where we shall always stay when we visit Mombasa again!

Value for money

Good hotel for the money (deluxe room with sea view) The room was big and I liked the balcony that had an outdoor kitchen so I could cook my own meals. (The hotel only offered vegetarian food.) I had breakfast included in the price and it was alright juice, coffee/tea, toast, omelette and a some fruits The hotel is powered with a generator which was shut down every day for a couple of hours so there was no power or water during that time The room had a good air conditioner

The best stay!

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Ziwa Beach resort from 20-24/4 2024 and it was the best! The rooms were Great; lots of room and air-con, a bathroom with hot water, a big bed with mosquito net, a large balcony and everything was very clean! Including the rest of the resort, there was nothing to put a finger on The pool was Nice, and the soroundings/decorations with all the plants, made you feel like you were in the jungle. The breakfast had all you needed; fresh made omelets, local foods, coffee, bread, fruit and more (and it was also good). We also had some food from the menu during the Day, which did not disapoint either! All the staff was very friendly, aware and serviceminded. We Will definately recomend Ziwa Beach resort to everyone, and come back again the next time we are in Mombasa.
