We stayed with colleagues on a company retreat, as part of a larger group. I loved my room, very clean and spacious, and a comfortable bed. It overlooked the ocean which was great. I also really enjoyed the swimming pool, though I wished it was a bit bigger. We all didn't like the food. The fruits were not fresh, and... More

Having just returned from 3 weeks at Jacaranda Indian Ocean Beach Resort booked with Somak I cannot praise it enough. I had read some negative reports before we went and was so glad we ingnored them! The rooms were clean and spacious with the most amazing sea view. It was great to wake up to the sound of the waves,... More

We have been back for just over a week and we are still raving about this FANTASTIC holiday. We booked into the Indian Ocean Hotel and had a wonderful time. The hospitality was 100% and they all made us very welcome. On arrival after a very exhausting journey from the airport, we were greeted with smiles and a nice fresh... More

I stayed here on a weekend break after working in Nairobi. I was by myself and the staff took me under their wing, showed me around, walked with me, took me on tours even occupied me while I was dining alone! They even managed to organise a telephone call to Australia free of charge! They may have confused my names... More

After checking out the website, I was excited and I hoped that the reality would live-up to the picture painted by the website. It certainly did and much much more. The Jacaranda Indian Ocean Beach Club is about an hour from the airport (with no traffic),... More

I stayed at this resort in 2005 and loved it so much I stayed again in 2007. The hotel was once glorious and one of the nicest hotels in south Mombasa. I booked it this January for my honeymoon and was SOOooo disappointed in how far it had gone downhill. The rooms used to be beautiful and sparkling, but they... More

On arrival we received a warm welcome and were quickly shown to our room (Room 241). We had booked a club ocean facing room, which turned out to be just the... More
