Kilua Residences by CityBlue, Mombasa

8/10 Good

"This was my 2nd time staying here, I actually used this opportunity to propose to my girlfriend here!! The only reason why I cannot in good faith give it a complete EXCELLENT, is because the recreation room (Gym) needs a MAJOR UPGRADE. This is the only thing holding me back. I have all the faith in the world that you guys will address this issue expeditiously as I have EVERY intention on returning back to THIS property at the 1st available opportunity"

Voyager Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Some of the rooms and bathrooms were not in good shape and badly needed painting and freshening up. Also the tv did not work with no smart tvs and the internet was very slow. The bed was good however. Pools were great and beach access excellent and the food was good so was able to enjoy the hotel regardless of a poor room. Overall good time!"
