Overall Ratings & Reviews Cowrie Shell Beach Apartments

The ambiance of the apartment eas made so nice by the wooden furniture. The worse thing was the quality if the dining service. The cooking was terrible and the servers were very slow. Also the many cats in the dining area was annoying. Otherwise it was fabulous, because everyone was very curtious.

A great place to stay and relax while having a beach just below. The have a great restaurant on site but prepare to wait as things are made to order. I had to wait to get soup for almost an hour. Otherwise, the property has a great and friendly staff. I surely recommend this location for a long or short stay.

Beach side on the quiet far end. Still best value for money IMHO. Walking distance to decent food. Nice beach walk. Cold beers at Blue Coconut and the entertainment is entertaining after a few drinks

For such a large complex it never felt overcrowded. The restaurant below has a great menu and live entertainment on set nights. Staff were friendly and efficient. Full size fridge and cooking facilities in room were good. Not the most modern or chic place, but very clean and affordable.

I will recommend this facility to anyone staying in the area.

The property administration was very helpful.

The proper is right on the beach. We love that. The swimming pool was very nice. Comfortable. The staff were helpful. Very pleasant people all around.

Nice apts fully equipped. The towels and pillows are a little tired, but clean and great location. Expedia has 2 options, do not use c3 Cowrie as that's not thru the front desk. Also, breakfast is not included, restaurant is now separately owned. All units have AC and works good.

Great value apartments right on the beach. Rooms are spacious and comfortable and staff friendly

Great place to stay. Comfortable well equipped apartment, friendly efficient staff, beautiful beach.

The bed was very hard - aircon. did not work - furnitures were very cheap and uncomfi.

Was a good stay service is good good lication

The refreshing coconut at check in was a pleasant surprise! The beach acces is also a plus

Bed was aweful - Felt like I was sleeping on the floor, but with the matress springs poking me in the ribs. Worst sleeps I've had in a long time. The studio apartment I was given was not in a great condition, A/C started to leak / Balcony door frames were coming of the wall and there was this weird smell in the studio flat. Staff were polite, but that's apart it, mainly focused there attention on those who they thought would tip them more, then those who they thought would not - Got better service from security staff at the gate then from front of house staff. Certain staff need to improve on there personal hygiene as well, in terms of smell. The beach apperently belong to the restaurant which isn't part of the hotel, so if you want a sunbed then you'll need to purchase a expensive meal or drink, irrelevant if your a guest of the hotel. So instead once you come into the beach take a right turn and walk for 5 minutes, you'll see a lot more nicer beachfront hotel cafes, which are worth the money, then this one. During the night you can hear security opening and closing the gate - Security is very weak compared to other Kenyan hotels I've stayed at. Would I come back and stay here agin? Never! Was it worth the money I spent at this hotel? No.

The property was fantastic, the stuff were so helpful and kind. I rily love the place and hoping to go back again in March. Very good place to relax, amazin.

The apartments felt like home away from home. I recommend especially for families with young children

Very quite place and clean.The staff were so kind and helpful.

Some hiccups but the staff were responsive enough to sort them out quickly, one minor issue is that you do notice the age creeping in their in room amenities like a TV with lines across the picture and worn out key card that needed to be remagnetized twice to work, but all in all a decent accommodation on a modest budget, would give it 3.9 🌟 /5

Delightful apartments with full range of services. Slight hiccup with power failure and staff were totally accommodating until failure was fixed. Great swimming pool and right on the beach. Very pleasant and clean environment Very accommodating when we wanted extra days and an extra child to stay. Only downside was that the lifts sometimes didn't work but gave me extra exercise by using the stairs so that was a bonus. And the boys loved the gym. Highly recommended and I will definitely be back.
