What Guests Say About Their Stay

Steven Robert

This was the most magical vacation and guesthouse that we have ever stayed at! The facilities are gorgeous and the staff is so sweet and accommodating (and always available) and we LOVED the big and beautiful pool. I think floating around in the water at night with the palm trees swaying above me was the most magical experience I have ever had. The hotel has wonderful gardens and is situated on a beautiful beach! Concerning the bad reviews- the guesthouse is located in a small town in East Africa and costs under $100 a night for an exotic beachfront guesthouse, I really don't understand why people expect the hotel to be a 5 star resort in California (you want that, you need to expect to pay for it). That means that power is going to go off every now and then (they ALWAYS got it to come back reasonably quickly!), the food is going to be African and take a little while because everything is fresh and often made to order and there may be a few bugs (though we never saw ANY! they were always cleaning and we found everything to be exceptionally clean) I have been a social worker in East Africa for 16 years, and I can say the food is going to be a transition for anyone arriving in the country- it isn't hygiene related, it is just going to be rough for some people who are coming into a new continent with different bacteria. Whenever we host teams, even for the teams that choose to ONLY eat at nice guesthouses and snacks that they brought, people will always get sick.

Sun Palm beach is really a great place to stay. As is Watamu! All staff were very (child)friendly. Only remarks would be the limited choice of food (non Italian alternatives were on the menu but not available during ou stay).

We stayed at the Sun Palm for 3 nights as a family of 5. The staff were very welcoming and showed us around the resort and were very accommodating with our needs. The resort is set on a fantastic beach with clear water and an abundance of interesting island/coves to discover. The room was excellent, spacious and clean. The buffet food was good with plenty of options, including pancakes for breakfast and pasta station for dinner, which kept our kids happy. The restaurant on site was also excellent for choice. The hotel catered for their Italian guests but as English speakers we were not left out and every effort was made to ensure we were involved especially during the evening shows. Would return again for another fully enjoyable holiday.

Check in went poorly as there was some confusion regarding a change in meal options. Then the room we were put in had a leaky A/C unit so we were moved to another room which we then had problems with the door lock. I have to say that with all of these minor problems they were rectified very quickly. I was surprised to find there was no refrigerator in the rooms but I should have checked the facilities provided. I dont know why they provide a tv when there in nothing you can watch on it and not even a communal tv where sports can be watched. We had opted for the dinner option for the first evening and on going to the restaurant where dinner was being served found a very limited variety of dishes available. After serving myself I returned to my table and started to eat only to find everything was cold. I asked my wife how her food was and she said hers was also cold. I then went and checked the baine maries and found they were all cold, well definitely not anywhere close to the 60 degrees Celsius they should be. I then complained about the cold food and pointed out that the possibility of food poisoning using cold baine maries was a real possibility. They then took my plate of food away and about five minutes later returned with the same plate of food and indicated it had been reheated, again a perfect recipe for food poisoning, but it was actually cold. I then left the restaurant and went to reception asking to see a supervisor or even better the manager. Not good

This property is not as shown on the website. It was a shabby room with black mold showing on the walls of the facility and in the outflow pipe to the AC. The bathroom is a mess, cracked vanity cracked and dirty molding on shower floor soiled by age tile floor. The room AC shut on and off many times during the hot tropic nights. The food started fine but later brought the gift of travelers disease (diarhea). This is not a 4 star hotel. The beach was 4 star. Who rates these resorts anyway? This was a most distressing stay after a 21hour flight. Expedia you should be ashamed and embarassed to represeent this resort.

Hotel very much. late check out until 16.00 cost $ 40. bedding and towels changed daily. English speaking staff. the food in the general restaurant is of good quality, but a small cockroach crawled along one of the salads. The à la carte restaurant on the menu offers Japanese, Italian and Swahili dishes. we chose Japanese and were shocked. instead of miso soup, we were served warm water with soy and instant noodles from the bag. Tempuri were edible, instead of sushi, we were served 3-4 kinds of rolls with a minimum amount of fish. The chief of restaurants Mario apologized for our remarks and wishes and gave us a 10% discount for which he thanks. very much straining beach boys on the beach, do not lag behind you for anything. the job of protecting the beach is only to prevent the beach boys from entering the beach area of the hotel, but they manage to impose their goods and services from there. but this is a problem of hotels all over the coast. in general, the hotel and its location is quite decent.

A beautiful places with superb service and a few minuses. Large and nice reception area with a great view of the garden and swimming pool. Got a nice room with an ok bathroom and good aircon, but the bed was really hard and no TV. The power went out a few times during our stay, but it wasn't a big deal. The breakfast was good and plentiful, but I missed some traditional breakfast products like cheese and jam. Unfortunately, some of the staff asked for "extra contributions" and that ruined the overall picture.

Struttura pessima e truffa!!! All'arrivo la prenotazione non c'era. Dopo aver contattato il servizio clienti, sono comparse le camere e ci è stato detto che era tutto a posto. Purtroppo non è stato così. Nelle camere non ha funzionato per giorni l'aria condizionata (nonostante diversi solleciti per sistemarla), l'acqua calda non è mai pervenuta. TUTTE le sere andava via la corrente e così non funzionava la pompa che tira acqua: non ci si lava . I ragazzi alla reception (senza uniforme, targhette di identificazione o altro) sono completamente spaesati e incapaci di dare una risposta concreta alle richieste di risolvere i problemi. La colazione altro tasto dolente: scarsa e di qualità pessima, con la sala sporca, l'omelette cotta su un fornello che dire incrostato è poco, e con gli ingredienti da poter aggiungere piazzati su un piatto tutti insieme alla rinfusa. La mancanza di organizzazione e di una gestione competente del luogo, evidentemente maltenuto, è lampante a questo punto. Il peggio si raggiunge dopo 4 giorni: ci dicono che non hanno ricevuto il pagamento delle stanze perchè gli account dell'hotel sono stati creati da un manager che non lavora più per loro da 5 anni e quindi non riescono ad accedere a prenotazioni e pagamenti. In modo estremamente arrogante e strafottente ci viene richiesto di pagare nuovamente tutto, perchè loro non hanno colpe e non hanno intenzione di fare nulla. Chiesto rimborso e fuggiti in un'altra struttura. ALLA LARGA!!!!
