Whitesands is an experience to be had. There is a very thin line between business and pleasure here. Superb facilities, beach bars restaurants, hotel entertainment. Cant wait for my next trip with my family just to unwind and forget the hustle for a while.... more

My husband & I stayed here from 6th to 20th October & had a fantastic time. Arrived early morning after a rubbish overnight flight with First Choice to Mombasa aiport & were through very quickly. We were pointed in the direction of our transfer coach for our transfer to the hotel. Our first impression was the hotel was huge! We... more

Arrived via Nairobi after one week safari to chill out. You can do as much or as little as you like. After breakfast in main restaurant, plenty of choice, did not see teenage daughters, apart from at pool, until after dinner in evening. Main restaurant for evening okay but tended to use Pasta Snack Bar. Putting flag up to top... more

Continuing on from (basic but clean,Jacaranda/ very homely Naivasha & Magnificent mara) Well the end of the safari phase came to quickly for our liking but now it was off to Nairobi airport for the 1 hour flight down to Mombassa and the Sarova Whitesands Hotel.

We have just returned back to the UK from Whitesands in Mombassa. The hotel was absolutely fantastic. The room was adequate, although a little dated, but to be honest for the time you spend in your room, it hardly mattered. Our cleaner Collins did a fabulouse job of keeping our room clean and tidy every day. The food was great,... more

While the natural surroundings are beautiful, this hotel is like an old movie star still trying to dine out on its good looks. The service here is horrible, especially since it is billed as a luxury resort. During three out of four meals, we had to literally seek out someone to get us drinks. When we order a bottle of... more

Stayed at this hotel from 24th July-7th August & what can I say....... WONDERFUL. The staff are a credit to the hotel, nothing is too much trouble for them and will go out of their way to help, everyone speaks very good english. The only little gripe we had is that the food in the mail resturant wasn't up to... more
