I've recently returned from a week at Hemingways, and there were good and bad points but the good definately outweighed the bad. First the good points: The staff are amazing. So friendly, so kind, they remember your name and nothing is too much trouble. Ronald and George were especially great. The location is stunning - the beach is beautiful (although... more

One of the best run and located hotels on the Kenya coast. Well worth a visit, as well as a stunning beach! more

Unlike the previous reviewer, I found Hemingways to be the most welcoming, friendly and beatifully located hotel I've ever had the pleasure to stay at. The staff are a real credit to the hotel - they really can't do enough for you, and by the time we left, they really did feel like friends (not something I've ever experienced in... more

Sorry, this was awful. Felt like I was in Benidorm (although I have never been - best avoided) . No privacy, rooms too close. Standard room was average, you could be anywhere... Food ok, but the buffet with the 1980s English music was awful (they should have played wonderful african music, which they did when i requested it, - but... more

What a beautiful hotel in a beautiful location! My mother and I treated ourselves with a four night stay here after a work trip in Nakuru... and what a real treat it was! Idyllic, lush green gardens with thatched cottages leading down to a warm, coral-dotted, turquoise sea. We had a superior room in the new block which we really... more

We have just returned from a 9 night stay at Hemingways following a safari. This is a superb hotel for a relaxing break, with superb food and exceptionally friendly service from all departments. We stayed in a junior suite which was split level and extreemly comfortable. If you do consider this option just check that it has a balcony. Dinner... more

Leaving the Uk blanketed in snow it was a delight to arrive at Hemingways to warmth and beautiful surroundings. We had five nights here before moving on to a small boutique hotel and although we much enjoyed our stay, it was unexciting. The superior room was large and comfortable, although the lack of air conditioning in the bathroom a little... more

One can understand why the Kenya Tourist Board have awarded this resort 5 stars because of its Big Game fishing facilities, but frankly if you are not a fisherman, there is very little to do. The hotel is clean and comfortable but a little jaded. The thatched roof looking particularly tatty. On an international scale it would probably rate 3... more

My husand and I have just returned from this fabulous hotel. Staff are great fun and look after your every need. Food is fantastic - five stars to Omar and his staff! Rooms are large and comfortable and the beds are turned down every night with flowers put on the pillows. Do not miss the afternoon teas! Be prepared to... more
