We had a great stay at Whitesands! I have been many times and it never disappoints. Great to see the upgrades to the hotel. The room was very comfortable, the amenities were fantastic, and the food was great as always. The kids loved the kids club and all the staff were so attentive to them - definitely a great place for kids. We will be back!

This is a beautiful sprawling property right along the beach. My room was clean and comfortable, spacious and well-appointed. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and helpful when needed. The dinner and breakfast buffets are excellent and sumptuous with a wide variety of choices (minus the monkey stealing the apple from my breakfast plate). This is a place worth staying in and coming back to.

Good hotel right on the beach, with a varied setup of different pools, 4 restaurants and a beach bar called Coco's. Stayed for 8 nights. Good service standards throughout, but the all the staff at Coco's were particularly great. Will absolutely consider going back. Only slight downside is there are very few restaurants in the near area outside the hotel itself. For that, a quick and cheap Uber ride on the terrible gravel dirt road over to Nyali is recommended.

First and foremost I would like to thank Lucy and her team for an excellent stay! We faced some challenges, however Lucy went out of her way to ensure all was up to par and truly made it seamless! The resort was absolutely stunning! The staff made it feel like home and Lucu was the cherry on top! Due to her, our trip was incredible and I cannot thank her and the team enough! Highly recommend the place!

Our stay at Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa was memorable, thanks in large part to Mr. Peter, the resort driver. He was waiting for us when we arrived at the Mombasa train terminal and immediately made us feel welcome. He was extremely friendly, taught us a little Swahili, and shared interesting facts about Mombasa’s history as we drove past various locations on the way to the resort. If possible, request Mr. Peter as your driver—he is the best! We also loved dining at Thai-Ci and we ate there every day. Our favorites were the tempura shrimp and wok chicken with fried rice. We paid for our shuttle from train station in advance. My husband and I requested an update on the $59 credit at least three times, and each time we were told that the staff were checking on it. At checkout, we were informed that we needed to pay for our transportation back to the train station. I asked whether our credit could be applied, and they agreed. The standard shuttle cost was $40, but we were not offered the remaining $19 balance. In short, the all-inclusive package covers only a one-way pickup from Mombasa Airport; train-station transfers may involve additional charges, so confirm the arrangements and any credits in advance. Bring plenty of Kenyan shillings for tips because the resort does not have an ATM, and there is not one nearby. Also, our room was very hot, and we were unable to adjust the temperature to and there were no fan in our suite.
