Bamburi Beach  T rating: 1

 

An introduction to Bamburi Beach

With masses of white sand, Arabian-style architecture and the hot sun beating down on you, you could be forgiven for thinking you're in Morocco. Don't worry though - you haven't boarded the wrong plane! They're not desert sands but a silky-soft beach on Kenya's tropical coast. And from the moment you arrive at this pretty hotel you'll be in no doubt that the beautiful beach is just the tip of the holiday iceberg. Cue friendly staff who will do their utmost to ensure you have the experience of a lifetime. Fabulous views, even from the ground floor rooms. And a tropical oasis of a swimming pool. This lagoon-style pool is just footsteps from the sun-blonded beach - so you can spend hours relaxing under the coconut palms that pepper the sun terrace before nipping across the sand to paddle in the sun-warmed sea. If you fancy something a little quieter, there's a smaller pool at the back of the hotel where you can soak up some of the rays in peace. Hungry? There's a fantastic choice of eateries here. From buffet to a la carte, they've got it all. If you like seafood, try the a la carte Fisherman's Cave restaurant – you'll be in foodie heaven courtesy of seafood on a platter. After dinner, why not sit back and drink in the stunning view across the Indian Ocean as you enjoy a fruity cocktail. It'll be a holiday to remember at Bamburi Beach hotel.

I totally agree with Lynne (Dec. reveiw)
There was a party of 6 of us - sorry five and this was our second visit to this hotel and we are going again sometime in 2007. It was amazing - the people of Mombasa and surrounding area's have nothing... more on this review
