The best part is the location and view from this resort to enjoy the wide view of open sea and the peaceful stay.. Its safe, beautiful and pleasant stay & love to watch the blue sea all around the clock whether its morning or evening or day or night.
The food, the hospitality, the peaceful and safe stay make me crave to visit again and enjoy the surrounding at this resort again.
Completely mesmerizing design that shows the personal touch of hardwork and thoughts for the complete resort.
Must visit resort for me and i m gonna visit again for sure.

This place was amazing. The ambience and design was very coastal like with sea shells everywhere. It was right at the waterfront too and staff were very friendly and helpful. It was easily walkable to access other beaches and beach activities and the coral reef was accessible by boats from 10 am to like 2 pm. Malls were also just a 15 minute drive away. It was such a breath taking experience and I think this is where we shall always stay when we visit Mombasa again!

The best stay!
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Ziwa Beach resort from 20-24/4 2024 and it was the best!
The rooms were Great; lots of room and air-con, a bathroom with hot water, a big bed with mosquito net, a large balcony and everything was very clean! Including the rest of the resort, there was nothing to put a finger on
The pool was Nice, and the soroundings/decorations with all the plants, made you feel like you were in the jungle.
The breakfast had all you needed; fresh made omelets, local foods, coffee, bread, fruit and more (and it was also good). We also had some food from the menu during the Day, which did not disapoint either!
All the staff was very friendly, aware and serviceminded.
We Will definately recomend Ziwa Beach resort to everyone, and come back again the next time we are in Mombasa.

I never complained at a hotel about anything, but this one I would'nt come back there. Bedsheets where stained, the room is full of mosquitos, no warm water in the shower/sink eventhough we complained three times. No WIFI in our block. The pool needs to be kept cleaner, breakfast is included but the choice is very small. Beach access is nice and the staff is friendly. The location is ok too. The concept of the hotel is cool but unfortunately the performance is bad.

Just pk
Our booking was not reflected in their system - maybe because of same day booking. Did cause some hassle during check-in. The room was basic, but ok. No proper hot water in the shower and the toilet did not flush. Breakfast was basic but acceptable (no meat; bacon, sausages, cold cut, etc. Neither no cheese). Staff were very friendly. The location is good - spot on the beach.

The shower water was very salty, the water from the shower was just pooling on the bathroom floor (slow drainage) and there was a lot of scratching in the ceiling boards at night, making it difficult to sleep.

Mattress could have used a cover you feel all the springs and contours with just a thin bedsheet. This place relies on “eco” brand to justify minimal service.
