Great location and very stunning property

To many bugs. I feel like the windows in the rooms should have a net so that they can be open and still keep bugs out. The beach wasn’t the best.

heerlijk hotel goeie faseliteiten lief personeel

ik vond het soms onduidelijk wat er hoorde bij de all inclusive formule bij bv het indische restaurant was niet duidelijk hoeveel je bij moest betalen en ook de drankjes bv ik zou dat duidelijker willen wij hebben bij het indische restaurant gegeten, was nog in verbouw fase dus bij het buffet restaurant, ik had verwacht dat daar geen bijbetaling voor was

Room 113 T spoilt my stay. It was smelly, damp amd just not suitable to use.

4.0

We liked the pools and restaurants. Spa was also great atmosphere.

One of the rooms to be specific room 113T was damp and the smell was too strong! They knew the room is not suitable for use but decided to shove us in there anyway! This is unacceptable! For a five star hotel, I expected clean rooms! The daily cleaning wasn’t great either. If you are booking Swahili Beach, make sure you mention about smelly rooms because that alone will spoil your stay. For the amount of money you pay , the accommodation should be top notch but ours was quite disappointing! Spoke to the manager but he wasn’t that bothered he got the money anyway! Apart from the smelly room(113T) , everything else was great. Swahili beach , sort out those rooms kindly. That was unacceptable smell! Thanks

Ein wunderschönes 5* Hotel mit verschiedenen guten Restaurants und wunderschöner Anlage. Sehr freundliches Personal und

10.0

Eine wunderschöne Hotelanlage abgestuft mit verschiedenen Pools bis zum Strand wunderschöne Zimmer (hatten eine Executive Suite 134m2). Sehr freundliches Personal und hilfsbereit.

Late Check-out bis maximal 11am ist für ein 5* Hotel zu wenig. Dass man für jede Stunde extra bezahlen muss ist schade.

Is Swahili Beach really a five-star hotel?
Yes. Its own classification data carries five stars; that rating, not a style label, is what puts a property in this collection.

Guests are required to show a photo ID and credit card upon check-in. Please note that all Special Requests are subject to availability and additional charges may apply.

Guests under the age of 18 can only check in with a parent or official guardian.

A deposit may be required at the property.
