My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the beachfront location offers stunning views and the pool was clean and enjoyable, the state of the rooms left much to be desired. The food quality was unsatisfactory during my visit, which pushed me to eat elsewhere. It’s clear that some improvements are necessary to justify the price point.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the beachfront location and the spacious rooms with beautiful ocean views were a real highlight. However, the service was slower than expected and the dining options could use some improvement. Overall, it is a decent choice if you're looking for a relaxing getaway but be prepared for some imperfections.

I recently had a lovely stay at Mombasa Intercontinental, enjoying breathtaking ocean views from my balcony and a delightful buffet. The peaceful evenings spent by the pool were unforgettable. However, my brief experience at Mombasa Continental Resort was quite the opposite, with shocking cleanliness issues that made it unbearable. Overall, Mombasa Intercontinental stands out for its views and dining, while the other resort was a complete disappointment.

I had a lovely time staying at this hotel. The staff was very attentive and seemed genuinely focused on making my experience enjoyable. The location is excellent, with access to clean beaches. However, I found the dining options quite limited, especially for families, and some aspects of the room could use improvement, such as the cleanliness and amenities provided.

I had a wonderful stay at the Continental Beach Resort, where the staff made me feel truly welcomed and special. They had a fantastic view of the ocean from my room, and the service was top-notch, especially from people like Mr. Mambo and Esther Mwangi. However, I noticed that some areas of the hotel could use a little refurbishment, especially with some aspects of the dining experience. Overall, it was a memorable weekend, and I would definitely consider returning.
