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!

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.

Amazing experience at Ziwa!
Our stay at Ziwa Beach Resort was amazing! We had the room with a view to the ocean and the pool on the top floor and it was definitely worth it! The room was beautiful with wooden furniture. It was also kept very clean. Overall very comfortable room with a warm shower too. The pool area and the restaurant of the resort was a great place to hang out. The pool is pretty and clean. The restaurant only served vegetarian food, which was the best! They had local and international dishes and all were tasty and clean. The breakfast was also delicious. The garden at the resort was beautiful and well maintained. The staff was helpful and friendly. The place was not very busy when we visited so it was a great place to relax in peace an quiet. Also the beach next to the resort is awesome.

Not Impressed
We stayed at Ziwa Beach Resort for 8 days. There was problems with the wifi, no hot water and power outage for 3 to 4 days of our stay. I complained about this but Ziwa was not accommodating. No offer of a partial refund when we had no power or offering free nights. The price per night was decent but with no phone in the room, I had to walk to the front desk to complain

Thank you Ziwa
it was a great space, the balcony was just amazing. The room was spacious and comfortable. The cleaning of the place was okay, I think they can do better. The pool is awesome, a lovely breezy walk to the beach.. the food was just splendid, hands down. I didn’t know beforehand that’s it’s vegetarian but I definitely enjoyed all their food. I would definitely go back.

If and why the Electrically Stuff dies that fast is not really among them, but probably wrongly choosen!? To chase the Poolboy and hire an -unexperiencend- Constructor, was definately a wrong Decission! The Pool is nowadays Overtreated (the Guy don't know what he is doing!), Sand on Floor, burning Eyes, scratching Skin (..). PLEASE, hire someone experienced /train this Construction-Guy (it's mot an big Issue!)!
