Ocean Beach Resort & Spa

AMAZING STAY IN A PARADISE THE MANAGER ROSEMARY IS GREAT SO PROFESSIONAL AND SO HELPFUL TO MAKE YOUR STAY WONDERFUL BECAUSE SHE REALIZES YOUR SPECIAL REQUESTES. ALL THE STAFF ARE AMAZING AND ALWAYS SMILE. REALLY I WANTED TO BOOK MORE DAYS BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. NEXT TIME. THANK YOU ROSEMARY TO MADE MY MOTHER’S BIRTHDAY AMAZING.

The rooms were wonderful in that they were quite spacious, the bathrooms were quite updated and the meeting rooms were adequate. There’s easy access to the beach which is always a great add. However, the food here was a let down, in terms of quality, taste and variety.

The place is fun to be, with very spacious rooms and excellent service. The swimming pools are well managed and the ocean view is spectacular. The staff are very courteous and professional. The food is somewhat average with limited variety. The management however portrayed poor communication, rigidity and poor customer relations.

Great place with a lovely ambience and friendly staffs. The food was excellent. Rooms were very huge with comfortable bed. The environment is so welcoming with no high atmosphere condition. we had a very awesome moment throughout our stay. I really do appreciate staffs like Rose , Karissa , Masabu , broda and the rest of the team.

First of all it is clear that this hotel is far from 5 stars. While the rooms (in fact cottages) are not bad (4/5 for me) and the hotel staff is very friendly (5/5 for me) the breakfast choice was dissatisfying (3/5 for me). The offer of fruit juices was limited to 2, while one always was watermelon and the other changed between mango and pineapple. The overall selection (fresh eggs, other English breakfast items) was o.k., but the offered variety was far from other 5 Star hotels I ever visited. There was as well a issue with small biting animals in the family pool. I don’t know whether this has been corrected after complaining because we were afterwards using the adults pool. Due to the nearby creek the beach is quite dirty and can’t be really used. There is not much nearby, so be prepared to have a drive of at least 15 minutes to Malindi restaurants. The restaurant was o.k. to good when eating á la carte but certainly not on 5 star Niveau. The prices for food and drinks were on the other hand reasonable. The evening buffet was never tempting. We were staying over New Year and the accommodation prices asked for were out of this world and in no relation to the services provided. So the hotel might be recommendable when you get good rates, you want to get a clean and quite comfortable room and want to hang out at the adult pool.

We spent 5 nights at Ocean Beach Resort and didn't want to leave! We had the most fantastic weather, although there were times when it was alarmingly hot, which meant we spent most of our midday time at the swimming pool relaxing on the extra-large and comfortable sun loungers under large shade umbrellas. The pool area is designed in such a way that it is easy to connect with other guests and families, which was a highlight for us. The hotel team deserve a very special mention: whether it was a casual lunch at the pool or the special occasion buffet dinner on New Year's Eve, there was an enormous effort made to move tables and chairs around to create different and exciting settings, all beautifully decorated. Our children just loved the huge and crystal clear pool. The pool attendants were very friendly and helpful and interacted well with all the children, providing inflatable tubes for playing on. The food was also very nicely presented and tasty, especially the buffet dinners. Some amazing and unique decorations such as a vase of 'flowers' made out of intricately carved potatoes and food colouring caught our eye. My husband is in a wheelchair and our room was very conveniently located a short distance from the main hotel buildings. The paths around and about are all wheelchair suitable and in fact the grounds in their entirety are pretty flat. All the main areas are very accessible. There was a step into the shower (which had grab rails); however, the hotel did provide a movable wooden ramp, but it was difficult to use it without assistance. Thankfully air-con in the rooms provided a welcome respite from the early January heat. The beach is expansive and quite beautiful, however it is a walk away from the hotel grounds, and there are noticeable currents pulling this way and that. We ventured out to the beach most late afternoons, which is when most others did the same. Lovely to see families, locals and tourists alike, enjoying the outdoors. I had a massage treatment at the in-house spa which was excellent. The spa room itself felt like a sanctuary. Make time for a swim in the spa pool afterwards. We were made to feel very welcome and would definitely choose to stay here again. A lovely, casual and friendly atmosphere. Thanks to all for the great service and the memorable stay!
