Albert on the was absolutely amazing! He created a custom mocktail just for me, and it tasted incredible—perfectly balanced, refreshing, and full of flavor. What made the experience even better was Albert’s positive attitude and genuine hospitality. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right without ever being pushy. It’s rare to find someone who combines creativity with such great service, but Albert nailed it. If you’re looking for an unforgettable drink and a welcoming experience, definitely ask for Albert—you won’t be disappointed!

The hotel has been beautifully preserved in its original architecture, without the distortion of excessive renovations or obstructive additional buildings. It may not be the coziest of the beach row properties, but it offers a classic, conservative charm that appeals to those who value heritage and authenticity. The experience is serene and unhurried: taking a plunge in the pool, strolling through the not-so-crowded gardens shaded by coconut palms, or simply relaxing in the calm atmosphere. The variety of meals on offer is impressive, with real culinary delights that cater to different tastes. The resort also boasts one of the longest beach fronts in the area, where you can soak up the sun, enjoy a swim along the sandy white shoreline, and watch the ocean at your leisure.

I had an amazing stay at Serena Beach Resort & Spa. From the moment I arrived, everything was perfect – the warm welcome, the beautiful surroundings, and the excellent service throughout. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the food is fresh and delicious, and the beach atmosphere is simply breathtaking. Special thanks to Romano, Cecilia, Zawadi, and Mike for their outstanding hospitality. Romano was extremely attentive and professional, Cecilia made me feel truly cared for, Zawadi was warm and welcoming, and Mike went out of his way to ensure I had everything I needed. Their teamwork and dedication made my stay exceptional. Serena Beach truly sets the standard for luxury and comfort in Mombasa. I highly recommend it and will definitely return. I am also finishing my Barista course and would like to do my attachment there.Thanks.
