Hotels in Kenya

I have just returned from a gorgeous holiday in Mombasa, Kenya staying at Whitesands beach hotel so as there isn't a specific category for this hotel I am putting it in the general Kenyan hotels category Starter point: Right before I go off on one and make you want to go on a holiday to Kenya I do have to warn you of some hidden costs, so I will do that before hand! VISA Before you can enter Kenya you need a visa. This costs £30 per person and can be gained at the airport or by printing off the form on the Kenyan Embassy website (www.kenyanembassy.co.uk) and sending it, along with payment and passport to Kenya High Commission, 45 Portland ...  Read the complete review

TURTLE BAY BEACH CLUB It is situated next to Watamu National Marine Park.

The Travellers Tiwi is marked as a 4 elephant in the Somak brochure, and a five something or other on the travellers web site, it is neither, and I have been to 3 stars that have been better. The rooms themselves where very good, although the louver windows let the entire air con out and the bugs in.
