Warning! The hotel is now Eleven Pearl, new owner and when you arrive they will not be aware of your booking! It will take a while to sort this situation out and will be stressful. The hotel and location is great though

This place was amazing for the price. I travel frequently and I rarely give such a high rating. It is a small resort right in the beach in a pristene area with a bar just feet from the ocean. The staff was amazing. The only thing that could be improved was the speed of the service on drinks. There is a jungle side pool and a nature walk area that was a huge bonus.

This was the perfect spot after a 10 day safari! Africa Pearl is a small resort that had just the right amount of comfort and services. Location was perfect, away from the huge resorts, but an easy walk along the beach to get to other restaurants or away from everyone. Quiet and secure, the staff was friendly and professional. Michael the manager and the grounds crew were especially helpful. Michael extended our checkout time which was extra nice and the guys brought us fresh coconuts every day!

A Pearl that Shines!
This was a 'solo' trip, there were heavy downpours of rain and it was the beginning of their off-season and yet I can say I had an amazing time... loved the ambience of the place, staff super helpful and location tops. I had no vehicle but with the constant flow of tuktuks on the road out front, travel to anywhere was never a problem. Afrika Pearl, highly recommended.

Excellent hotel right on the Indian Ocean
Beautiful little boutique hotel, right on the beach for long walks on the amazing sand beaches and dips in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Great service and food in the restaurant or at the beach bar. Pool for refreshing swims in a tropically vegetated oasis, teaming with birds and monkeys. Great place to base and explore.

4/10 Fair

Disappointing.
Room condition was particularly poor. Lack of privacy, poor lighting. No ability to lock the door from inside the room. Shower was open to main room with only an old, tired, shower curtain about 1/4 of the way around the shower, toilet also had no door. When we requested the manager to provide a different room, we were informed that all rooms were occupied, even though 30 mins earlier were told buffet dinner would be substituted by a la carte menu because there were not enough guests at the hotel! Food ordered took way too long to be served, poor quality, tasteless and cold. We left, and stayed at another hotel within minutes of this facility, with no refund and no regrets!

First Trip to Africa for Kids
My family stayed at this hotel for a family vacation from Washington DC to Kenya for the first time. We really enjoyed the stay, the food,,the gorgeous beaches and the very friendly staff. The mangers, Eric and Winnie, really made us welcome to Kenya and its karibu hospitality. The masai warriors who guarded the hotel, the waiters and waitresses were all very friendly. The sun, the sand, and serf were all exquisite and sights to behold. Make sure to ignore all the beach boys trying to sell you stuff, but never fall for them. Do the camel ride and the scuba diving. We did one day safari to Tsaveo East Park and we saw all the wild life and the nice lodge which we had a lunch was inviting. Make sure to stay at the lodge, because one day safari was too exhausting for the kids. The safari guide (Ali Hassan) was very familiar with the area and he made sure we saw all the animals before the other safari tourists. He is local guy who knows the ins-outs of the area. Nice hotel and very nice staff.

Dejligt sted.
Et fantastisk sted med heldigvis flest søde mennesker. Der var dog en dame, der ikke brød sig om børn og skældte mine børn ud ( 8 og 4 år). De havde et lille fitnessrum, hvor vi havde købt en familiepakke, så vi alle kunne være der. Min datter på 8 år gik ud og vaskede hænder før hun ville bruge maskinerne (hun er elitegymnastik og har et stort kendskab til tingene). I det samme kom denne dame og skældte hende ud og uden begrundelse smed de børnene ud. Vi har klaget, men en øv måde at slutte ferie af på, på et ellers pragtfuldt hotel.

Der Strand ist unglaublich, die Anlage direkt da dran ist ebenfalls schön und zu empfehlen. Großer Minuspunkt (und für uns auch der Grund, weshalb wir nur eine Nacht blieben) sind die aggressiven Beachboys am Strand. Wirklich jedes Mal wenn man sich zum Strand begibt, wird man von Ihnen belästigt. Sie lassen auch nicht ab und bleiben penetrant bis man im Wasser ist, was insbesondere bei Ebbe ne Weile dauern kann. Das gleiche Spiel dann auch auf den Rückweg. Entspannen ist so nicht möglich.
