Girls trip!!!
The resort is absolutely stunning and breathtaking! There were a few glitches and hiccups at check in but they were taken care of by RALLY. Then we get to our rooms and then the problems began(phones weren’t working and one of the rooms the AC was needed to be serviced plus didn’t have a remote control, no shelves to put our wardrobe, missing items toiletries and towels plus our rooms had no view of the garden or anything) basically all 3 rooms we had were not checked before we checked in. We made a formal complaint to the manager JEFF, the next day and he apologized profusely and changed our rooms. We got upgraded to beautiful rooms with amazing views and were treated to a dinner at the seafood tapenyaki restaurant courtesy of the amazing manager JEFF. I must highlight the baharani restaurant the food and service there is amazing and especially the one server KEVIN, he made our stay amazing! Also at the bar JUNIOS the mixologist was fabulous. One last thing we had the most amazing treatment at the spa the SWAHILI EXPERIENCE, a must try!!!! I would definitely stay at Swahili beach resort again and I actually can’t wait to go again but I recommend to get the superior rooms.

A very nice place. The room especially the washroom is great, the food was awesome, the staff very friendly. Only this part of the beach belonging to the resort was terrible. Dirty and lots of stones

A superb resort
This trip was our third visit to Swahili Beach Resort within the last 18 months. Due to the COVID-19 situation, the occupancy was very low. Nevertheless, the standard of the service, cleanness, and food was top notch as usual. The rooms are very spacious and extremely comfortable. The quality of the food though limited in selection due to few guests, was excellent. The facility is very well maintained and generally of a very high standard. The staff at every level were super friendly.
