I first thought the hotel was a bit dismal but then looking at all the staff with beautiful smiley faces that soom went, greeted with refreshing glass of cold fruit juice at reception and were able to check in right away. The room was very clean with a very good air conditioning .. There is a TV but no hairdryer... more

I stayed at the Reef Hotel over Christmas and New Year 2007. This was my first visit to Kenya and I was unsure what to expect having read a range of opinions on this website. On arrival the hotel doesn't look too impressive but we were greeted with a glass of cold fruit juice at reception and were able to... more

We booked this hotel through SNCF. The package included 2 days safari and then 4 days at Reef Hotel. The safari went very well but on the 3rd day we were "droped" at Reef. The hotel needs serious restoration works and the room/bathroom was VERY DIRTY. One may not relax in the beach which is just in front of the... more
