Our stay at Serena Bay was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The service was exceptional — truly a 10/10 experience thanks to the warm, attentive, and professional staff who made us feel welcome every single day.

We stayed for 8 days in a beautiful room overlooking the beach, and waking up to that stunning view every morning was unforgettable. The food was fantastic across both restaurants — delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. One of the highlights was the daily afternoon tea from 4–5 p.m., which offered a lovely selection of treats in a relaxing setting.

The spa team was wonderful as well professional, friendly, and they created such a calm, peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to unwind completely.

For families, the kids club was an absolute gem. Our 3-year-old daughter adored it and looked forward to going every day. The staff were incredibly caring, patient, and engaging, we could see how much they genuinely enjoyed spending time with the children.

Overall, Serena Bay exceeded all our expectations. It’s the perfect place for both relaxation and family fun. We can’t recommend it highly enough and can’t wait to return!

It was perfect, nice clean rooms and property, nice amenities and friendly staff.
Except the gym attendant, he was rude, he just continued to watch TV, when we came in, no hi or anything. When I was going to sanitize the equipment I wanted to use , he yelled at me and asked me what am I doing, claiming all the equipments are clean. I didn't even know he works there till he started confronting me.

(1) We were disappointed with the airport pick-up service we booked several weeks in advance, which never materialised, especially as we had been travelling internationally for the preceeding 3 days. Thankfully a local taxi person helped us out - we hope he was paid what we were charged. (2) We recommend Serena offers an 'all inclusive' option. Half board is quite outdated, given so many Kenyan coastal hotels are now all inclusive. All inclusive means the customer pays in advance, removing the worry of what the final bill is for the customer, as well as assuring the hotel will get it's money. (3) For what customers are paying, the hotel really needs to be on top of maintenance eg eroded shower hinges; cracked tiles; mould on the verandah, etc. After all that, we had a lovely time!

Pros: Great hotel in an excellent location. The rooms were clean, spacious, and very comfortable.

First visited nearly 30 years ago and have stayed several times since. It's a lovely hotel for a short stay and it has an amazing staff. The facilities are excellent, great for young families and can be lively in the evenings (ask for a room away from the music in need). The restaurants are all open attracting monkies, crows and sparrows so some surfaces are likely not very clean but generally not a nuisance. The hotel's reputation is well-deserved.

The sea front needs some cleaning attention otherwise we enjoyed cooling off in the ocean, very safe and comfortable to swim, even for the little ones.

Great staff, but rooms and fixtures are ageing

The staff throughout the hotel are friendly. No less than in the past or what you’d expect. The restaurants remain very good. The gym is very good too, for a hotel.

But the room was old and disappointing. The shower flooded every time because the flat surface between the partition and tub allowed water to collect and then drip to the floor instead of the tub.

The doorknob on the bathroom door was partially detached.

The TV was old and angled upwards.

The leather on the office chair was frayed and tatty.

The bathroom/bedroom frosted window was loosely installed, which meant that it would rattle if other people on the corridor closed their doors.

A good enough stay

Beautiful grounds.
Vast gardens and well maintained.
Decent beach front with some activities.
This hotel is 50 years old, I googled that and it’s been modernized to still afford a good stay.
That’s laudable

Where it lets down is the food.
Breakfast was decent but dinner was a huge letdown.
I’m not going to bore you with details, skip the dinner buffet by all means and if you must, the sea food restaurant was a good option.

I will never understood paying for things like water when you have a buffet.
What is one supposed to do?
Choke on meals.

My long weekend at Serena Beach Resort in Mombasa was the perfect end to a three week camping trip throughout Eastern Africa. The property itself is absolutely beautiful with plenty of options for food, activities and relaxation. The room was lovely and large with a comfortable bed, separate shower and bath and breezy balcony. The snorkeling both mornings was fantastic and easy to arrange (big thanks to Said on the boat!). Breakfast and dinner (included with half-board) were delicious and provided a nice variety. Pool was lovely and the swim-up bar was an added bonus. I really enjoyed Samuel at the Butterfly Pavilion who showed me the full life cycle of many species of butterflies the Serena takes an active role in conserving. Perhaps the most important part of my stay was the staff. Everyone had a smile and went above and beyond to make sure that I was comfortable, happy and enjoying myself. My waiter both nights, Victor, was very attentive and nice to talk to. Everline at the front desk was so helpful in getting me a late check out due to my late-night flight to Nairobi. As a solo female traveler, safety and amenities are priority for me. Serena was beyond comfortable and a relaxing haven in Mombasa.

This is an all inclusive resort. You don't have to go anywhere accept for shopping and you can get some local things at the small store that was on the property. They have a good business center and I was able to print documents from my room to the business center. They also provided umbrellas and power adapters upon request. There are plenty of things to do and see. I spent one day at the spa and got the full treatment. It looks like they are slowly going through all the facilities and updating / remodeling them.
I felt very secure and well taken care of. They even took me a few places via the hotel shuttle, which normally you would get a taxi for.

The Staff were the best I have ever encountered. I travel a lot and have been to different hotels, not only in Kenya, but in Africa as well as globally. i really must say that the staff at Serena Beach and Resort Spa go all out to make an positive impression on their clients.

Special thanks to Herman, the general manager who was always around the corner somewhere, checking on his clients and for putting together the lovely programme for the hotel.Many thanks to Nathan at the Sports Center for his professionalism and cheerful encouragements as I contemplated to do my first Scuba Diving excursion. Thanks a lot to Rama, the scuba diving coach who then took me through the Scuba Diving Lessons and the actual excursion in the Indian Ocean. It was such a beautiful lifetime experience and saying ''thank you'' for making it so barely seems enough, so I will say Gob bless you all abundantly!!

The hotel takes special care of turtles that hatch their eggs on the beach. When the turtle babies are ready, they release them into the ocean. I happened to be there during one of the releases - it was one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

Skal conference

very poor lighting in the gardens enroute to the rooms, they lights blind you, and need to be changed, i almost sprained my ankle one night on the uneven walkways. the lights shine directly into your eyes and when its pitch black its actually dangerous. our next serena lodge had appropriate lighting.

Excellent, delicious staff

Excellent. Serena is probably the nicest place in the area, mainly because of the premises of the hotel, which are outstanding, built in old swahili style, but also because of the beach and the gardens and their biodiversity. This time I discovered a wonderful turtle protection programme and had the privilege of attending the first journey of dozens of green and haksbill new born turtles to the ocean. The staff is \"delicious\", as we the French use to say. Some of the critics below or in other websites mention that the hotel is getting old, but this is not Dubai, folks, and the food expensive for the price paid, which is not fair, because the food is great and the buffet changes everyday is always plenty of options. And there are not hidden charges as some said. One critic that should be also adressed is about the noise of \"the locals\" in the swim pool. Besides the fact that apartheid has been abolished, the hotel customers come from all arround the world, including many african countries and of course, Kenya. Fortunately, this keeps the hotel full of live and color. I will come back as soon as possible.

Indian Ocean Beauty

It's hard to beat the view of the Indian Ocean from the Serena. Lots of beachfront with warm, swim-able beaches. I had a single room which was on the small side, but comfortable with a private patio. Breakfast and dinner included had a limited menu but the food was decent and service was very attentive (think colonial British) though a bit slow. The resort is a little bit secluded, so it doesn't feel like it's close to Mombasa, but you can easily get an Uber for under KES 1,500 if you want to go into the city for sites like Fort Jesus.

A beautiful hotel with an Arabesque theme throughout. Peaceful and relaxing environment with beautiful gardens and excellent facilities. The food was excellent, but the highlight was the magnificent staff who were unfailingly attentive and friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much, and this was probably the nicest and most relaxing hotel I have ever stayed in.

Good for business

Serena is Serena in Mombasa. Old style, could need to refresh the rooms even if we have what we need. Buffet for diner is expensive for what we have. Pool a bit noisy with locals. However Will come back again.

Very nice beach hotel

Hotel is on the beach and very nice. Standard rooms are quite small and tight; superior rooms are bigger and more comfortable. Hotel and rooms are nicely appointed in Swahili theme.

The stay was rather disappointing for the amount of money that we paid. While the staff was friendly, they did not keep their words about the services they said they would offer. We had to ask several times for the staff to bring us water and the remote control for the AC which did not happen. At the check out there were unexpected costs which were not communicated properly prior. Additionally, there were stains on the bed and pillows and the food was rather mediocre. All in all, I would not recommend to stay here.
