"Plenty of spaces for groups to casually gather.
The swimming pool was fabulous, as was the included morning breakfast buffet.
A bit more drinking water provided in the room would be welcome." See all these reviews: 11n in Kenya

"Everything at the Tamarind was lovely.
The rooms were beautiful and comfortable. The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious. The pool was lovely.
The only issue we had was when we decided to order off of the menu for dinner one evening rather than the buffet. It took more than 1 hour to receive our food and unfortunately when we did, one of the orders was not made as requested. The staff insisted that it be sent back, and when a new dish was replaced, it still did not fit the request (although at that point our traveling companion was really hungry and had absolutely no interest in sending it back). It is possible that the particular server was having a particularly tough evening.
Regardless, the buffet food is all diverse and delicious, so if (when) I return, I will only eat off the buffet, and then the experience will be perfect." See all these reviews: 11n in Kenya

"Our room was very comfortable. Our only complaint was the music from the bar could be heard all night long. We did have a late dinner the first night and the service was very slow. However, service at breakfast was very attentive."

3 nights Arrived 6 Jul 2023
"Room was clean, staff was fantastic at the front desk, bar staff and restaurant staff friendly and helpful. A bit confusing about the "service charge" already added to the bill then a line item for "tip" i thought service charge was a tip, when asking a staff member they said dont add tip as they will never see it? was a bit disheartening.
Food in restaurant was good to good plus. mostly had buffet" See all these reviews: 13n in Kenya

"What a wonderful respite after a very long flight. The room was so nice, comfy bed, great shower and a cute bracelet.
The food in the onsite restaurant was delicious! A wonderful breakfast buffet and great choices for lunch.
All of the girls working there were so courteous and always had beautiful smiles." See all these reviews: 11n in Kenya

"This visit was a host of issues.
Room smell problem, tv didn’t work, phone didn’t work… Also-Sunday is family day at the hotel and it is absolutely packed with locals for brunch and swimming.
They did fix the issues as they came up. The staff are really quite helpful. I just think my room was possessed." See all these reviews: 11n in Kenya
