"Tamarind Tree Hotel review"

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

"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

"Tamarind Tree Hotel review"

2 nights Arrived 30 Oct 2022
"Room was clean and spacious, staff was friendly and accommodating. Pool area was relaxing. Can't beat the location as a launch point for Safari as the Wilson Airport is only minutes away.

Lesser grade for the dining service staff... while everyone was friendly, some of our dinner offerings were not accurate per the menu, and the quality of food was only average. While the breakfast buffet service had a wide selection of offering, the dinner we had was 'fair' at best... We ate on site out of convenience but would head out to try something new in the future; we understand that Carnivore is only a few minutes away and in hindsight we should have done that."
