This is my third Mombasa-Area beach resort experience. You can find my other reviews under Diani Reef and Serena Mombasa. Compared to the other two hotels (above) this hotel rates third on my list. The only reason that Indian Ocean rates third is because of the presence and quality of facilities. For example there is no spa. There is a... more

The hotel itself is nice and direct on the beach. The rooms are nicely done in single/double bungalows or small houses. It looks like a little village. We've heard a lot of positive comments about the hotel before the Jacaranda chain took over. Before this they belonged together with Masai Mara Keekerok Lodge and Amboseli Ol Tukai Lodge. Those two... more

We arrived very early in the morning to be greeted by a smile. We were shown to our flower garland cottage on the waters edge. Flowers and fruit placed on the bed and in the bathroom.We now witness the friendly greeting JAMBO. Our stay was perfect. Each morning everyone greeted us and all the staff were very friendly. We decided... more

Stayed here for the first two weeks in July after much quizzing of other TA members and it was wonderful. The staff were brilliant, always asking if we needed anything and always helpful & smiling. Lovely people from the gardener who made our palm hats and gave us fresh coconuts to the reception staff who answered all our questions and... more

I enjoyed my stay here the staff were wonderful and the rooms clean and bright, the bed was very comfortable . The food also was very good and the service spot on. I would stay here again if i visit the south coast again. more

At £110 per night (half board) for a double, the rooms could do with much more maintenance. We took two rooms, and while the first one had a blocked drain, the second successfully managed to lock out my brother-in-law, trapping all his possessions within.... and all this happened in the first two hours of our arrival! The pompous pretentious dinner... more

We decided on this hotel for our honeymoon after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor and we were not disappointed. The IOBC is set in beautifully kept grounds right on a private white sandy beach. We booked an Oceanfront room - which was as the name suggests is literally on the beach! A major plus point was that there were... more

I have walked past the IOBC many times but only booked because my original choice of accomodation burned down. Initially I was disappointed at not being able to stay at my original choice, but this disappeared on being shown to our room. On the advice of other tripadvisor members we chose an ocean front view and I can only say... more

We have just returned from the Indian Ocean Beach Hotel. We up graded to a Beach Front Cottage and it was worth every penny, we stepped out our door onto the sand with the sea just a few metres away. We were on our honeymoon and they had put an arch of flowers around our door to welcome us and... more
