Sawa Sawa Beach House

The place was quiet and close to the ocean. I like the sound of the breeze and the waves when the tide comes in.

The beach boys were a bit nagging when you relaxing around the ocean couches

The location was excellent. Right next to the beach d the access amazing.

The actual facilities were somewhat dated and can do with some re-upholstering, deep cleaning and overhaul. The photos give a very different perspective of the space. We had no hot water and food was rather underwhelming. This is not a four star facility and can only be described as a one a two star facility at best. If you’re a back packer this will work for you.

Breakfast was amazing and delicious

I wished rooms were interconnected coz of kids.a fridge and TV would have been good.

Amazing stay at Sawa Sawa Beach House! The location is perfect, right by the beach, with beautiful views and a peaceful

This was undoubtedly the best place we could have stayed in Kenya. The accommodation was excellent; we had a cozy room that included everything we needed (we requested a small table, and it was provided promptly). The room and common areas offered reliable Wi-Fi, and the outdoor swimming pool was pristine and well-maintained, with daily cleaning. The beach access was monitored by a friendly security guard, ensuring guests were safe from any beach vendors. The beach area featured several loungers, tables, and "sofas," allowing guests to enjoy their breakfast right by the water.What truly set this place apart, however, was the exceptional staff, including the kind and helpful Manager. The bartenders were warm and welcoming, serving us throughout the day, and the food was absolutely delicious. The menu offered a variety of dishes that were sure to please everyone, and the cocktails were expertly prepared. Best of all, the prices were very reasonable.All of these elements combined to make our stay truly unforgettable, and we highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing experience.

Great hotel with excellent sea view! The facilities are great and the restaurant and bar serve great food and cocktails.

Msambweni is located relatively far from the activities, restaurants etc. on the Kenyan coast that primarily are located in Diani. The place is however excellent for relaxation.

Very calm and relaxing. Room was cleaned and sprayed with anti mosquito very day. The beach is not so nice and turquoise as in Diani. Great value overall with very friendly staff.

Sawa Sawa is nothing less then a hidden paradise in a nice authentic village, away from the crowds. Literally everyone who works there makes you feel at home. The infrastructure is basic but clean, it's perfect for what you pay for it. The food and drinks are really good, also for vegetarians, and at very reasonable prices. Hope to go back one day!

Very relaxed hideaway to enjoy the beach and ourselves. Friendly stuff and nice food

Perfect location bordering the lovely sandy beach. At low tide the reef can be explored, teeming with life in the rock pools and sandy lagoons to lounge in. When the tide comes in the sea is as warm as a bath.Breakfast is excellent with lovely fresh fruit selection and fresh juice. The main menu is varied and portions generous.The staff are very friendly, helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Miss Stacey & Goefrey made us so welcome. The comfortable rooms are beautifully decorated in the local style. Great pool with lots of places to relax in the sun or shade.

There was nothing not to love. I have never felt that welcome. From the watchman, manager the staff and the surprising part is even the fellow guests. It's a gem

I love having a tv in the room. But it allowed me to unwind such that for the first time I did not need noise to fall asleep

right please for relaxation, staff was great, food was great, sunny and warm throughout our stay even when rainy the rain is warm and brief

Lovely small hotel with amazing staff. The hotel feels a little bit like paradise. It is perfect if you want to relax and wind down. Directly situated at the beach and the architecture with the pavilion and the pool in front of it gives the place a great aesthetic. The staff was amazing - helpful and very friendly. Without them the hotel wouldn’t be the same. The only downside you might have is that it is a little bit remote but on the upside less tourists and if you mainly want to relax this place is amazing for this. The food is also good and has vegetarian options.Highly recommended!

Lovely place, ideal with family and kids. Rooms were cleaned, they always asked if we wanted our nets mosquito sprayed. Staff (especially Joffrey and Jeff) were especially very kind and helpful. Also we really appreciated that the owner, Stacey has managed to arrange a last minute transfers from Mombasa Airport and late dinner, when our pre-arranged transfer declined after a flight delay. We arrived super tired and hungry, so that dinner saved lives. :) The general breakfast was nice, portions were enough. The view and closeness of the beach and sea is amazing, we would return to this place at any give moment! High recommended! Thank you!

Local beachboys basically camping down at the entrance to the beach and constantly try to connect with guests and sell stuff to them, that can be really annoying. Kind words just don't work, you have to be very firm and strict in telling them to STOP, then will leave you alone. It was really disturbing to us, and took away from the lovely environment and privacy we could have on the beach. If they were not constantly in our face to sell stuff, we even could have nice conversations and even bought some handcrafted stuff from them. But this way, it is disturbing to the guests.

Nice small hotel with very friendly staff. Food is really good.

Fantastic location next to beach. Calming and peaceful vibe. Very helpful and friendly staff and delicious food

I loved staying here! Simple but beautiful right on the beach with a variety of places to relax with a good book! Nice food with friendly staff!

I enjoyed my stay thoroughly. The staff is professional (specially Ian and Joffrey). They made sure everything was perfect and were very kind and respectful. Stacey (the manager) made sure to provide any sort of help I needed with booking transport or getting around. Location is perfect for an idyllic and relaxing holiday. Food was great. You have a lot of options for breakfast and it is prepared fresh when you order. You also get delicious fresh fruit. Cannot recommend this place more if you want to relax away from all the tourist traps. The rooms are a bit basic compared to a fancy hotel but you have everything you need.

I cannot think of anything that can be improved.

Beautiful place with clean rooms, friendly staff and great food.

The breakfast was terrific, and the location was lovely. Very tranquil.

They needmore books in English in their library.
