Plaza Beach Hotel

Nice hotel with friendly staff, full of smiling faces . all the 5 star looking hotels around it look like colonial staff quaters . we enjoyed the beach and the rooms are simply great, not the best interiors but simply satisfying especially the beach facing rooms where we slept for 5 days

The Hotel Plaza Bamburi beach. 'Just wonderful' Just returned from a fortnight in this hotel and thoroughly enjoyed it' The accommodation its self is a least on par with many european resort hotels,it is immaculately clean.The staff are very friendly, even more so if you tip.If you are on a tight budget sign for your drinks and pay at the end of your holiday.The food is good with a superb English breakfast every morning(you really dont need lunch)the evening meal was sometmes a little disappointing(nothing wrong with the quality just the variety) , i am quite a fussy eater . The soups were always excellent,however.The head chef was very helpful, when i caught a large kingfish ,he had it cooked for the whole hotel.The hotel has a nice pool which is great for cooling off in, and the sun bathing area is well designed with coconut palms filtering out a little of the heat in the breeze(just too hot to lie in other wise ). Dont be afraid to book your trips of the beach boys the, rep will tell you scare stories to ensure your business, but we booked a 3 day two night safari through Harrison at a substaintail saving (Chico is a top bloke too}and we were delighted with the whole thing. we paid £160 each one night voi lodge tsavo east , one night ngalia lodge tsavo west.The rep wanted £210 for same trip. If you are interested in doing some deep sea fishing ,i must recommend John and Ken Rodwell, they are based in Mtapwa creek.The hotel should be able to get a number for you, if not ask the beach boys for charlie brown and he will sort it out for you. I had a exceptional days fishing with 12kg kingfish 23.5kg sailfish and 60kg black marlin.At the time of writing the boat cost £240 per day so you might want to get three buddies to share the cost. By the way i never go to the same place twice on holiday, but i will be coming back here to this hotel next year, nuff said !

The service at Plaza Beach is outstanding and lovely, we had a birthday, they brought us cake and sung for us and it was beautiful, their is a guy who teaches pool aerobics and it Soooo much fun, beautiful scenery just next to the beach, I love the place, this is the place to be.

This is not a luxury hotel, I had to accept a bit lower cleanliness standard than I am used to but in the end I was very satisfied. I appreciated so much very friendly, attentive and helpful staff. I felt like a family member. I only ate breakfasts in the hotel and have to say the food was amazing. Followed by a morning swimming in the perfectly clean pool and friendly chat with the staff members my days couldn´t start better. I was sad to leave.

This resort has completely been transformed. The pool is very clean, rooms are large, nice view, beautifully furnished and surroundings are lushy green. The gardeners were so kind to go up the palm trees to get us madafu ( green coconut). There was no charge for this! My tummy is very irritable, the staff were always ready to customise my meals making my stay very comfortable. Not to mention that room service was readily available through the night. I highly recommend the facility for anyone who wants a quiet resort. Thank you GM Dennis Gwaro and your team!
