This is a lovely place. While it is not perfect, for the price I don't think you can do better. The apartments are spare but clean. Most of what you need is there. The restaurant was quite tasty and the variety is excellent. There is a very wonderful pool and sitting area. The staff is superb and went out of... More

the apartments are not "sea facing" unless you take that very literally - i.e they are facing the general direction of the sea, but make no mistake - you won't get a view of the sea. The other thing is it is not 100m from the Serena Hotel and the beach, unless you walk down a narrow and difficult track... More

We stayed there only for 2 nights. Fortunately later we moved to a different place. The information on the website was misleading if not false. The apartments are not located 5min but at least 20min from the beach and there is no ocean view from any of the rooms. Our apartment was not fully furnished and what is more several... More

There is a very good pool, the apartments come furnished (albeit sparten but adjustable). The place is run by Catherine who manages a tight ship.

My girlfriend and I stayed at the nightingale for 12 nights. Communication was fantastic via email as I was having problems paying, Catherine was very understanding and patient with me. We were looked after very well, Rooms are lovely and clean and it felt like we had a private pool. You get a real sense of community inside the Nightingale.... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at Nightingale for 4 nights in November. We had researched on the internet and were not disappointed as the complex was just as nice as the pictures on the website. The price is very reasonable and everything is clean and new. The pool and garden areas are very attractive and the apartments are spacious. The... More

If you are staying for a mouth or so than this is a good place but for short stay its too isolated. You will end up getting taxis everywhere adding around 2000KSD or more to your daily budget. About 5hotels closed down nearby and there are lots of unfinished buildings, it’s a ghost beach at night. While I was there... More

We stayed for 3 nights in Sept 2012. The rooms are a little under furnished but everything works and is spotlessly clean. The atmosphere is relaxed but also very professional. The pool gets sunlight almost all day and is wonderfully warm. It's close enough to Mombasa to be easily reached , but feels like a million miles away too. The... More

A pocketful of peace and tranquility in Mombasa We submerged our self in the cool clean pool and relaxed surrounded by the tropical flowers. The apartments were fully equipped and so spacious we wanted for nothing. The staff exceeded our expectations throughout our weeks stay and the only problem we had is that we never wanted to leave.
