We loved staying here !
Pros:

The resort is beautiful, well kept, in front of the ocean. with beautiful plants and all amenities. It is located close to a big supermarket and 10 min tuk tuk drive to the town center. The restaurant in the resort is really good. All the staff is fantastic and took very good care of us. We booked tours and massage via the resort and everything was perfect . We simply loved staying at Ocean Sports Resort!

A beautiful hotel
Pros:

An elegant hotel situated right by the beach, a taxi from the airport costs 2,800 KES (the journey to the airport is slightly cheaper). Hotel with a beautiful swimming pool and a variety of facilities, such as a children’s playground, a sports area and water sports equipment hire. A huge and beautifully cultivated garden.
A wide beach, though full of seaweed (depending on the time of year); whilst it isn’t suitable for snorkelling, there is a coral reef nearby (15 minutes by boat) in the Marine Park (admission $25).
The meals served in the restaurant (à la carte) are delicious! For example, tuna, steaks, etc.

Cons:

The internet connection is poor and is only available in the main building (lobby and restaurant).
The breakfasts are rather poor for a hotel of this standard; for example, there’s no cheese or vegetables.
The room smells musty, but that’s just weather-related.

Pros:

Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und sahen auch sehr gepflegt aus ( was ich in Kenia nicht in allen Unterkünften der Fall ist).
Wir haben gleich am ersten Abend die Managerin kennengelernt, sie hat uns angesprochen, und uns gleich ein gutes Gefühl vermittelt.
Die Anlage ist wie eine Art Beach Club aufgebaut.
Jedes Cottage hat eine eigene Terrasse. Es gibt ein Restaurant, mit Bar, und dann natürlich auch noch am Pool eine Bar.
Wir fühlten uns sehr gut aufgehoben.

Cons:

Der Strand hat uns überhaupt nicht gefallen, man kann hier nicht baden, und teilweise noch nicht einmal spazieren gehen. Dafür kann allerdings das Hotel nichts, es ist wohl zu dieser Jahreszeit im August normal, dass alles voller Seegras ist (war uns vorher so nicht bewusst).
Das Essen hier ist zwar sehr gut, man schmeckt dass sie eine gehobene Küche haben, allerdings gab es nicht so viele "gesunde" Speisen. Es gibt zwar Sushi und Bowls, aber ansonsten keine Auswahl an z.B. verschiedenen Salaten, und auch nur eine Swahili Speise. Die meisten Speisen sind eher fettig (Fish&Chips usw.). Wir haben aber gesehen, dass viele Leute diese Speisen bestellt haben, vielleicht ist es einfach eben nicht unser Geschmack als Europäer.

Un posto incantevole
Pros:

La struttura, curata in ogni dettaglio, é immersa in un bellissimo giardino tropicale. Le camere sono ampie e arredate con gusto e tutte dotate di un graziosissimo patio vista mare. Molto bella anche la piscina con il bar a sfioro che prepara ottimi cocktail. Eccezionale il ristorante, sicuramente il migliore della zona. Ma ciò che rende l'Ocean Sport resort un posto speciale è il servizio impeccabile: tutto lo staff è gentilissimo ed attento al cliente e contribuisce a creare un'atmosfera molto piacevole e rilassata.

Cons:

Anche se ovviamente non dipende dalla struttura, c'è da dire però che nel mese di agosto la spiaggia e il mare sono poco praticabili perché ricoperti di alghe.

Excellent stay
Pros:

Absolutely loved our one week stay here for my birthday! The food was a 10/10, the views were breathtaking and the rooms were quite spaced out allowing for privacy. The staff went above and beyond to accomodate us.

Le meilleur hôtel dans lequel j'ai jamais été.
Pros:

On entend le bruit de la mer depuis la chambre, c'est très relaxant. La piscine est magnifique. On loge dans des petits lodges de sorte à avoir l'intimité d'un lodge mais avec les avantage d'un hotel. Possibilité de petit déjeuner et de manger devant la mer. La nourriture est délicieuse et le personnel on ne peut plus attentionné.
