Superb
Pros:

Excellently located next to the voyager resort.
Very nicely appointed and spacious rooms. Very nice pool area. Great little bar restaurant. Desk staff were very accommodating as our plans changed. Very good communication.

Cons:

Ok, the bar girl was not trained, she upended a Guinness bottle into the glass amongst other things. Tried to charge more than was posted on the menu! Explaining that they were old menus, this is not on! I refused to pay the higher price. It was a shame as we enjoyed our stay.

Pleasant
Pros:

The location was quiet and clean. the rooms are large with very good quality facilities, from the washroom amenities, the size of the television, wifi et cetera. The staff were friendly.

Cons:

A power outage on two consecutive days affected the water supply. That was the low moment of our stay. The pool is rather small for an adult.

I would not refer it in this part of town.
Pros:

Decent…. It’s in an area that’s hard to find for most people. But it wasn’t a bad area.

Cons:

Flying insects. The food wasn’t great.

The hospitality at Makaazi is super. The staff goes an extra mile to assist the guests
Pros:

I did not take breakfast because a lot of food was served at tea time during the meeting. Again, I was not aware that the payment that I made through bookin.com did not include breakfast.

Cons:

There is nothing that I didn't like about the place

Good
Pros:

the rooms are in good state.

Cons:

During my stay there was a band that plays music as part the entertainment program (am not sure if this is routine/regular because my stay was 1 night). This turns out to be an noise problem for those who opt for early rest/sleep.

An oasis of calm, but it is the team that makes this place so special
Pros:

A boutique haven of calm from the hustle and bustle of Mombasa and the madding crowds of the nearby resort beach hotels. Small, but well appointed, Makaazi is a tranquil oasis during the week, while the weekend includes a welcome, live band and more visitors to the bar and restaurant. All the staff are exceptionally attentive and helpful, special thanks to Purity and Simon. If you tire of the peaceful garden and pool and relaxed bar, you can easily access the frenetic facilities and beautiful Nyali beach at/through the nearby resort complexes (Voyager is approx 100m away - direct lost taxi drivers to Voyager and then follow the sign to Makaazi). Highly recommended
