Amazing location; dream-like accomodation; friendly staff; yummi food

The staff were amazing. They were always checking on me to make sure that I'm doing ok. The room was huge, much bigger than what I was expecting. I had an entire patio for myself with a hot tub and a view of the sea. It's one of the nicest places I've ever stayed. It was a nice touch to be visited by monkeys while sitting on the balcony. The food quality from the restaurant was also really nice.
The mattress was a little bit too hard for my liking, and there were ants but bugs are to be expected when you are staying in the middle of nature.

The staff at the resort were extremely helpful and went above and beyond, especially when we required medical assistance. They checked in with us to see how we were and ensured that we were comfortable.
There were several things that were frustrating at the Nomad, not least the amount of flies in the restaurant making dining there really unpleasant. There was also an issue with ants in our room and they were everywhere. On our first night, the shower was blocked, flooding the entire bathroom, which was made worse because there was no door to the shower. The air conditioning was pretty useless cooling one quarter of the room, while the other parts remained hot. You also could not keep the doors open due to the monkeys. For the amount of money paid for the resort, this was not reflected in the condition of the hotel.
My stay at this hotel was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. Everything exceeded my expectations. The staff were incredibly welcoming, professional, and always ready to assist with a smile. The room was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable, with all the amenities I needed for a relaxing stay.
Location, staff, food & facilities were all excellent.
Can’t think of anything negative
The restaurant was very nice, the beach front family room was spacious and clean and the staff was super nice
The beach boys in front of the hotel are quite annoying. The worst part was that I felt insecure leaving things in the garden in front of the room which faces the beach. A couple of times I spotted what looked like true smugglers getting really close to spot what was there and see if they could grab something.
The swimming pool ruined all our swimsuits. It stained them with a yellow-ish color which does not go away. What ever products they use for the pool are damaging and this should be advised to guests.
Beautiful boutique hotel, in a fabulous location (beautiful beach!) with wonderful food. We really loved the staff who were all so friendly and went to so much trouble to make all guests feel welcome and well looked after. I really recommend it, we will be back!
Nothing!

I am writing to formally bring to your attention an extremely disappointing and unacceptable experience my my family and I had during our recent visit to Normads Restaurant.
We have been loyal, repeat customers for the past several years, and as a family of seven visiting from Canada and Uganda, we have always valued the consistency and comfort your establishment once offered. It is precisely because of this long-standing relationship that the events of our visit were not only disheartening but deeply concerning.
We were at your restaurant on **March 21st, 2026**, for a **5:00 PM reservation under the name Ruganda**.
Upon being served, we were confronted with **a plethora—a full swarm—of flies** hovering around and settling directly on the food. The flies were so thick that even a blind person would have been able to count them. This level of infestation is a serious hygiene breach and entirely unacceptable for any dining establishment. The situation was so severe that we had no choice but to return the food, as it was impossible to use cutlery while simultaneously swatting flies away.
We also observed a significant health and safety violation. As customers were leaving, the waitstaff were wiping down multiple tables using the **same cloth**, without rinsing it or using any disinfectant—no vinegar, no soap, no sanitizing spray. This practice poses a clear risk of cross‑contamination and falls far below basic food safety standards.
What escalated the situation further was the conduct of the supervisor on duty. When we raised our concerns, her response was dismissive, unprofessional, and entirely unacceptable. She stated that flies are "expected as it is rain season," as though this justified the conditions. Instead of taking responsibility or offering any form of solution, she walked away mid‑conversation, leaving us feeling disregarded and disrespected.
The nonchalant attitude displayed by both the supervisor and the waitstaff demonstrated a troubling lack of customer care, accountability, and respect for paying guests. This experience left us with a profoundly negative impression of your establishment.
Please note that this email will also be shared on social media, as we believe it is important to protect other paying customers and raise awareness about the hygiene and service concerns we encountered. Your CCTV cameras should be able to strongly support our position and confirm the conditions we experienced.
We expect that management will treat this matter with the seriousness it warrants and take immediate corrective action to address the hygiene lapses and customer service failures observed.
Sincerely,
Rug

Lots of character with lovely restaurant right on the beachfront. Views even from the garden rooms were lovely. Lots of greenery and regular monkey sightings
One night we got back to the room after dinner and they had been around to do turn down. The bed had quite a few bugs crawling over the sheets so I can only assume the doors were left open while doing the turn down. In room safe stopped working on our last day and couldn’t be resolved so we had to keep our valuables on us.
I liked everything, reception staff were amazing and accommodating, room was spotless, breakfast was great, facilities were superb.
The beach was really nice, but would be good to clean it regularly from the seaweed.
Wonderful place to stay, comfortable and mainly very helpful staff.
Pool man was unhelpful all he did was sweep leaves, got rather cross when we requested a towel!! Pool also very deep with no shallow end not good for children or non swimmers.
Reception and staff were not honest in room availability. They did not let me change rooms and forced me into a room at a higher price despite having availability for cheaper rooms. I expected better service from a hotel so well thought of.
Beautiful hotel on the nicest beach in Kenya. Upgraded to a very large beach room. Great service and amazing fish at the restaurant. Would recommend any time. No kite surfing at the hotel but 5 min walk from there, although very basic equipment and messy service
Super hotel, great rooms (we had 2 ocean view suites) , try to get the top floor as they have a spectacular balcony overlooking the ocean
Food and service are great, beach very clean and we had great fun surfing the waves. Recommend the beach front restaurant. If you want to have an evening out , worth going to Sails which is nearby
