Latest Review for The Beach - Bar Restaurant & Camp Lodge
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Utter crap! would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Having told them I was arriving at 12 at night, nobody was there, the so called night watchman was nowhere to be seen. I had to wake some residents up to help me.
Then I was told lies about what I was paying for and they over charged me. The food was ok but took over an hour for it to be served.
My bed had mice droppings in it and an ant infestation.

About The Beach - Bar Restaurant & Camp Lodge
Internet Access
THE BEACH AFRICA is Africa, we offer student friendly prices in accommodation, drinks and meals. The Beach is surrounded by a local fisherman's village and serves fresh meals daily which includes a vegetarien menu, all is prepared the local way on a traditional firewood grill , which gives the famous taste of the area.
THE BEACH AFRICA - Bar, Restaurant & Camp Lodge is a very unique place at the waterfront, It is a perfect location for wanderers, travelers and adventure seekers and overlanders on their way to lamu or Zanzibar. It is unbelievable that a place like that exists! And for sure it is for every one who wants to break out of the normal wheel, to come back to the simplicity of life, and its natural beauty. Overseeing the Indian Ocean, at the entrance of a Mangrove... creek, forget about the world and switch off. the Beach is hidden and wants to be discovered, those moments of life you spend here will become timeless
The local bongo or reggae flava fills the air and the ocean surrounds guests as they relax while enjoying nature's gifts. The bandas are very cozy lodges built in African beach safari style and offer a breath taking seaview, a comfortable bed, mosquito net and paraffin lamp and tranquility. Karibu (Welcome) as we say here in Kenya for everyone at anytime who wants to relax while enjoying the true beach life as a beach bum. All Lodges and the Campsite have a seaview.
THE BEACH AFRICA is only 10 min away from the famous Jumba la Mtwana Ruins and other historical sites, we offer fishing & snorkeling trips, dolphin dives and safari bookings. English, German & Spanish translators are on site.

I asked them to book me a taxi (one of their services), they said they had, but they hadn't.
Def would not recommend!!
