The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Culinary Experience

During my stay, the food at Mnarani Beach Club truly impressed me. The grilled prawns and chickpea curry were my personal favorites, and the variety available during buffets was amazing. The daily themed buffet dinner added a special touch to my evenings. I particularly enjoyed the live cooking setup for Swahili dishes, which made dining not just a meal but an experience.

Fantastic Spa Services

I didn’t get a chance to book a spa treatment during my stay, but several friends did, and they raved about their experiences. The treatments helped to unwind after long days spent at the beach engaging in various activities. I could see the spa facilities were well-maintained and inviting.

Comfortable Accommodations

The room I stayed in was clean, comfortable, and offered a lovely view of the Indian Ocean. I appreciated the air-conditioning, which was perfect for the warm weather. The mosquito nets provided peace of mind, ensuring a good night's sleep without any disturbances from insects.

Perfect for Families

Mnarani Beach Club is an excellent destination for families. The activity club for kids was a highlight of our stay, with enthusiastic and patient teachers who engaged my children in sailing, kayaking, and other fun water activities. It truly made for an lovely family vacation, giving us parents a chance to relax while the kids enjoyed learning.

I had a lovely time at this hotel, especially enjoying the stunning views of the sunrise over the ocean and the infinity pool. The staff were friendly and attentive, which added to the experience. However, I encountered some issues with the air conditioning in my room, which made it uncomfortable at times. Overall, I would definitely return for the beautiful location and relaxing atmosphere.

My stay at the resort was a mixed bag. The setting is absolutely stunning, with beautiful grounds and a fantastic pool area, but the experience was marred by poorly managed service and frustrating issues with my booking. While the cottages were lovely, the staff seemed overwhelmed, which really detracted from the overall enjoyment. If they can sort out these service problems, they could have something amazing on their hands.

I just got back from an amazing stay at Mnarani. The views are stunning, and the swimming pool is truly the best I've experienced. The staff, especially Jackline, went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. However, I did encounter a minor issue with the air conditioning in my room. Overall, it's a perfect place for relaxation and adventure!
