We first went to Sun N sand in 2006 and it was great...it was one of the best hotels at the time. I went there last year in August and was utterly shocked at how run down it is now...its a skeleton of what used to be. The long 'river' pool was demolished and that side of the hotel too.... More

stayed here for two weeks for usual summer holiday,, first impressions, fantastic,, but start chipping away, you find basic faults, staff are brilliant, service to match, always got the underlying feeling something wasnt right, as you would expect this paradise to be perfect. The beach was a no go area, due to the beach boys selling their wares, and in... More

We had stayed at the Sun and Sand on our last visit but it is not on any travel brochures now. The original owner died and lhis son took over and doesnt seem like he is a good business person as he has had half the rooms demolished with the idea of building luxury appartments for families from the Nairobi...

We originally stayed here in 1995 (got engaged) and had a great time. It was lively, fresh and friendly with good food etc. We went back a second time to take the kids and we were disapointed. The place feels run down now, the staff seem tired and the food has lost its sparkle. If you do go, take a... More

If the rumours are true that Sun and Sand is being demolished to make way for Apartments then it will be sad. It wasn't the best hotel in the area but I rated it as excellent because when we stayed the food was great and The Staff were truely awesome. I had a massage and after, the Beauty Therepist took...

I was booked in for 3 nights at this hotel, but i had to be moved to a new hotel after seeing the condition it was in. The hotel is going to be demolished and changed into beach apartments, therefore the hotel is not being well maintained anymore. Most of the rooms are empty, they have started closing some bars...

The hotel has some of the most friendly and helpful staff I have ever come across. Though I got there late at night, they still waited to serve me a meal- it was past meal times, and were on hand to attend to me without any hint of impatience. The rooms are neat and even though one can see the... More
