“OK Alternative to beachfront”

Reviewed 4 January 2013

My husband and I stayed here for six nights over the Christmas period. For a Kenyan coast holiday you can either stay in one of the many resorts directly on the beach, or take the cheaper option of accommodation not on the beach but nearby with easy access. A number of the resorts allow non residents to use the beach,... More

I just travelled through Ethiopia and Nyali beach before ending up here. This is a really nice spot.
