I am from Kenya and have been to Mombasa several times. In fact I was there was millenium as well. Well people have different views about different places as they hear different things from other people. I would agree that Kenya in general is quite unsafe if you don't take care but if you do the necessary preparations to avoid getting into these circumstances, you will be just fine. Mombasa is a lovely city with white sandy beaches. Divided into 2...the north and south coast both have hotels alond the beach. These hotels are all exclusive and they would be having all sorts of facilities from swimming pools to tennis courts to squash courts to bars to restaurants to pool games to acrobatics entertainment. There is a lot going on. There are also quite a few really nice clubs on the beach which play till the early morning hours of the day which gives you a chance to see the sunrise. The things to watch out for are the beachboys who might try to sell you drugs or influence you to get into other illegal practices. They are quite surprising as some of them know quite a few of the european languages so don't swear at them in your language when you are around them.
