we stayed in the sun n sand club in 2002,and loved it.We payed £559 for 2 weeks all inc.The rooms were amazing,large& furnished with carved dark wooden furnishings,huge beds,and a good sized balcony.The bedding &towels were changed every other day and the whole place was spotless.The food was served buffet style in the massive main dining room with endless choices for all meals.There was also an a la carte Chinese restaurant which had to be booked the day before and was included in the AI ,and there was a barbecue place too.The gardens were huge and filled with amazing flowers &plants and smelt heavenly. There was a huge pool and also a free form pool which flowed over a big part of the grounds and it was possible to swim to the outdoor eating areas ,pop out & eat lunch.There was entertainment every night,both local performers and cabaret ,as well as snake shows and discos for the kids.The staff were superb and couldnt do enough for you.My only problem was the location which was about 1 hour away from town and there were no taxis so any activities had to be booked via the rep.We did 3 safaris,one overnight,&two full day trips.You cant go to kenya and not do safari.Its so amazing.A bit pricey at £156 for overnight and approx £60 for full day,but a wonderful experience.If you like a book on holiday take your own.The brochure says theres a well stocked library but the books were all in German and English books in the hotel shop cost a fortune. We will definitly be going back to Mombasa but will look for a hotel nearer town as all the hotels we saw looked just as nice as ours
