What guests think
Across recent reviews, Cocoa Luxury Resort, Nyali earns praise for its beachfront setting, sea views, large pool, gym sessions, and generally friendly staff, but repeated complaints cite dated facilities, widespread maintenance issues, and cleanliness shortfalls.
Guests report slow responses, check-in hiccups, billing confusion, and occasional mix-ups, plus outages like a nonworking lift and room problems that required moves or late-night fixes. Food feedback is mixed: some enjoyed particular dishes or breakfast, but others found limited variety, poor taste, high prices, or restrictive policies; Wi-Fi can be slow and the public beach ranges from lively to littered. Overall, expect seaside scenery, with comfort depending on your tolerance for wear and inconsistency.

Facilities
The large pool and an OK gym are appreciated. Facilities feel dated, with reports of a broken elevator, a damaged bar area, and grounds needing repair.

Expedia check in (again, had the same in Meru) not registered properly. So off to a rough start. Nice location. Lift not working. Properly not really kept, can use some work. Indian food very nice. Coffee meh. Pizza was terrible, deep frozen factory produced. Staff generally friendly. Place has potential but needs some TLC across all areas

ROOM OK but could be better..shhets not veey clean. I aslo had to pay a higher price than the Hotels.com.price 214 USD but was charged 22 USD as theybused their own exchange rate. Staff nice. Extremly expensive breakfast 2500 KES /20 USD not included in the room It is not Luxury but very run down.Restaurang seems to very popr - so.many complaomt and expe aive so I never tried it but find very good places outside with normal with decent prices and high quality Beach very dirty with platic bottles and debris everywhere. Also sewage system from Mombasa goes straigh out in the sea so swimming there to avoided. However the 33 m swimming pool was nice and clean and the gym ok in partcular the gym master trainers hat gave training couses in the morning. But overall the hotel.is overrated and it seems like no investment is done to improve the pla e.

How Expedia rates this 3 stars is baffling. 78 countries maybe 1,000 hotel rooms this is in the filthiest bathroom and pillows. No toilet paper, water in shower was brackish not fresh. Mold everywhere. Total rip off, complain to the front desk they just look at you, well you where stupid enough to book it. Especially when price is as high as it is. Place is literally falling apart, roof of part of the pool bar collapsed, luckily no one sitting there. Local guide reviews are bogus.

Unfortunately, my stay at this hotel was far from satisfactory. The room and bathroom were very dirty, and all the furnishings were old and neglected. The mosquito net was terribly dusty and had stains from squashed mosquitoes, which was not only unpleasant but also gave the impression that hygiene is not a priority here. Additionally, the check-in process was lengthy because they couldn’t find my reservation confirmation, and I had to send them an email with the confirmation. The towels were also dirty. Furthermore, the photos on Expedia do not reflect the actual condition of the rooms – everything looked much better in the pictures than in reality. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this hotel if you care about cleanliness and good conditions.

The compound is not maintained one would wonder if a snake wouldnt crawl in from somewhere. The room had no soap and had to call to ask . Mosquito nets dont close completely . Beach is very nice and better than most hotels , but very crowded !

Unfortunately did not enjoy my stay, this property is outdated and needs a lot of improvement the room had a mouldy smell and bathroom with shower curtains were very dirty. Dinning room staff were very pushy and not able to help with the basics, the food was not up to scratch. the besting about this place is its location on the beach other than that it need demolish and start a fresh. I will not recommend to anyone.

The only slight problem was the wifi connection. It was slow at times. I would recommend this place to anyone considering staying on Nyali beach.

On returning to the room hoping for a shower at about 11/11.30pm I found the bathroom was flooded with water which seeped halfway into the bedroom. Fortunately, my bags were at the other end of the bedroom and so stayed dry. It was cleaned up in about an hour and a half or so. This meant I did not get to shower till much later, delaying my sleep. We organised a later check out the morning after.

There was not enough workers. If you need something you have to ask like at least 5-6 times until you get it. We were waiting for an iron for almost 2 hours. Very long waits for orders and every time you ask for help or something, the staff disappears. I would recommend staying somewhere else.

Staff were generally friendly, but reception tried to charge 3500 for my guest when they joined me I had booked for 2 people. Eventually they let it go without patment - I don't know if it was a mistake or they tried to cheat us. We tried 2x to order food (a la carte), 2 dishes each (4 total), the 2nd time thinking we were maybe just unlucky with the 1st order. Everything had a bad taste, wouldn't ever eat there again. I didn't try the buffet so can't comment on that. Overall the staff were pleasant, friendly, and went above and beyond. Rooms a little dated but well maintained. I just wish they would get a cook who's trained, and ensure the receptionist isn't trying to add on extra charges. Pools, view, proximity to the ocean were all perfect.

The breakfast was ok and the staff were friendly and helpful. They could use a variety of food . I stayed for 4 nights and the food was the same the whole time. The compound is not maintained one would wonder if a snake wouldnt crawl in from somewhere. The room had no soap and had to call to ask . Mosquito nets dont close completely . Beach is very nice and better than most hotels , but very crowded !

Flotte omgivelser og hyggelige ansatte. Hotellet er gammalt innvendig, men uteområdet er fantastisk.

I didn’t expect much from this place before I booked it but I was completely surprised after the first day. The property was right on the beach and the staff was great and friendly. The only slight problem was the wifi connection. It was slow at times. I would recommend this place to anyone considering staying on Nyali beach.

ROOM OK but could be better..shhets not veey clean. I aslo had to pay a higher price than the Hotels.com.price 214 USD but was charged 22 USD as theybused their own exchange rate. Staff nice. Extremly expensive breakfast 2500 KES /20 USD not included in the room It is not Luxury but very run down.Restaurang seems to very popr - so.many complaomt and expe aive so I never tried it but find very good places outside with normal with decent prices and high quality Beach very dirty with platic bottles and debris everywhere. Also sewage system from Mombasa goes straigh out in the sea so swimming there to avoided. However the 33 m swimming pool was nice and clean and the gym ok in partcular the gym master trainers hat gave training couses in the morning. But overall the hotel.is overrated and it seems like no investment is done to improve the pla e.

三つ星ホテルと自覚して泊まりましょう。エントランスはとてもきれいですが、建物自体が年季が入っていて、部屋は結構ボロいです。 家族等とのバカンス目的ではオススメしません。個人旅行なら海が近くにあって、風が心地よいので、また機会があれば行ってみたいと思います。

Dining
Feedback is inconsistent: some guests liked certain dishes or the buffet, but many noted limited variety, poor taste, and high prices; breakfast often felt repetitive.

Unfortunately did not enjoy my stay, this property is outdated and needs a lot of improvement the room had a mouldy smell and bathroom with shower curtains were very dirty. Dinning room staff were very pushy and not able to help with the basics, the food was not up to scratch. the besting about this place is its location on the beach other than that it need demolish and start a fresh. I will not recommend to anyone.

Expedia check in (again, had the same in Meru) not registered properly. So off to a rough start. Nice location. Lift not working. Properly not really kept, can use some work. Indian food very nice. Coffee meh. Pizza was terrible, deep frozen factory produced. Staff generally friendly. Place has potential but needs some TLC across all areas

Elevator was not operating and I was on the 4th floor. Bathroom sink hot water barely a trickle. Purchased a slice of cake in the lounge - the cake was dry and had a weird chemical taste. Housekeeping turned of the main light switch and room had no electricity when I came back and I had to call the front desk to have them send technician to resolve. When I checked I had forgotten my room keys in the room and they wanted to charge me for a key despite inconveniencing me as described above. The only positive I have to add is Lilian who was at the reception. She genuinely wanted my feedback

Staff were generally friendly, but reception tried to charge 3500 for my guest when they joined me I had booked for 2 people. Eventually they let it go without patment - I don't know if it was a mistake or they tried to cheat us. We tried 2x to order food (a la carte), 2 dishes each (4 total), the 2nd time thinking we were maybe just unlucky with the 1st order. Everything had a bad taste, wouldn't ever eat there again. I didn't try the buffet so can't comment on that. Overall the staff were pleasant, friendly, and went above and beyond. Rooms a little dated but well maintained. I just wish they would get a cook who's trained, and ensure the receptionist isn't trying to add on extra charges. Pools, view, proximity to the ocean were all perfect.

The front staff are very friendly 💯👏👏 however during dinner, there were no varieties and also drinks were not included, at least a glass of juice per person would work. I Also requested for a packed breakfast, however there was no menu to choose from, and also was packed without cutlery. My daughter accidentally scratched her face at the beach, we requested for a first aid or an Elastoplast, only to be told it was not available. At the poolside, we ordered chicken nuggets and lollipops but they were not well cooked. I called the waiter to send the food back to the kitchen, but we never saw the food again
