Description

Shimoni Reef Lodge started as a fishing camp in the 1980s. Over the years we have added the snorkelling trips, diving and island exploring and upgraded the level of comfort and accommodation without losing touch with the barefoot, casual atmosphere that makes Shimoni feel like you're at home.

We've kept Shimoni Reef outdoorsy, unpretentious and focused on the personalised service and our relationship with nature. Many of the staff have been with us forever and take enormous pride in hosting you.

You'll be greeted with a smile and welcome cocktail by our local Kenyan team, who are totally dedicated to delivering an inspirational stay in Shimoni. Every guest gets personalised attention. Our friendly staff will oversee your daily itinerary, your meals and any other details to make sure your adventure is as memorable as it is comfortable.

    The location, dining area has a beautiful lookout, cottage #1 where we stayed had a beautiful view. Air conditioned room. Restaurant staff tried hard under challenging circumstances. Potentially lovely gardens but unkempt

    The staff (especially Sami) was incredibly friendly and really made our stay memorable from the welcoming at the hotel to recommending great tips in the local area. The view from our room and the restaurant of the hotel was splendid and the hotel had a very relaxing vibe to it. The food served was delicious (fresh seafood and fish) and Shimoni village is very vibrant and friendly.

    The rate rooms are slightly over-priced, so as many hotels on the Kenyan coast, but it's still the nicest one to stay in if you travel up to Shmoni/Wasini.

    Lovely garden cottage, with good facilities. Gardens with lovely flowering trees and views over the harbour and towards Wasini. Warm, friendly and efficient staff.

    We weren't over keen on one dinner, but it was ok
