Severin Sea Lodge

Severin offers a nice balance between the natural beauty of Mombassa and the modern comforts of a well managed beach resort. The buffet food was good at every meal, breakfast and dinner. The fresh local produce was expertly prepared. I appreciated the attention to healthy options including the morning glass of detox juice and the sunflower seeds, fresh yogurt and muesli. The vegetable dishes at dinner were so tasty. Every nite there were so many delicious options. The fry stations provided a wonderful selection of meats and seafood. Simple dishes including coleslaw and salads were turned into wonderful creations with seafood, fruits, avocado and nuts. I appreciated the pictorial history of the resort showing the family roots from Europe and the local Kenyan involvement. The current manager, Tuva, can be seen throughout the resort actively participating in the operations of the facility. The staff is of the highest calibre, genuinely friendly and sincerely concerned with each clients enjoyment. Around 4:00pm each day a large troop of monkeys appear in the beautiful grass and garden area between the buildings housing the guests rooms. They are so much more entertaining and cooperative than the squirrels and raccoons of Canada. The beach has many local vendors and service providers who are all respectful of the hotel guests and can provide many options to enhance your stay. I highly recommend a snorkel excursion aboard the Mullah with captain Sinbad. It was one of the most spectacular swims, with giant coral, rays, sea snakes, a wide variety of coloured fish and the largest and fastest lobster I have ever seen. Sinbad goes on the swim with the group expertly pointing out the attractions. Bring your underwater camera. The tide goes way out each day so get your swims in early and late. This is convenient avoiding the midday sun. Water shoes are helpful to explore the expanded beach area at low tide.

I stayed a week over New Year’s Eve with my family in this beautiful resort. Extremely welcoming staff, newly refurbished rooms, and amazing facilities. A warm acknowledgment to Tuva, the general manager, and all the staff for ensuring excellence in hotel services. A special mention also to chef Charles and its staff, who ran a 24/7 kitchen serving amazing food from all over the world. Also thanks to Masha, our hospitality assistant for making our stay comfortable. And last but not least, a big shout out to the gardeners, security and pool staff for keeping the hotel on point. It has been a memorable vacation and we look forward to coming back!

The location is right next to the beach in a beautiful setting/surroundings. There's various activities to do from water aerobics, table tennis, darts, night entertainment, and, of course, walks on the beach. One could also go on boat rides or jet skis offered. Loved everything this hotel had to offer, and my room was perfect as it faced the entertainment floor, one of the pools, and the beach (Room 407, which was classed as a bungalow). The aircon worked perfectly for Mombasa weather. The staff were amazing and could not do enough for you. I'm already planning my next visit as I write, lol.

The breakfast was really amazing, provided variety, at the spacious restaurant with a great ocean view .just beautiful ❤️ the room was equally spacious and cozy with a nice garden view . nice welcome with the cool towels was also a lovely touch staff is very helpful and swift The dinner buffet is also nice. swimming pool is super clean, I loved the jaccuzzi

This is our third stay at Severin Sea Lodge. We stayed for 10 nights in a comfort bungalow, which is definitely worth the small price for the upgrade. We now consider Severin as our home away from home. The service is impeccable, everyone is very friendly. The facilities are spotlessly clean, and I’m a very picky traveler. We had only one minor issue with the room safe not working properly, but they immediately arrived and replaced it. The food choices are great. The pool and surrounding areas are fabulous. I could go on and on, but I highly recommend this resort.
