Voyager Beach Resort Mombasa is one of the Vibrant Mombasa Hotels
Voyager Beach Resort Mombasa is one of the popular Mombasa hotels. This Mombasa beach hotel is located along the up market Nyali beach, barely 7 km (4 miles) from the Mombasa city center.

Besides offering a range of water sports, its central location makes it a good base to launch excursions to a range of Mombasa tourist attractions such as Mombasa Marine Park, Fort Jesus Mombasa, Mamba Crocodile Farm and the incomparable Haller Park (formerly Bamburi Nature Trail).
The world class Mombasa restaurants are also easily accessible from Voyager Beach Resort Mombasa.
Besides the ability to explore Mombasa's thrilling sporting, cultural and historical delights, Voyager is equally loved for its family entertainment bonanza...
With everything from exciting animation programs, to acrobatic, music to cultural shows, every family is virtually guaranteed an unforgettable beach holiday filled with lots of fun and laughter. The icing on the cake is the Mombasa hotel's Adventurers' Club that keeps pre-teen children occupied.

Resident Guest Reviews
This section highlights what real travelers liked and disliked about the Voyager Beach Resort Mombasa.
What Guests Liked
The hotel boasts some excellent facilities and activities at an excellent price so it offers very good value for money.
Friendly, fast and hassle-free check ins.
The resort's beautiful location along the prestigious Nyali beach.
An excellent, supervised children's club that keeps their inquisitive minds occupied. The guided Haller Park tours seem to particularly be a hit.
Very friendly staff who learn and remember your name and smilingly call out "jambo" at every opportunity.
The buffet breakfast and main meals are excellent as they offer a wide choice and there is something for everyone. Smugglers' Cove has superb food and it gets better; you get a 50 percent discount if you are an all-inclusive guest.
The large tropical gardens are clean and well-tended.
The pools are fun particularly during the Easter and Christmas holidays when special activities are offered. The animation team is also excellent.
The Voyager Beach Hotel Mombasa is close to many of the Mombasa tourist attractions and restaurants so it is easy and inexpensive to explore the world outside the hotel.
What Guests Disliked
It can get noisy in the rooms that are adjacent the night entertainment venue and disco.
The Voyager is unsuitable for people with mobility problems because even with the ground floor rooms, you have to negotiate several rugged stairs to get to the restaurants and other public spaces.
The rooms are a tad tired and could do with major retrofitting.
The non-smoking zones of the Voyager should be expanded as non-smokers have to put up or go through smoking zones.
Summary
Of all the Mombasa hotels, the Voyager Beach Resort, "moored" along the prestigious Nyali beach probably offers the best value for money.
It offers great value and is an excellent choice for those with pre-teenage children. It is also located close to many of the sought-after Mombasa tourist attractions.
If you are looking for a memorable Mombasa vacation, you owe it to yourself to strongly consider the Voyager Beach Resort Mombasa.
