May 2010, Happy Customer

We travelled to Severin Sea Lodge last year and will be going again this year. We enjoyed our experience immensely and in complete contrast to the review from Jun 2006. We did not find any mould or moss growing on or in the bungalows and found when we arrived that we had... more

I loved it here. The people were lovely and the food was brilliant. So much to do and see. Went on the Tsavo Safari booked with First Choice and it was amazing. Would advise to go here. The hotel was superb. I personally couldn't fault it. It is by far the best place to... more

Having read some of the other views on the hotel, what people seem to forget is that it is situated in Africa, which is one of the poorest countries in the world. What were they expecting? I have just arrived back from a two week stay at the Severin and it has to be one of... more

Not up to 4 star standard. Had to upgrade room after 2 nights, air conditioning did not work properly. We were only upgraded after seeing the rep, who was very good. Had to pay for upgrade but in our opinion, this room was still not up to 4 star standard although a lot... more

We went on holiday to the above hotel departing 19th June for 14 nights on an AI basis. We did enjoy the holiday, but have the following concerns over the hotel's 4 star (First Choice) rating. The hotel in general falls below the 4 star rating First Choice has awarded it. ... more

Not 4 star!!!
We stayed at the Severin Sea Lodge June/July 06. This hotel is supposed to be 4 star but we honestly found it to be 3 star, even less. Building works woke us up at 7.30 – 8am weekdays. The rooms were very basic, twin beds pushed together with a piece of foam down the middle, air con that didn't work and was very noisy to boot, mould in the shower and everything smelt musty and damp. Service in the second week was very slow; an hour wait for 2 coffees and a bottle of water! The FC rep was not professional and didn't do anything about... more
fabulous
Loved our stay at this hotel, the staff, the rooms and the surroundings were excellent, the food was great and there was a good selection although in week 2 it can become a bit repetitive so we went to the imani dhow which was great, the food was first class and not expensive at all (compared to how much you would pay back home) we went on a 4 day safari which I booked online before we left (secrets of africa) which was brilliant, our driver Charles was 1st class, the lodges were excellent even the tented accomodation in Tsavo East (we were... more
Hakuna Matata (No problem!!)
Firstly I feel I need to say that last year we travelled to the Maldives and Sri Lanka, a holiday that we thought would be hard to beat, however Kenya surpassed our expectations and we certainly hope to return again one day. Secondly – disclaimer – this review is a long one but we hope a fair one, tho of course all reviews are subjective & this is only our experience. Where to start! Ok. The beginning I guess. Firstly the First Choice flight was fantastic. We upgraded to premium service (both having long legs!), so... more
Isolated location, but Ok for a week
We stayed here for a week in Feb and found that the people were generally friendly, although the beach bar staff weren't at all friendly. Bed was very uncomfortable, and the air con switched itself off when you left your room which meant you came back to a hot stuffy room at the end of the day. No TV whcih was fine for us, but room was basic and some lights didn't work and on 2 days our room didn;t get cleaned at all. Beach was small and at low tide ahd seaweed on it. When the tide came in the waves could be rough and watch out for... more
Severin Sea Lodge, Loved it! Great staff and a total chill down
Ok so we had our 3 glorious weeks at the Severin Sea Lodge resort and what a great time we had, in total there was 7 of us including the two grannies, 3 kids and us, so had 3 rooms. We were all together within like a lodge, the rooms are air conditioned and all beds have mozzie nets as standard. The food is of a very good standard and the all inclusive is an excellent package,there is not much that is not on the all inclusive at all, you could if you were that way inclined, eat and drink all day as there is always service available... more
Want to go back!
We have just got back from Kenya and definitely have the post holiday blues! The hotel was very relaxed and the rooms clean. We had no stomach problems whatsoever nor did we get bitten by any mosquitos.The staff at the hotel couldn't do enough and we could learn a lot from their outlook on life. They have so little but give so much. Talking of giving, be prepared to tip, we found little but often helps the service even more! The beach causes a lot of people problems it seems with other reviewers but we found that a game of beach... more
Overall great holiday and experiences tired and average hotel
Hi we are just back 2 days ago from 2 weeks at the Severin Sea Lodge. Just logged on to post my review and our thoughts and experiences almost mirror the previous review from the couple from Vancouver. We would have also rated the hotel around the 2* mark and definitely not 4* we have also travelled around the world a fair bit and must say when we arrived our initial reaction was that of disappointment. The main reception area is nice and looks quite tropical, but as many other comments the room are very basic. Our first room... more
First Class!!!
My Girlfriend and I visited the Severin Sea Lodge in June 2006. The hotel was fantastic, a few little niggly points - such as the shower being warm not hot.....not a problem at all - its a two week stay, I'm sure you can get over it! I have just read a few recent reviews that have said the food was poor and the hotel was more like a 2*!! That really is the biggest load of rubbish i have ever heard in my life. The food was lovely, five course waiter service dinner at night and if you didnt fancy that there were plenty of other options.... more
Not the best place we have stayed at but it was okay for Africa
We just returned from a one-week stay at this resort and had booked this hotel based on the reviews on Tripadvisor as a 4* resort. However, we have travelled around the world and we would have rated this hotel as a 2* according to our standards as it was a clean but basic resort. I think if one has not travelled much and does not have high expectations this place would be okay to stay at but not the ideal place for a seasoned pampered traveller. We had booked through a First Choice all-inclusive package and got a really good deal to... more
Feeling very chilled out!
We have just come back from this hotel after having two blissful weeks away. The weather in the last week of June was about 27c and showery with the odd blast of sunshine, but the first week of July it didn't rain at all. It hasn't stopped us getting a good suntan though... The hotel itself is lovely, very well laid out with two pools(which i have to say where a lot colder than the sea!!) Very clean and tidy. The rooms where very basic and did smell quite damp the first week, but always had dry clean bedding. We stayed in the... more
