After spending Christmas and New Year in the fine hotel, let me tell you how A+1 it is;

I had read how good this hotel was but nothing compares to actually being there yourself. The hotel is run on the idea that you are aboard a cruise ship! Which was fun to see where you had docked during the night. The food for that day was then loosely themed on that country. Most of the staff dress acording to that country too.

The hotel is set in beautiful grounds and the garden staff are always out pruning and titivating the lawns.

As I said, the food is loosely themed on what country you have docked in. There is always something there for even the fussiest of eaters. There are firm old favourites such as pasta, salad and potatoes but different things like; croccodile, oryx and african donuts (yum!)

The staff work very long hours but are always friendly towards you. If you tip them 100 shillings, which is about 75p, they will look after you all night. Cyrus was our favourite waiter. Over the Christmas period tables were set up on the lawns for evening meal, so the poor waiters were constantly lugging tables in and out of the dining room! but by the time you got up for breakfast the next day, everything was back in its place inside! but come supper, it was back outside again!

The pool staff were brilliant too. If all the sun beds were taken (which was most days and dont blame the Germans, it was the English!) The pool staff would find you beds and put them where ever you wanted them.

The animation team were the best I've every come accross, honestly they never stopped. They must have started work at 10am for pool activities and were still there at 10pm entertaining you with a show.

One incentive they have in getting people to take part in the activities is; every time you've played something, they give you a coloured bead. Which at the end of your holiday, you can trade them in at the shop for a hat, t shirt etc.

Whilst Im on about the shop; That has to be the best hotel shop I have ever been in! So cheap and plenty of everything! It was air-conditioned too which was a respite from the heat!

Dont take my word for it. Go visit this fantastic hotel. You wont be disapointed!

The hotel was perfect, the photo's in the brochure didn't do it justice. Beautiful beaches and the sea was a stunning array of colours. Camels waiting to take you for a ride, and traders wanting to sell you everything and anything (they're just trying to feed their families). Don't be conned into thinking you get a cheaper deal by giving them pens or pencils or clothes - they still take the same amount of money!! Look out for James Bond on the beach - he will look after you!

Make sure you wear shoes in the sea, and don't forget to save the beads you earn in the hotel activities. The animation team are wonderful but the events are a bit disorganised.

The rooms are very clean and modern and the staff are perfect.

The food is very varied and they try to cater for everyone, just remember even the English dishes are cooked in African style. Kenyan express is a local term for a funny tummy, be prepared for it - but it won't spoil your holiday! They will do all they can to make your holiday perfect.

Me and my boyfriend visited this hotel in Nov 06, we'd always wanted to do a safari holiday in Kenya and we couldnt have picked a better place to stay then at Voyager.

I had read many reviews on this hotel before we left and everyone of them lived up to my expectations.

We booked the holiday through Kuoni who were brilliant and managed to get us a really good deal. We stayed AI and did a 3 day safari as part of the package to Tsarvo East and West.

Ariving at the hotel was a welcome relief as it was pouring with rain, which we were told was unusual this time of year, the private driver who picked us up at the airport reassured me that it would not stay like this, and it didnt!

When we got to the hotel the staff were amazing, took are bags, let us sit down and relax, gave us a nice drink and some flannels to wash our faces with.

The Voyager is based around a ship theme and is quite large, so trying to work your way round the hotel is an adventure in itself, very interesting though just to have a walk around it and the staff and animation team are so friendly, they will stop and have a chat to you about anything, or even a game of darts or pool!

There are 3 pools, one "relaxing" pool which overlooks the beach/sea, very relaxing!! Another one which is more aimed at children and has a slide, the other pool is next to the bar area, this is where we wouldpark ourselves most days, easy access!

There is also a very wide and excellent menu choice, as i said before the hotel is based around a ship theme and every day we dock into a different port, therefore the menu changes daily, we stayed for 10 nights and never had the same food twice! Curry, fish, chicken (chips!), spaghetti, you name it and they had it, always served piping hot and very fresh. It didnt matter if you were late birds in the morning either as there was still plenting of food for those late breakfast diners! Also the lunch menu was great, you could opt for the buffet style or like we did a couple of times and order pizza's that they cook to order for you from the bar, no extra charge for this.

There is also a seafood/pizza restaurant which you will need to book a table, but no extra charge, would definitely recommend this as its in a little cove wihtin the hotel and there is authentic african singers that play in the background, very friendly and not in the slightest annoying.

The hotel room was brilliant, good size and although we only paid for a garden view room, we ended up with a sea-view and it was amazing, would recomend the upgrade. Maids cleaned the room daily and air-con was great, there was mozzie nets that went around the bed, not those annoying ones that fall from the ceiling onto you at night!

Entertainment was good too, very different selections every night from fire eaters to bands! Everyone at the hotel did their upmost best to make everyone have a good time. Staff were also keen to teach us african phrases we were thought was great and we got friendly with one waiter and every night he would teach us a new word!

The safari was AMAZING!! We were picked up early in the morning, but we were so excited are adrelin kept us awake in the day, we had a game drive in the morning, then eould visit our lodge to stay at night at lunchtime and have some lunch, then one for an afternoon game drive. All of the lodges that we stayed at were brilliant, staff again at these were great too. Very keen to answer any questions you have about the animals/wildlife.

One lodge that we stayed (cant remember the name!) had a log tree just outside, and at 10pm they would hang meat on it and leopards would come up and eat from the meat! We saw all the big 5 and many more including a scorpian!

For a couple in their early 20's we enjoyed everything about this holiday and the staff at the holiday and rep from Kunoi and safari guides could not have done enough for us, thank-you for making our time in Kenya so special!

Would i stay at this hotel again, MOST DEFINITELY!!

The Voyager is an excellent hotel.

The satff can't do enough for you.

The rooms are very clean and the grounds are kept in very good order. We were in a room which was right on the ocean front 1331 I think it was one of the best rooms in the hotel if you want a little peace and quiet.

The staff really make the holiday special wether the work in the front office or on security they are all committed to helping you. We went on the two day safari to the masai mara and stayed at the govenors camp which is reported to be the best hotel in the world all I can say is wow!! Go if you can the experience will stay with you for ever.

I would definitely recommend the Voyager and would go back if you can. Don't be put off by the beach sellers they are really friendly when you get to know them and only trying to make a living.

The hotel runs its own taxi service and will take you to the local supermarket. We visited the wood carving village where artist carve the wooden models and sell them in the shop. They are very skillful and a wonder to see.

The weather in August was warm not too hot but it can rain and rain heavy but then the sun comes out again but it did rain most days and can be a little windy you will still not be disapointed at the Voyager

Returned from the voyager 2 weeks ago - we had an amazing time the hotel is fab and I cant wait to go back - the staff are amazing and cant do enough for you, the friendly sound of "Jambo" stays with you.

The gardens etc are kept immaculate and for all there was refurb work going on when we were there it didn't spoil it one little bit. The pools are very clean and the pool guys very helpful.

The captains cocktail party was great and a chance to see exactly how many people are looking after you.
the restaurants are mint - theres a "cruise ship" theme throughout the hotel and when the ship "docks" the food etc is themed on that port. Theres also a lovely Italian which is part of all inc and a sea food restaurant that you get 50% off.

The glass bottom boat is great - you pay approx

Wow, what a holiday at the Voyager. Although the rooms are basic, they are clean and have good air conditioning, unlike the rest of the hotel which just relies on ceiling fans! It can, therefore, get a bit hot at dinner! Despite this I had a lovely time at the hotel. The adult only pool area is a great plus for anyone like me who doesn't want to be amongst loud and playful children. The view over the beach and the sea is lovely.

The staff at the Voyager are exceptional. They are very friendly and helpful. It was my birthday during the holiday and I was given a birthday cake at dinner! Bit embarrassing being on my own, but the thought was nice.

There are lots of monkeys around the hotel grounds and this certainly added to the excitement of being in Kenya. You don't get that on the Costa del Sol!!

The noise of the bull frogs on an evening is deafening, but wonderful!

I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone as there is something for everyone here.

If one wanted to be picky in the extreme it could be said that certain areas of the hotel need a paint brush, and some refurbishment or reupholstery of chairs around the dining area is required and the so called gym is a total wreck.

None of this matters not one little bit as this is without any question of doubt the best hotel of its class i have ever stayed in and I have travelled a lot!

The staff have to be the very ultimate in service and their freindship is genuine, I could write chapters on this but why?

It is as near paradise as one will find!

Thats it!

This was our first visit to this hotel, to Kenya and as a xmas abroad. We had a fantastic time, mainly due to the wonderful location of the hotel and the friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble for them.

They made sure that xmas and new year was really special, with a whole programme of activities, from the salvation army brass band to santa arriving on the lawns with a present for all the children.

If you don't want to participate in any of this, then that is no problem at all, but my children loved it. We had a superior sea facing rom, which was very nice, there is a kettle with tea and coffee, also a flask of "teeth cleaning" water is left in the bathroom every day.

Don't bother bringing towels, there are plenty provided at the pools. There are three pools, one is very quiet with no kids allowed. We didn't have any problem getting beds, the staff will walk around and find one for you.


The food is surprisingly good, maybe a little repetitive, but they made a huge effort to make every evening a special theme night over the xmas period.


The beach traders are persistent but don't let them put you off walking on the beach as it is beautiful. The hotel glass bottom boat ride is good - it cost us about

Just returned from a 2 week holiday over the Xmas/New year period. Arrived tired after a nine hour flight at 8am in the morning Could not have had a more friendly welcome with the greetings of "Jambo" we were ushered in to breakfast and our rooms were ready by nine. We had a sea view superior "cabin" for no extra charge as the hotel was full. The hotel Guests are mainly British French German and Kenyan locals

The Hotel was spotless clean set in beautiful gardens and the staff very friendly. It is set to the theme of a ship which they take very seriously Pool are set on different decks The staff are the crew including Captain, Officers etc. Each day the ship pulls in port at a different country. Italy Africa India etc And the theme for the entertainment/ food for that day will depend on the port of call.

There was a full entertaiment team with activies set all day. The childrens club operated all day for twelve hours including children suppers.

There were 3 pools One piping out loud music, one family and one quiet adult only.

Even though we went all inclusive(most guests are) you did not have to queue at the bars as they had staff bringing you drinks will you are on your sunbeds and at night waiter service at the bars.

Food.... The Xmas/New year gala dinners were amazing Beautiful presented in the gardens Under lights lots of choice to the accompanying noise of frogs(you will know what I mean if you vist) Until the entertaiment began.

The rest of the week the food was good a bit repetative.They do a full English breakfast with proper bacon. Vegaterians are well catered for. The pool bar Snack service provided pizzas burgers chips etc during the day. The all inclusive stops operating till midnight though there is a 24 hour pay bar.

This Hotel is a family paradise. Though been a couple in our late 40s who are for the first time enjoying "child free" holidays once you leave the child free pool it was difficult to find any quiet child free areas though this is probably only an issue over school holidays periods. There are many steps in the hotel grounds so it is probably not suitable for the less mobile.

The hotel has access to the beach but no sun beds or beach bar.

All in all brilliant beachside hotel set in beautiful surronds though probably more suited for families than couples.

Flew out 25.12.05 after Xmas lunch and arrived boxing day..what can I say. Fantastic!!!

All 12 of us rate this hol 110% from the accommodation, staff, food, locals all of it. The massage also good at 1500Ksh!

I did the horse riding in the croc park (not suitable for novice I would say) and this was 1.5 hours for 1500Ksh. Had a lazy horse called Mandella.

Trip to local Nuimarket(supermarket is 600Ksh from the hotel and they wait as long as you like and don't moan how long you have been!!!) Nothing really cheap but worth a look for great Kenya t-shirts all sizes 499Ksh. Booked day trip to Wasini island, great but long day enjoyed by all. Book with Bruno on the beach, no prob at all and 2 adults and 2 children was
