Jacaranda Indian Ocean Beach Resort is a basic, affordable accommodation should you prefer a self-directed beach tour of Mombasa and require only a simple guest room for rest and preparation. 25 of the 100 Ocean Front Rooms face the Indian Ocean while the rest of them are categorized as standard Club Rooms. Amenities include air conditioning, ceiling fan, en-suite bathroom with bathtub and shower, coffee/tea maker, mini bar and private veranda, as well as a personal safe that you can use for an additional cost. Your small guest room may feel somewhat heaving but adequate, yet dated with furnishings that include twin or double beds with mosquito netting, nightstands, small table, chair and writing desk. General housekeeping and maintenance at the hotel is knotty at times, such as plumbing issues in the bathroom and faulty television, ceiling fan and air conditioning, and when combined with the tropical heat, these issues may vitiate the quality of your fun-filled beach vacation in Kenya (read more on where else to stay in South Coast Mombasa - Kenya). Wi-Fi is available for a fee, but internet connectivity is inconsistent in the guest rooms so for consistent usage, head down to the main building where the router is located. Resident monkeys are known to examine items from balconies so don’t keep any items hanging around and ensure your doors are closed. Rooms on the left side and first floor of the property are most likely to give you a peaceful and scenic beach travel experience in this part of south coast Mombasa and the large corner Ocean Front Rooms have excellent natural light. For AfricanMecca guests with limited mobility, the hotel has one room that is equipped with support railings in the bathroom, as well as a walk-in shower.

The hotel’s four restaurants offer adequate and palatable seafood, local dishes and light meals, in both indoor and outdoor settings, though seasonal guest arrivals limits the availability of all four restaurants being open throughout the year. Overlooking the ocean, Spices is the hotel’s main restaurant that offers buffet-style dining that highlights a fusion of Indian Ocean delicacies, and Bahari Cove, located on the beach, features “Swahili-style” seafood. Step into an authentic boma village at Jungle Village, where you are the guest at Kenyan dinner banquet of traditional dishes served around a bonfire available during theme nights only, and for a quick meal during your activity-intense beach trip in East Africa, the Ocean Terrace is an outdoor dining venue that features sandwiches and dishes that are prepared in a Tandoori oven. Jacaranda Indian Ocean Beach Resort also has four bars that serve wine, beer and spirits, and while at the hotel, you may enjoy the live entertainment on certain nights, lounging by the pool or simply watching the world go by from your balcony. The hotel is conveniently located near the most popular local attractions, such as wildlife safari to Shimba Hills, tour of the street markets of Ukunda, marine safari to Kisite Mpunguti Marine National Park, to name only a few of the excursions that are available for your exploratory beach holiday on the Indian Ocean with AfricanMecca, and there are also plenty of water-sport activities available around Diani, from windsurfing, deep sea fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling to jet-skiing and many other ways to enjoy the spectacular setting of sand and ocean.
