PrideInn Flamingo Beach Resort & Spa Mombasa

PrideInn Flamingo Beach Resort & Spa Mombasa

10/10 Excellent
"I had an unforgettable stay at PrideInn Flamingo. The hotel itself is magical, but what truly stood out was the warm hospitality of the staff. Mercy, Sharon, and the Palm Restaurant team were so kind and attentive, while Francis, George, and the housekeeping staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The animation team kept us entertained with captivating performances, and the reception staff handled every query with professionalism. Special thanks to Cindy, Asia and Cynthia for their helpfulness and friendly nature. I can’t wait to return with my whole family—thank you for such a wonderful summer!"
