Voyager Beach Resort Hotel

eating or eating/drinking & reading! Apparently it was the worst weather in living memory for the beginning/middle of October. More like Manchester and Glasgow rolled into one.

Standard of food at the buffet was generally good, occasionally the meat was very tough but the vegetarian options were so good that it didn't seem to matter, and the night we docked� in China the stir frys were excellent.

The meal at the Fish A la Carte (Smugglers Cove) was absolutely outstanding, wish we had gone more than once, and reasonably priced. The Italian A la Carte wasn't quite as good, perfectly acceptable food-but the service seemed strained as both times we we went they were running the invitational Captain's table at the same time, seemed to be a bit short staffed as the Customer Services Officer was doubling up as the wine waiter. Also the surroundings need sorting as it was a bit like eating in a partly lit church hall.

Service at the various bars was very good and we enjoyed all the included drinks that we tried, so much so that we never moved onto the name brands which would have cost extra.

Evening entertainment was generally very good with one or two exceptions - also relatively early (9:00pm - 10:00pm) which we appreciated - thoroughly enjoyed the shows put on by the entertainment staff and the band one night were excellent. As for the acrobatic troop they were fantastic.

Pools were all good, we spent most of our time by the infinity pool because we always got a lounger in a good spot. The sports pool was also good although it got more crowded. We never tried the fun pool although the slides seemed to be permanently out of use.

The beach we just used it when going into the sea for a swim, occasionally got accosted whether going in or out by the boys trying to flog keyrings, nameplates, safaris, boat trips, carved animals...however generally good natured and the hotel security definitely tightened up in the second week, forcing the boys to either end of the beach and stopping them from following clients too close to the steps.

All in all a thoroughly enjoyable stay, any questions please feel free to ask.

are better quality. We booked our safari from a nice guy called Stanley who stands down on the beach just outside the hotel. It worked out much cheaper than booking through the hotel and we had the most amazing time ever!! We would definately reccomend it. We saw four of the big five and much much more. If you get the chance stay here and enjoy safari in Tsavo East and West. You cant beat it!

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!

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!!

a sea food restaurant that you get 50% off.

The glass bottom boat is great - you pay approx

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.
