Chale Island Resort

It’s a beautiful property to begin with. It has its own clean beach and multiple water activities 2 swimming pools. Beautiful views from the room, an average spa . The staff is nice and helpful. It was my husband‘s birthday. They were sweet to get a cake and do some arrangements in the room. They have nice restaurants and alcohol. Only limitation. I felt was the limited vegetarian options. They don’t have any Asian food. They do have a small sushi bar, so if you are a vegetarian and non-alcoholic keep your stay because the property is beautiful, but the food options will tire you out. They can’t anything much on a demand. The Indian Patient are also just below average overall a scenic, beautiful property and great Staff.

Outstanding in all areas of customer care . Every member of staff was totally dedicated and professional. Their genuine friendliness and fabulous standards of service were a delight. A special mention for the lady that runs the boutique shop who was incredibly helpful . The lady that runs the bar at the pool with the sushi facility was lovely and encouraged my efforts at Swahili ! Fabulous choice of catering facilities available and the standard of Cuisine was exceptional . The accommodation was beautiful and housekeeping to be congratulated on their high standards of cleanliness . The venue is paradise. Loved the fact we were joined on several occasions by the Colobus monkeys. The mangrove forest walkway and the snorkelling were highlights of our visit. Sincere thanks to the management and staff for an unforgettable and magical 70th birthday.A stay beyond my wildest dreams.Asanti sana

This is our 4th visit and we just love it. We have always stayed in one of the beach cottages which are excellent. It is immaculately clean, the service is excellent. Food is very varied with a variety of specials in the main restaurant. We love snorkelling and that is really good too. Andrea remains the most hands on Manager I have ever met and this is surely why the standards remain so high. Special thanks to Dave, who runs all things food and drinks, we love the sunset bar. However, all the staff are just brilliant, so friendly and nice. We would love to stay again and if we are on safari this is where we will stay for relaxation at the end.

A magical stay at this private island reserve that has everything: good snorkeling, reef walks, mangrove kayaking and a lovely beach. Beautiful rooms and surroundings with several pools, exquisite food and excellent service. We enjoyed our guided walk around the island during low tide with the experienced biologist who taught us lots about the marine life.|We enjoyed the special ‘tractor limo service’ that took us from the mainland out to this special sanctuary.|A truly 5 star experience in the middle of nature.

After looking at the website and following their socials, I was so excited for our stay at Chale Island — and it lived up to the hype. What a beautiful place. We stayed in an ocean view banda and enjoyed the comfort, privacy and view. The outdoor shower area was a handy and surprise addition to the beautiful bathroom, the bed was comfortable, and the coffee options were plentiful. It was hot and humid outside (especially by California standards), so the AC was appreciated. The front desk and housekeeping staff were all lovely. ||I wish we had stayed longer to be able to do more activities. A true highlight was the snorkeling by boat (I did it two days in a row) and the mangrove boat tour, both with Paul from the water sports center. He is a gem. He takes good care of everyone on board the small boat, shares interesting information, and is just a cool guy. He was so helpful with another guest who was nervous about snorkeling, and she had the best time, thanks to him. ||Other highlights included a wonderful massage in the spa and chatting while shopping with the lovely woman who runs the boutique. The breakfast buffet was full of interesting and delicious options. We found the three restaurants to be good for dinner, but nothing outstanding. We loved the sunset bar. ||And yes, the tractor ride at low tide back to the mainland is fun. As I said, this place lives up to its hype. This was a great add-on to our Maasai Mara safari adventure. If we are ever in Kenya again, we will be back!

Epic place to stay! Finished up a safari and this was an excellent place to stay on the coast! Food is good, the staff are extremely friendly. The activities provided by the hotel are excellent and during November were completely free including the diving! We would highly recommend a stay here!

It was a perfect way to end a safari.|Stayed in an ocean view banda for 4 nights. |Staff was always helpful and friendly.|Steps from the beach. Sometimes preferred to just enjoy the view and privacy from our own patio.|I really appreciated and enjoyed the simple quiet around the entire grounds.|No loud pumped in music here just the sound of the surf especially at high tide.|Approximately 40 minute drive from Ukunda airport.

Best retreat after few days of safari! Great place (upgrade to private bungalow if you may). Food is very good and service attentive. Cocktails need a bit more consistency! Enjoy the scenery!
