Why Travelers Love Maasai Beach
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Maasai Beach with it's powdery soft white sand is such a hidden gem in Nyali. The Beach is always clean, safe, and perfect for an early morning or evening walk. The locals are friendly, and the beach never feels overcrowded. The views are beautiful, especially around sunset. There are a few local guys offering jetski rides and snorkeling trips I'm not happy with the service at the restaurant. The service time is too long over an 1hr to be served an English Breakfast whilst the place is not packed. The waiter disappears for a very long time without checking if I'm still ok. But what makes matters worse is that on your menu, you do not stipulate the different tea options you have. I was surprised to be served tea premixed with dairy milk without my consent or prior being informed of the options. When I told the waiter that I'm allergic to dairy, they told me that I was supposed to have mentioned prior to ordering that i don't want milk ,bear in mind that no written tea options, no written descriptions of the teas - no waiter asked if you want black tea or with milk. What's visibly shown on the menu is ginger tea. When I asked to speak to the manager they said they weren't available,I asked why, they said they are currently out - imagine. Eventually, another waiter understood & gave me the tea advertised on the menu included in the English breakfast. Recommendation : Write on the menu what the customer should know prior to ordering: 3 tea options: Black ,with milk or ginger tea. Alternatively The waiter must tell the customer: " We have 3 different tea options, black with milk ginger,which 1 would you prefer? Disclaimer, the kitchen staff will mix the milk in your tea for you if you pick this option. Why ? - Its a proactive approach - Reduces friction between myself as a customer and the waiter - My expectations are better managed. The Live Band here Rocks.. They sing all genres of music.. Yummy Choma.. Very Nice view of the Beach.. Affordable prices of drinks..

The location is undeniably stunning—right by the ocean, with a refreshing breeze and panoramic views that make for a relaxing atmosphere. The décor, inspired by Maasai culture, adds a unique touch and sets the mood for a coastal escape.

Best thing about this place is the view. Food is decent but needs salt; however the wait takes way too long to make up for view.
