I recently had the pleasure of booking a deep tissue massage session with Jian, and it was truly an outstanding experience. From start to finish, Jian demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise. Her deep tissue techniques were incredibly effective, and she really helped relieve the long-term tension I had in my back. I felt completely at ease and in very capable hands throughout the entire session. I can’t recommend her highly enough if you’re looking for a skilled and caring massage therapist.

Very clean! Safe. Didn’t use the pool but hotel amenities were great! Gym was well appointed, clean and very well maintained Massage services offered didn’t have a dedicated spa area. Rather massages were given in spare hotel rooms. Explains the “affordable” prices offered. Let’s just say the massages my wife and I received from Eve and Jane were absolutely outstanding. Very professional and extremely well done! From our discussions with both Eve and Jane we understand both are trained as Massage Therapist and the treatments we received were worth every penny! Hopefully a dedicated spa facility will be available to truly showcase the spa services. Staff in the dining area and front desk very extremely polite and friendly. Service was excellent!

Comfortable stay

I had a short overnight at Tamarind Tree hotel - I was joining a tour to Masai Mara early morning with breakfast included with my tour. The hotel is clean and staff pleasant. I was surprised that there was a hole where the mini bar should have been. I was told that it was given on request. The mini bar should have been there based on the rate charged.

We stayed at the Tamarind Tree for one night in August of 2024. The hotel presents as a high-end business hotel. It is located in a neighborhood that one might think twice about walking around in, however, the hotel itself is very secure and felt very safe. The room was quite large, clean and comfortable. The pool and restaurant are very nice and clean and the breakfast buffet was much better than average. The staff was very helpful in every way. We stayed there due to it both being close to Wilson Airport (we were headed out to Masai Mara) and it being close to Carnivore Restaurant, which we wanted to try. In fact the Carnivore is actually part of the hotel property and a hotel staff member walked us on a nice pathway straight to the restaurant, and one of the restaurant security members walked us back. I would still have felt secure without the escort, but it was nice. We would definitely stay there again in the future.
