Top 10 All-Inclusive Resorts in Kenya

·Rare private-island setting in Kenya

Chale Island Resort is a private island off Kenya's south coast, for couples who want an overwater suite without leaving Africa. It is about 30 minutes from Ukunda's airstrip and then across to the island, with 60 rooms, three pools, and a dining lineup running from a sushi bar to a beach barbecue. The rooms are the story: one overwater suite, described as Kenya's first, and one Suite on the Rock on its own islet across a stone bridge.

·Strong Tripadvisor and Expedia review base.

PrideInn Flamingo sits on the sand at Shanzu, on the coast north of Mombasa, with 137 rooms and a large free-form pool at the centre of it. Two pools, a children's pool and waterslides make the family case, and three restaurants cover local, international and Mediterranean cooking, with the Istanbul Beach Cave built into the rock. The Indian Ocean here is tide-dependent, so on some afternoons the pool is the more reliable swim.

·Strong kids club

Sarova Whitesands is the big family beach resort of Mombasa's north coast, for parents who want pools and a kids' club that guests rave about. It sits on Bamburi beach about 35 minutes from Mombasa's airport, in a gated compound with round-the-clock security, and it is large: five pools, water slides, a dive centre and a nightclub. It is also the natural beach week after a safari, with the airport close enough to make the join painless.

·Quiet Galu Beach setting.

Pinewood sits on Galu Beach, the quiet stretch south of central Diani, and the quiet is deliberate. Guests are unusually consistent about three things: the service, the food and the calm, and equally consistent that there is nothing to walk to. One pool with a swim-up bar, a dive centre, tennis and a spa fill the days, and four restaurants and three bars is a generous spread for a resort this size.

·Prime Diani Beach location.

·Excellent Diani Beach setting.

Baobab Beach Resort is a large family all-inclusive on Diani Beach, for families who want Kenya's best-known sand at a fair price. It is about 49 minutes from Mombasa's airport, a four-star with 323 rooms in gardens above the beach, three pools, a swim-up bar, five dining venues and an animation team that keeps the day busy. The beach is the reason to come and the tide decides when you swim.

·Clear all-inclusive evidence

Voyager Beach Resort is a lively family all-inclusive on Nyali Beach, for families who want an animation team and a fair price. It is about 35 minutes from Mombasa's airport, with 236 cabins, three pools, three restaurants and four bars, and it runs on a nautical theme with entertainment most of the day. The evidence is stronger for the activities, the food variety and the value than for polish in the rooms.
