At Oiste:
There is a good gym in the Posta, behind the Kendas Hotel. (From Kendas half way to the Country club then on the right side).

In Cobacapana, be ready to wait for your food two hours minimum. I don't understand why it takes there always so long. Also, that beach works with mpesa, there is no change. Your bill is 950 but bar don't have that 50 shilling to pay back from 1000, that has happened couple of times. If you pay by cash they go somewhere to look for change, forr a long time.
I think Casourina is back for normal prizes, Christmas season s finished.

And very fresh grilled fish in different places on the Cobacobana Beach (but not at the original Cobacobana restaurant).
If you want to economize on the cost of beer (which has reached 400 ksh now at Casuarina) try the dark Senator beer from the handpump operated kegs. Available on different places starting from around 50 ksh per glass.

Posts: 478Bamburi
That newspaper article about Bamburi. I don't know what are they talking about? Asian girls in Naivas places? What is that massage in beach, there is no beach in Bamburi commity. And not so much massage in Bamburi beach that it would be worth of mentioning. (notice that Bamburi beach is not in Bamburi community, confusing).
Some years ago I knew all the bars in Bamburi really well because I went there to see couple of waitresses, I was drinking with them (separately) in Bamburi bars. No success ever with them but it did not matter since I went to Casourina always after that.
I visited Bamburi bars again not so long time ago, seems to be same. There are no musungus there ever, there are local people in groups. I have heard also that that there are lot of Nairobi people now, locating to Bamburi on vacation.
In Bamburi there are no white people living, you don't see any walking in the street or in the bars, they are in Nyali and Mwtapa and Sanzu seaside. I would not want to live there either.
My personal opinion of the Bamburi bar scene is that it is boring and not worth of visiting. Those girls who looked pretty for me I knew already from somewhere else. If you want to see slim pretty Bamburi girls that are interested of musungu company go to Big Tree and Cheers, you find them there. Or casourina. Beach in front of Big Tree is good place to find Nairobi tourist girls or not so professional girls. Also by swimming there, in the sea, go to talk to girls.
In Bamburi public beach near by, Pirate beach, I have never managed to find anything although it is so crowded.
Very high prizes in Naivas bars. I know one girl that goes there and she has told me that some tourist guys or Diani guys are really paying her big money, suprisingly high, don't remember exact amounts. However with me she still goes for 2000 thousand shillings per night, in idle days.

On the contrary, there could be more fun on holiday season.

(And yes / no-- isn't Nyali always expensive, but the quality is also more upscale?
I know this is frustrating to the short-term tourist, trying to get your dream-mongering-experience locked-in a short amount of time. But Economics doesn't care about our feelings, it still exists and rules; especially in places that offer nothing else but tourism.

Posts: 107Interesting articles on Bambura being a 'Sin City'. They are saying hookers cost an 'arm and a leg' at high end places like Nyali (upwards of 10000 shillings). That does start to defeat the purpose of visiting places like Kenya.

According to the Nairobian newspaper Bamburi has taken over the title of "Sin City" from Mtwapa.

Posts: 478I wrote once report of hotels near Big Tree, because Big Tree was full, I walked through all of them.
I chose Sheratton finally.

If you are coming now, it is Christhmas season, room prizes are double at least, until 5th of January.
Big Tree is cheapest of beach hotels in that area and best for mongering purposes. But rooms are simple.
Mwtapa is cheaper but that is totally different world. Not for anybody who comes to Africa or developing country first time. It is better go to these beach hotels.
