Steve, you are right.
Yes I remember the clean streets, palmtrees everywhere, friendly people sitting on there chairs beside the streets in front of the small collerful huts, children playing with the cats and dogs and the bamburi cement is bussy like hell. See you soon guys.

Is it the usual practice to charge a joiner fee in Kenyan hotels? Are most hotels GF?
Looking for decent, safe, reasonably priced digs (about $50-80) in Mombassa, Bamburi/Mtwapa, Malindi and Nairobi. Is this doable and does anyone have any recommendations?
Thank you.

That's indeed the usual practice if you have booked a single room. If you pay for a double room then your visitor can normally stay for free, but she has to register at the reception. That's for your own security!
BTW, I have not seen any hotel in Kenya that was not GF, but I am sure that Willyboy knows here some exceptions!
Cheers!

Mtwapa Essentials
Geography:
Mtwapa is a village is located 25km north of mombasa town. The tourist beach is called bamburi or kenyata beach and is located about 15km north of mombasa town. The entire area called mombasa and mombasa city called "town". Administratively mtwapa belong to kilifi district but is practically part of mombasa.
Seasons:
From August to December all mombasa area are folded by ladies that comes from all over kenya and uganda as well. This I'd the high season and the best time to meed ladies in large quantities.
Tourism:
Most of the tourist stays on bamburi beach hotels. This area is the heart of the sex industry. This hotels offers sun, sand, girls (which comes to the reception or the beach). This hotel however charge international prices for food and accommodation. Distance for the discos is about 5 minutes by car.
For a detailed about hotels policy just PM to WILLYBOY is the number one expert and visit more then 46 times in mombasa area.
Mtwapa General:
The supporting local community for tourism stays at town, Bamburi village or Mtwapa. Mtwapa grows rapidly and becomes a relatively huge place. Mtwapa has cheap hotels, bars, nightclubs, girls and cheap restaurant.
Mtwapa hotels:
Mtwapa hotels serves local kenyan while in vacation and a few expert mongers. Thus mongers knows the kenyan culture, ladies behaver and there psychology inside-out. They know every damm thing and often they think as a black man.
Hotels prices are from 1000 to 2000 kes witout aircon. One or two hotels has aircon but they are located in the north part of the village.
Most of the ladies in mtwapa are a sort of semi-pro to pro by western standard. From August there is huge amount of them hanging around the post office area at anytime. They hunt as Arnold Schwarzenegger in "predator" (1987). No need to go to a nightclub to get a lady.
Mtwapa apartments
The more experience mongers including myself stays in apartments. Did you see my kitchen?. I can't give details. We like to keep it.
Nightlife:
Casaurina [url]http://www.Casaurina.com/[/url] is the main place full of pro. Opposite there is another big bar. Kendas hotel has big bar with erotic dancers. Many other small bars less commercial are available.
I rarely go to out at night this is because I get as many ladies as I want during daytime. This allows me to get the lady better and its not on a commercial basis. I rarly take a lady from Mtwapa they are to pros for me but sometimes some of them comes to me for a fun. They all know me and they know my policy. Some ladies has a car, house and husband that lives in Europe. Thus ladies need sex and they are not after small money.
Gym
Mtwapa has one gym now. I am working out there on a daily basis. Its 1000 kes per month.
Restaurants:
For one dollar you can eat well. Meat and rise combination called pillau. Its the same food as the 12 dollar on the beach but serve differently. Since I have my kitchen as you all know, I cook or take-away.
Summary:
What ever if you are first comer or a world class monger, Mtwapa offers an alternative to the beach vacation. Perfectly fit for budget tourists that wants to experience a true tourist oriented African village. Ladies are the last thing you need to worry about.

JP[/QUOTE]
Thanks, useful info for noobs, such as me.
Few things:
1. Do apartments rent by the night? What would be daily rent for a short term stays - say 4-5 days? Any recommendations?
2. If not, what might be the best hotel choice? I've read that the Sweet Heart Lodge is the best B & L.
3. Are there plenty of taxis around or would I be reliant on Matatu? What would be a reasonable taxi fare from the airport to Mtwapa and from Mtwapa to Bamburi?
Sorry, too many questions!

Mtwapa In depth
1. Do apartments rent by the night?
Some of them. Yes
What would be daily rent for a short term stays. Say 4-5 days?
Apartments are from 1000 kes and above. For 5 days its better to take a guest-house, most of them are around 1000 kes. 12US$
No single double room concept.
Any recommendations?
They all looks the same without aircon, but comfortable. Mtwapa serves local kenyans so you can't find "hilton" class. At the north part of the village there is one good hotel complex, not very expensive. All others hotels are more like a charming guest-house.
2. If not, what might be the best hotel choice? I've read that the Sweet Heart Lodge is the best B & L.
Go to kendas orcade hotel. Remeber the real-estate number one rule.
Location, Location, Location.
This hotel is the core of the business here. Its has the perfect GPS coordinates that you will be surrounded by huge amount of ladies in any part of the day/night.
3. Are there plenty of taxis around or would I be reliant on Matatu?
Matatu for me, I am on budget. Taxies will charge you like hell.
What would be a reasonable taxi fare from the airport to Mtwapa and from Mtwapa to Bamburi?
Reasonable is a logical process inside the taxies driver head. The pricing scheme is based on the driver assessment on how much he think you may pay. In mombasa as a rule if you ask any question it will put you in a position as a one that do not know, otherwise you would not ask from the first place.
Pricing is all about knowing the price and insist that you know it, not bargaining.
I never take a taxi only from Mtwapa to the airport. Not from the airport to Mtwapa. The real price is 1000kes but unless you convinced that this is the real price they you will never get it less then 2000kes.
So you ask yourself what is the difference for a lifetime trip between 12 dollar to 20? Not much!
But for us the expats is a matter of principle nobody will charge us more then a damm cent then the real price. But I lived here so others don't have this head scratch that I have.
Summary:
Mtpawa has milions of ladies, a little "Thai Pattaya". On the downside:
The village is not paved so you will walk in the sand. Also flyes are more common then the beach. Power cut are common so remember! You will face much less class then staying on the beach.
