LOCATION:
Whitesands
is a dedicated supporter of the Bombolulu Workshop Project.
This is a project founded in 1969 by the Association of the
Physically Disabled of Kenya (APDK) which train and employs
physically challenged persons in handicraft production and related
business skills.
Within the Whitesands, there is a cultural village representing
four tribal communities drawn from different parts of Kenya
namely, the Maasai from the Southwestern part of Kenya, the
Giriama from the Coastal region, the Bukusu from the Western
Region and the Orma from the North Eastern side of Kenya.
In the cultural village, one will find life size traditional
houses built using the materials the particular communities
represented used. These were built by members of the Bombolulu
Workshop Project and make a good learning area for the tourists
to know more about Kenya's traditional heritage.
During
the high season, there is a blind guide who sits at the Village
and gives a talk about culture to the guests as they have their
afternoon tea. This is a good way of promoting our rich Kenyan
culture and heritage. |

HOTEL FACILITIES & SERVICES:
Makutano
Conference Centre (MCC), the latest addition to the Whitesands
conferencing outfit, was officially opened on November 22nd
2002 to a cross-section of Sarova Hotels business and conference
partners and flown in to Mombasa by British Airways. The move
has boosted our conferencing facility from the current best
in the coast to the unreachable! The refurbishment project
is in line with Sarova's commitment to Product Development
aimed at upgrading its facilities to give the client a superior
product.
The General Manager-Deneys Swart, in his address said that
with the latest addition to Whitesands conferencing, we can
now host international conventions of up to 900 delegates.
The attendees were taken through the features of MCC in an
interesting presentation done by the Group Marketing Manager-David
Maina and Whitesands Human Resources Manager-Christina Were.
Amongst the speakers was Sarova Group Sales Manager Thomas
Bisonga who introduced the Sarova Head Office delegation and
stressed on the importance of laying clever strategies to
keep ahead of the competition within the hospitality industry,
one such strategy is by improving our offer through product
development. He likened this to the race for survival where
the slowest antelope needs to outrun the fastest lion in order
to survive.
The nights have come alive in Whitesands with the newCocos
Beach Bar, popular for its open-air disco, lively party music,
live music from the famous Mombasa Roots Band, exciting shows
and cocktails complete the experience.
Cocos Beach Bar is has undergone a landscaping project whereby
an embankment has been created to surround the outlet making
it an oasis within the hotel. Palm trees and flowers have
been planted on the embankment to seal off the view into the
beach bar, creating a sense of privacy.
Further to greatly enhancing the aesthetics of Cocos Beach
Bar, the beautification exercise has brought out an exotic,
exciting, beach-party-under-the-stars concept making Cocos
an unforgettable beach party experience.
