We love the Ilomba--right next to a gorgeous beach, good restaurant, and very nice rooms. The standard rooms are quite reasonable, but a bit small, particularly for families. You have to rent two rooms for four people but neither has much space to stretch out (although they are VERY clean and nice). Since our kids were visiting us over the... More

Haivng seen what else was on offer in Kribi it is the nicest place... More

If you are going to Kribi for some hard-core relaxation you definitely want to stay at Hotel Ilomba. This is definitely the nicest place to stay in Kribi. The beach is great and you will not get hassled by locals trying to sell you things. There is an okay restaurant on the premises, as the hotel is far from town... More

grandparents, parents, 2 1/2 year old child stayed here. It was a wonderful, relaxing break away from the normal routine of Yaounde. We ate the salads, and had no ill effects. Food was good. Beach is right there, but it is a little dangerous and you couldn't have children playing alone. The Swiss woman who runs it makes sure everything... More

Cool Hotel. Nice beach and close to the waterfalls of Lobe. Service is also good as well as the kitchen. A little bit out of town. For Cameroon quite expensive. More

Whenever you travel to Kribi to enjoy the great beaches and waterfalls, go to Hotel Ilomba.

I participated in a Habitat for Humanity trip to the Majeng/Mbingo area of Cameroon in the Northwest region of the country. At the end of the trip, the team stayed two nights at Hotel Ilomba. The drive was scary - crossing little wooden bridges on a crazy dirt road, in a van with 14 people and luggage strapped on top... More
