Superb setting with stunning communal areas adorned with beautiful scented white flower trees. The rooms were super clean and the staff were truly exceptional and a huge asset to the property. They were most attentive and remained at our disposal throughout the days and nights of our stay. Shiela, Happy,Rosemary and Gakena will live long in our memories of our stay at this oasis. The warmest of smiles and happy to help demeanour will take some beating wherever you stay in the wold. Malindi is a hidden gem and in my opinion this hotel is by far the best in the area. Be sure to try the Hob restaurant which is close by.

It was like stepping into a whole new dimension, This property has a lovely extensive garden which was so beautiful to wake up to every morning. The property was peaceful and calm which is surprising because its very near the town centre. I felt very safe as the security wasn't playing around. The staff were also very kind and helpful. They have a cute little restaurant which serves amazing meals and the breakfast was too generous. I have to go back here ❤

Malindi is currently regarded as the "dead town" but in my opinion, it's the perfect escape from all sorts of pollution- Instantly replaced by the facinating historical landmarks like hell's kitchen & Mambrui in totality, peace & serene, are just some of the healing that Malindi has to offer.

If you can cook in Malindi, please cook.

If you can cook in Malindi, please cook. Chefs are also too expensive but if you are up for it, great. The customer service in Malindi is questionable, some restaurants even packing sub food as your take away. Also, the locals especially tour guides try to rip you off compared to other coastal towns, its quite annoying. Make sure you have someone who knows their way around Malindi so that you can be linked up.

Malindi town is typical of Kenya with a market, supermarket, lots of traders and as a tourist you are well served. It is a quiet safe area but restaurants tend to be quiet at night with few customers.If you want nightlife there are clubs and beach parties til 3am or later .

Cool laid back town. Action is on the beach.

Cool laid back town. Action is on the beach. Local foods like fish, calamari, prawns easily gotten-mostly in the evening. Its a 'crime' not to use a motor bike(boda boda) to tour the town on foot! Annoying whistles and hoots from the riders- just avoid eye contact! Malindi town is easy to walk around. Coffee lovers have a huge choice- kahawa tungu( peppered with cinnamon&ginger powder)- on the bench at every turn of road -or- in Italian themed coffee joints by the beach and main streets. Lo Sfizio restaurant- along Lamu road is a great one.- Malaika Restaurant- Buntwani Beach is another.

Easy town to move around. Not that many pedestrian walkways.

Easy town to move around. Not that many pedestrian walkways. From my last visit(2023) there is an upgrade though. Need for more coffee places. The beach areas could be more cleaner. For coffee and lovely delicious snacks,go to Malaika restaurant opposite the Buntwani Beach Front. Walking is the healthiest way to move around Malindi,just don't give a visual contact with the boda boda taxis( you will ride unwillingly!) Avoid the Tikka chicken with coloured(yellow) spicing.

We enjoyed our one week stay at Studio Leliya. The room was spacious with all the facilities as listed. The studio is in a nice location, the town centre is 5 minutes away with a tuktuk. We didnt have breakfast at the studio, but there are many affordable eateries. The beach is 2 minutes away from the studio and accessible via two gates. The swimming pool is big and clean. Mercy is always a phone call away in case of any concerns. Overall, we would recommend the studio to any future guests.

I would highly recommend Marine holiday home!! Asante sana

Everything. The hotel is in a great location, in a peaceful area near to the beach. The buildings and the gardens are beautiful, and the service is fabulous. This is how hotels used to be in days gone by - absolutely everything has been thought about to ensure the comfort and well-being of customers, and Alex and his team are doing an exemplary job. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough, and shall be returning.
