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.

An amazing place – intimate, full of charm and character. Perfect if you’re looking for something authentic rather than a big resort for mass tourism. The staff is very welcoming, warm and always ready to help you. We highly recommend.

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. 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.

The information on Booking.com about Malindi is an accurate representation of what I found on site. I visited the following places: Galana Shopping Centre Vasco da Gama Pillar Portuguese Chapel Malindi Marine National Park. I occasionally ate out from a wide range of restaurants in the city centre. It was quite easy to move around Malindi and I currently have no experience of places to avoid while in Malindi.

Truly a little gem of a place tucked away in a little private spot about a 15 or 20 minute walk from the beach. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating and really I cannot recommend Lions enough. It is a fantastic place to spend a few days in Malindi. Has a nice pool and the food is incredible - especially the red snapper and meat dishes. The owners Andrea and Imelda and staff Corazon and Clarice are to be congratulated on a job very well done.

Beautiful beachside hotel, only 10 minutes from the airport, with a great view of the ocean and great beachside amenities. Enough day beds and security. The hotel and restaurants are aesthetically pleasing with a great view at night. They have enough pools as well to accommodate a lot of people. The food was great, diverse and the staff are amiable. There are motorbikes and tuktuks that are easily accessible just outside the gate as well. 10/10 experience.

I loved the serenity, cleanliness and the host was amazing. We arrived earlier than expected and we were welcomed accordingly. Close proximities to some beaches, the town centre. Centrally located so distance to Watamu was 1hr away. Breakfast was up to par, Said the chef makes amazing seafood on request(pay for it) and Salama was an excellent housekeeper. Clean pool. Definitely picture worthy mini resort❤️❤️💯.

Peaceful, beautiful and comfortable little resort. Safe place and no outsiders at the site. Good beach to swim when the water is high. Short distance to the services of the town and a tuktuk always available for a reasonable price.
