I was so lucky to find this hidden gem ❤️. I was looking for a spot to relax before I began my real trip in Kenya. It was 1000 out of 10! The staff was very kind and friendly. The food 😋 makes you crave more and more. The best part of staying there was the boat transportation to and from the camp, where you can enjoy the experience of being on an island. Therefore, they smoothly arrange any tour program you would like. We chose snorkelling, and as non-swimmers, it was the best experience ever. The selection of rooms was beyond beautiful, very scenic and tranquil...the view from the restaurant is tear worthy, hearing the birds and trees moving with the air breeze was everything I needed and more.

An exceptional boutique hotel with massive air conditioned rooms, huge comfortable king bed, great showers, 2 salt water pools, good food and very few people. I loved my stay here and extended for 2 additional nights to soak it all in. Perched on a sea cliff top, there's a commanding view of the beautiful bay And a secret tunnel to directly access the tide pools and sandy beaches at low tide.

We took a suite garden view and the room was amazing, but have seen the economic ones and it is simpler, small bed, but also confortable. In general the property is large, right on the beach, beautiful walks in the morning along the beach. The restaurant makes amazing food, every day a different menu, and great cocktails as well. In general, highly recommended!

I travelled alone, I was on a fast but enjoyed my evening meals ..especially the grilled fish and variety of sauces. Evening entertainment...but did not join the disco, etc. As it was couple or family centre Ted a single people soon stands out. I loved my room the breeze in the night, being abel to connect with nature day and night was amazing time out for me. I had amazing guide- mbaraza..very helpful. Short stay but will return one day

It is not a place for a holiday, I was there to check on some of my Property but I was frustrated because I ended up staying for more Days than I had wanted. It is loud and congested.but if one has his own home is Ok but there are other nice places to enjoy and have fun It easy to get round Mtwapa, by Tax Tuk tuk and motor Bikes and public means of transport called Matatus.

The hotel staff was amazing — super kind, always smiling, and able to combine great professionalism with a warm, welcoming attitude. The structure itself is beautifully designed and impeccably maintained, making every moment of the stay truly comfortable. The entertainment is soft but very pleasant, never intrusive, and perfectly balanced for a relaxing atmosphere. A special shoutout to Florence, a fantastic entertainer who brings joy with her energy and kindness. But our deepest appreciation goes to Anthony — an elegant, highly professional guide who speaks many languages and is always ready to help with calm, patience, and genuine care. He is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and present without ever being overwhelming. Above all, he is simply a wonderful person: easy to talk to, thoughtful, and capable of making you feel immediately at ease. People like him transform a vacation into an unforgettable experience. We feel truly grateful for his support, his availability, and the humanity he brings to his work. An outstanding team overall — thank you for making our stay so special.

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.

The apartment is very pretty and the terrace on the creek offers beautiful vieux. In the morning many monkeys come to say "hi" : it's very funny indeed. If you like to walk...it needs only 10 minutes to go in town. Close to the apartment there are 2 very nice restaurants on the sea, where it's possible to eat very good food.

Some really good beaches... very full day trips on boats... lots of stalls to purchase things... good supermarkets on the main road if you are staying in a villa... due to the heavy Italian tourist presence, there are plenty of great eateries and restaurants... easy to get around on motorbike or tuk tuk... generally very safe compared to Nairobi.
