“It's a real experience and the best way to enjoy Malindi.”
Moses (I'm not sure if the name is written correctly) is the kindest person you can ever meet when travelling... thanks again to provide a natural treatment for my sunburn.

“A hotel with a beautiful name and history, but the management needs to live up to this…some socks need to be pulled!!”
The property is centrally located and is very close to major landmarks. The rooms are big and well furnished. The swimming pools and gardens are clean and well maintained with courteous staff. Lunch offerings are lovely and the Coconut Prawn Curry is something else, highly recommend. Anthony and Hellen take the crown when it comes to excellent service and customer care; the beach is a bit of a walk but when you get to it, it is very clean though it appears to be a part of the Bermuda Triangle where all vessels choose to get stranded, quite eerie. The welcome drink and check in process was great…
