“My go to accommodation in Malindi”
The place is absolutely amazing, very clean. Stephen, Ngala and Joseph are the best. They made us feel like we were home away from home despite it being a business trip. The seafood meal chef Ngala prepared was better than any 5star restaurant we've dined at. The breakfast by the pool was great as well.
