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.

The apartment was extremely nice and comfortable. Also very clean and tidy. The surrounding is breathtakingly beautiful: a wonderful pool directly in front of the balcony surrounded by nice Mediterranean style buildings and many beautiful trees. Everything is very well shaped and kept properly tidy and made our stay there an unforgettable experience. Like in paradise. The ocean just around the corner, 2 walking minutes away. We both were very happy there and had a wonderful time. The host Lady was always very nice and helpful. A very good address to recommend strongly.
