We really enjoyed the tranquility of the place. As soon as you enter the gates of Saffron, you feel like you are entering a portal of peace and calmness. It is a very family-friendly place. The rooms were clean and spacious. Staff friendly and attentive. There was a nice cultural program with live music and a fashion show during our stay.

All the staff were very nice and discret. And arranged with whatever I needed during my stay. The property is basic but has everything you need to sleep and wash. The roof top is really comfortable with WiFi. The restaurant is there if you don’t want to go out and has a nice sunset. I tried the omelet and sausage in the morning it was very yummy. Depends on the price but if you get a good price, it will be a good deal.

It was like stepping into a whole new dimension, This property has a lovely extensive garden which was so beautiful to wake up to every morning. The property was peaceful and calm which is surprising because its very near the town centre. I felt very safe as the security wasn't playing around. The staff were also very kind and helpful. They have a cute little restaurant which serves amazing meals and the breakfast was too generous. I have to go back here ❤

I loved the fact that the people were friendly, the climate is surprisingly cool for a coastal region . The beaches are wonderful, there are clean and not clouded at all. You get an authentic coastal experience

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.

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.

When I go to Malindi, I won't just be going to Malindi.....I will be going to Grey Pearl 🙃. This place was exceptional, a whole unit to myself with my wife. Good WiFi, adequate water, Climate control (you choose either AC or Ceiling Fan). Friendly staff. It's not far from the road and the beach 😎. I love the Eateries nearby, one just below you! Good food, very delicious and affordable. I can recommend this place to you definitely! 💯

Fantastic location near town and in a compound that is right on the beach (though the villa itself is the furthest one from the beach and doesn't have a beach view), and two amazing pools. We loved the outdoor seating area. Decor is lovely.
