Villa Ameera Malindi
7.6 (136 reviews)

Villa Ameera Malindi ★★★★

📍 Frangipani Road, Malindi

"The hotel offered no food or drinks, the air conditioning was incredibly noisy (like a tractor), and it was a ten-minute walk to buy a bottle of water in a very remote location. Plus, it didn't support Glovo."

Diamonds Malindi ★★★★

📍 Casuarina Rd, Malindi

"The restaurant team. Bravo bravo bravo. I couldn't wait for meal times just for the warm greetings and the warm interactions. My bad for not getting names but I'd definitely be back because of the restaurant service team. The guy who does gymnastics in the pool my mum is greatful as well(he was off on Monday we couldn't say goodbye. The security guard who received us when we came and most time guarded us when we were at the beach( brilliant young light man). Shaban thank you for the suprise cocktails. Just a little improvement at check in. Give all necessary details especially for first time guests."

Ocean Beach Resort & Spa ★★★★★

📍 Golf Beach Rd, Malindi

"The food is excellent and exceptional. The bed and pillows are also excellent and always clean. The access to the beach gives it a natural and exciting experience. The minibar is well packed but at your own expense. Generally it is an interesting experience."

The Lawford Kenya ★★★

📍 lamu road, Malindi

"Large and nicely decorated rooms. The garden is beautiful with direct access to the long beach. The staff in the restaurant was very friendly and the food excellent. We had grilled lobster and finished our meal with mango ice cream. I will surely come back!"

Exploreans Beach Club & Villas Watamu
9.7 (2 reviews)

Exploreans Beach Club & Villas Watamu ★★★

📍 Mayungu Road, Malindi

"The hotel is fantastic!!! We absolutely loved it! We initially booked for one day, but then decided to extend it for another day. It's best to buy an all-inclusive package, as the hotel is located far from amenities. But if you're traveling with a group or on your honeymoon, this is perfect. The staff is polite and friendly, the food is delicious, the amenities are excellent, and of course, the price is great. The only thing I might not like is the hot water. It's warm, perfect for showering during the day, but cool in the evening."

Diamonds Malindi ★★★★
"The room had old-fashioned wooden furniture, no TV, a small refrigerator, and no slippers provided. You had to ask the staff at the front desk for toothbrushes. There were quite a few small insects, especially flies; they would even eat while you were eating. The hotel wasn't large, but the environment was quite comfortable."

The Lawford Kenya ★★★
"Arriving at Lawford is a unique experience in itself. The typical local roof, which overlooks the reception area and leads to the lush garden, is a work of art. The villas and rooms are spread out amidst the greenery, so you never feel like you're in a crowded hotel. The restaurant's cuisine, with its Italian flair, is truly worth it. The two large pools surrounded by greenery are very pleasant (and always clean). I stayed in a villa: a private pool and elegant Kenyan-style furnishings made for a super vacation!"
