The Kasa Malindi - 'Formerly Leopard Point Beach Resort'

I was so excited to spend my Friday to Monday in Malindi for my friends wedding. I was also excited for Kasa thinking after all the travel it took for us to get there that we would have a wonderful time. Unfortunately, this was not even remotely the case. If there is one thing I cannot get behind, it is a poorly operated hotel that relies heavily on aesthetics to appear to be 5 star and mask all the inefficiencies and pitfalls: I would rather take hot water or running water at ALL than a coconut on arrival. I would rather be able to lock all my external facing doors as a single woman, than have a floating tray and flower petals placed delicately in the pool. I would rather an establishment that cares about being solution-oriented, rather than give us excuse after excuse. Unfortunately, these were all real issues we faced- no water, unresponsive staffing, and unsafe conditions.And it wasn’t just us- the main topic of conversation at the included breakfast was each guests unresolved issues of the day. Further more, the upcharge on the airport transfer and any taxi taken from the hotel was ridiculous. They charged us what a regular taxi would charge. Also in most hotels, especially ones considered five star, the airport transfer should be included. I would not recommend this place at all.

The only regret was that I was there for only one night. Beautiful hotel, great beach views, great staff.

It was a beautiful resort but... definitely not as luxurious as it claims to be. We had an excellent server who was kind and made us feel welcome. Unfortunately, my friends and I got scammed by the driver who the hotel recommended (seems like they were in cahoots ) and every place we went we were pressured to tip and participate. Also, an air that everyone is trying to get you to tip them not actually just doing nice things. Just be careful.

My wife and I stayed at Kasa Hotel in Malindi on December 2nd and 3rd, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everything about this place is stunning, from the beautiful design to the relaxing atmosphere—it felt like a little slice of paradise. The standout for us was the amazing staff. Mildred at the restaurant was simply outstanding. She made sure every detail was just right and brought such warmth and care to every interaction. The gentleman at the cash register in the restaurant was also incredibly friendly and welcoming—it felt like chatting with an old friend. At the front desk, the gentleman who assisted us was professional, kind, and made us feel right at home. The hotel itself is gorgeous. The lush gardens and serene pool area created the perfect backdrop for unwinding, and the rooms were not just comfortable but thoughtfully decorated to match the coastal vibe. The food was another highlight. Every dish was fresh, delicious, and packed with flavor. We especially loved dining by the ocean in the evening—it was the perfect way to end each day. The location struck the perfect balance. It’s close enough to explore the town of Malindi but tucked away enough to feel like a private retreat. On a scale of 1 to 5, I’d give a solid 5. That said, there’s always room for improvement in any experience, and I’m confident the hotel will continue to elevate its offerings. If you’re visiting Malindi, Kasa Hotel is an excellent choice, and we’d happily return in the future.

10/10 experience in every way. The place is absolutely beautiful and has everything you could need. The staff are so friendly and helpful, the food is amazing. It is located on its own private beach with caves and turtles! I cannot recommend this place enough and will definitely be back! Thank you Kasa Team you are the best!
