Diamonds Malindi ★★★★

"Comfortable, with good service and decent food."

Ocean Beach Resort & Spa ★★★★★

"It feels like a blend of the beach and the desert, with stunning dunes creating a serene vibe. This was a family leisure trip, and I have to say, the rooms were impressive—spacious, spotless, and with bathrooms that passed my ever-picky standards. There was more than enough space to stash away suitcases, leaving the room comfortable to navigate. The gardens? Immaculate and beautifully maintained. Holiday organization was top-notch. They nailed it with themed dinners—absolutely loved that touch! Now, about the food: fresh, fresh, fresh! It’s as if it came straight from the kitchen to the table. A+ for that. Xmas breakfast was a little slow, probably because the staff was stretched thin, but they quickly redeemed themselves with a delicious brunch spread. The staff? Amazing. At first, I thought their warmth and professionalism might be scripted, like they’d just come from a training session. But no, this was genuine. Every staff member we encountered was courteous, attentive, and quick to respond. Whoever is behind their training deserves a medal. Special mention to Rosemary, the reservation manager—she was incredibly patient with my endless questions and made sure everything went smoothly. Oh, and you must visit their spa! It’s an experience on its own—relaxing, rejuvenating, and worth every minute. For golf lovers, don’t forget to pack your clubs! Malindi Golf Club is conveniently adjacent to the hotel. Even if you don’t have your own, they’ve got you covered with clubs available for hire. When we left, we didn’t leave empty-handed but with a bag full of thoughtful gifts—a perfect send-off! It’s been five years since our last family trip, and I’m so glad Ocean Beach did not let us down. What a memorable experience! ✨"

Kaleb's Beachfront Holiday Home ★★★★

Lion in the Sun Boutique Hotel & Spa ★★★★★

The Lawford Kenya ★★★

"Priceless location just a step away from the ocean where it is wonderful to walk, letting your gaze run to the horizon… Very well-kept and welcoming location. Spacious rooms, tastefully furnished and with an excellent view of a well-kept garden. Kind and helpful staff. Delicious breakfast (the passion fruit jam is unmissable). For lunch we enjoyed a truly tasty lobster! A peaceful corner to relax on one of the two pools…"

Exploreans Beach Club & Villas Watamu ★★★

"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."

Lions Eco Resort & Spa Eco Resort ★★★★

Billionaire Resort & Retreat ★★★★★

"One word- paradise! Our visit to billionaire was one of the most relaxing experiences we have ever had visiting the coast. From a warm welcome from Joyce at the front desk to the first look into the apartment, we were blown away. We stayed in the 4 bedroom apartment that was tastefully decorated, had a huge balcony and had all the amenities that we required. The close proximity to the beach made it the best part as you can take a swim in the large infinity pool and dry off on the sun beds on the beach. Everyone at billionaires was absolutely friendly and we are so thankful to Dixon who kept our rooms sparkling with extra care. The only thing we found as a downfall of billionaire was the food. Breakfast was basic and their regular menu didn’t have much to offer. Being a hotel in the coast, we were hoping for more Swahili dishes or even snacks on the menu. This slight adjustment would make this place perfect! Nevertheless there’s a lot of restaurants and street food locations in Malindi that are not too far making the hotel ideally located."
