Pros:

Stayed here after a work retreat and it was the break I needed. Nilijiskia nyumbani “I felt at home”. Safari, Pendo, Elvis and Lewa were great hosts, always ensuring I was well taken care of. I had the place to myself, it’s a beautiful beautiful house with proximity to casuarina road establishments, so easier to grab a lunch or dinner at an outside restaurant on the beachfront.

The mbuyu is majestic and offers great shade at the pool area - all day! The breakfast was delicious and I really appreciated that they offered bottled water throughout the day.

Cons:

Nothing really.

Unforgettable!
Pros:

Everything! The owner, Gianni, was visiting from Italy with his lovely group of friends. While only Gianni spoke English, they all made an effort to engage with us, and I even picked up a few new Italian words along the way!

The hotel feels more like a home away from home, peaceful, with a large pool and a blissful outdoor massage experience. There’s no fixed menu; instead, Chef Safari curates meals based on your preferences and shops accordingly. He executed my meals with perfect precision! James, the sole waiter, was always so attentive and kind.

As we left, the whole team came out to bid us heartfelt goodbyes, complete with Italian cheek kisses and I got compliments of “Una Bellissima!” Aww 🥰. It felt like leaving old friends 🥹.

If you’re in Malindi, I highly recommend this place!
