Great location, spacious room, amazing pool
Pros:

I truly enjoyed my stay at Studio Leliya. The room was spacious and comfortable, the pool was big and spotless, and being right next to the ocean made it extra special. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful, which made the experience even better. A great place to relax and enjoy Malindi!

Cons:

There wasn’t anything major I disliked, but maybe some small improvements could make it even better.

Short and super duper sweet. Looking forward to my next visit.
Pros:

I loved not only the room but also the complex where the studio was located. I absolutely loved the swimming pool. The hosts, Mercy and Sofie, were kind and understanding. The guards were lovely and compassionate. I had a wonderful time. I am definitely coming back here to stay even longer.

It was amazing
Pros:

We enjoyed our one week stay at Studio Leliya. The room was spacious with all the facilities as listed. The studio is in a nice location, the town centre is 5 minutes away with a tuktuk. We didnt have breakfast at the studio, but there are many affordable eateries. The beach is 2 minutes away from the studio and accessible via two gates. The swimming pool is big and clean. Mercy is always a phone call away in case of any concerns. Overall, we would recommend the studio to any future guests.

A great stay at a very reasonable price
Pros:

We were very happy with our stay at Studio Leliya. First of all, Mercy is the best host that I have ever encountered. She was so helpful and informative and accommodating, as well as feeling like an instant friend! She was truly a pleasure to work with and get to know.
Secondly, the studio was spotlessly clean and well cared for and the AC, WiFi , and appliances all were in great working order. The cleaner was also a pleasure to work with during the stay.
The complex is certainly not the Billionaires Beach Resort but it is a comfortable, homey facility. The huge saltwater pool was very clean and access to the beach is just down a short walkway from the pool area.

Cons:

Mercy set us up with a tuk-tuk driver who was fair, honest and dependable. She did warn us to be cautious with other drivers who might try to take advantage of us, so ask for her recommendation on a driver.

Fantastic place to stay!
Pros:

Mercy took amazing care of us. She brought us dinner the first night. We didn't recognize just how hungry and tired we were, but she did! She helped us find and negotiate with tuk tuk drivers and a driver to Lamu. We happily engaged her services for breakfast and were not disappointed. She responded quickly to any questions. We hated to leave!

Cons:

The wifi had issues but Mercy worked with us to fix it. She is on the same system, and is taking on line courses so she is affected more than we were. Technology is great when it works!
