    The fact staff forgot to lock the back door and after I complained forgot to lock the doors to the terrace. Better to let people go get what they want at breakfast instead of wasting so much food.

    Beautifully appointed rooms, lovely pool and gazebo on the beach, friendly and helpful staff especially Matteo and the fellow at the pool. Grilled food was excellent.

    The staff were exceptionally good and helpful. Munga is a great driver, Shaban, Robert and Sebastian offered excellent service. The front desk staff were very helpful and welcoming. I am thoroughly impressed.

    Food was not as good as it could have been expected, small staff mishaps, but nothing very serious.

    Great place, big, elegant apartments, tastefully furnished. A pleasure.

    The resort is not only beautiful, comfortable and clean, with lots of nice facilities, but also can help you organize some activities for fun, for example, snorkeling, dhow barbecue, trip to Marafa Hell’s Kitchen… It’s actually the best place in Malindi.

    The owners were amazing hosts and were really responsive to our needs and super approachable and invested in our stay being as excellent as it could be. We were not entirely happy with an excursion we did and gave feedback on it. The hostess took the initiative to actually rectify it without any expectation from us so it was a lovely surprise. The food was also excellent.

    Not much to dislike but I do think that the quality of the breakfast could have been improved by adding more choice.

    Beachside and pool were stunning, the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Our rooms were kept very clean too!

    Exclusive and tranquil stay at one of Kenya's most infamous spots
    • Business trip

    • King Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    We really enjoyed our stay and the staff were extremely attentive- however more so to their Italian guests. It is a strange dynamic and despite the service being great overall, it is hard not to notice how the staff go above and beyond for their Italian guests whilst you may be left waiting to even place your order. The restaurant menu is a bit limited and a few options were hit and miss. The cocktails are also far better at the Lion in the Sun location. Lastly, double-check your bills- a few had been added to our final bill which were removed when raised with the manager.

    Our waiter Robert was extremely helpful and made some of the best cocktails that I've had in Kenya! I also loved how quiet and peaceful everything was- especially at Lion in the Sun. Everything is beautiful and I really enjoyed being able to move freely between the two locations. I also had one of the best massages in the spa, thanks to Naomi!

    Facilities are poor. Garden and landscaping poor. Housekeeping was not done until I called, and still it was halfheartedly done. Sink not fully fixed after reporting.

    Excellent attitude by frontline staff. Dinner was top quality.
