    I can’t think of anything I didn’t like

    It was very comfortable with a lovely pool and shady gardens. Very necessary in the African sun. Our host Alex was very helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble and the staff were all great.

    Villa Malindi was an exceptional experience for myself, my wife and my 13 year old son. Alexander is an incredible host with an extensive knowledge of all of the best places to go and activities to do in Malindi and surrounding area. He is also extremely well connected with local business owners and activity providers, and he made sure our outings were well planned, memorable and personalised to our individual interests. I cannot recommend Villa Malindi enough, and cannot wait to visit again.

    We should have stayed longer ;-)

    The food is exceptional, especially the 4 course Diner. The Hotel has no access to the ocean and therefore is quiet and secure and has lavish swimming-pools. In easy 5 minutes walking distance there`s the "White elephant" which for a small fee offers everything you could wish for a day at the beachfront, with an added value of a very interesting art and culture space. A lot of other beaches are just a short drive away.

    I would have loved to have Farmers Choice brand of sausages for breakfast.

    Without a doubt, the General manager Alex is the greatest asset at Hotel Villa Malindi. His professional but friendly staff confirmed this when they said they do their job well because the GM is a great motivation to them. Right from the moment Alex received our booking, he contacted me via WhatsApp. He picked my family and I from Malindi Airport and took us back there upon our departure. He arranged activities but also allied us room to make our own plans. He was friendly and helpful to every guest. The bathrooms were beautiful with right water temperature for me. Water was not salty. Internet access was reasonably good . The food was superb.

    The only suggestion: Set up a book shelve in the main area close to the TV where people can take and leave books.

    Alex, George (Josh) and James are the best. They are friendly and super attentive. The is now my favourite hotel and I stayed in quite a few. Great food on top of it.

    The property is well maintained , private , clean and strategically located with close proximity to the beach as well as major tourists attractions like the Marine park, Malindi Museum, Vasco Da Gama Pillar within walking distance. The host Alex is proactive, super helpful and friendly. The staff at the property are warm and friendly as well . A personal touch I loved was free replenishment of bottled drinking water and airport transfers They serve delicious meals and we enjoyed a variety of cuisine from swahili to Italian. The rooms are clean and spacious . Excellent amenities for entertainment and wifi … I would recommend for both small groups and large groups
