Villa Ameera Malindi
7.6 (137 reviews)

Villa Ameera Malindi ★★★★

📍 Frangipani Road, Malindi

"The hotel offered no food or drinks, the air conditioning was incredibly noisy (like a tractor), and it was a ten-minute walk to buy a bottle of water in a very remote location. Plus, it didn't support Glovo."

I’m already looking forward to visiting again in the future. And the foood was the best I've ever had!! Thank you for making my stay so special!"

Ocean Beach Resort & Spa
8.7 (35 reviews)

Ocean Beach Resort & Spa ★★★★★

📍 Golf Beach Rd, Malindi

"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! ✨"

The Lawford Kenya ★★★

📍 lamu road, Malindi

"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
9.7 (2 reviews)

Exploreans Beach Club & Villas Watamu ★★★

📍 Mayungu Road, Malindi

"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."

Diamonds Malindi ★★★★
"We had a wonderful 10-day family holiday at Diamonds Malindi, including a three-day safari in Tsavo East. The hotel was excellent, but what really made our stay special was the amazing staff. A special thanks to Pina, Danson, Pauline and Ndundi for their energy, friendliness and enthusiasm! We really enjoyed the evening shows with karaoke and dancing, and had great fun playing volleyball with them. They truly made our holiday memorable. Highly recommended, and we would love to come back! See you in 2030!"

"The food is excellent and exceptional. The bed and pillows are also excellent and always clean. The access to the beach gives it a natural and exciting experience. The minibar is well packed but at your own expense. Generally it is an interesting experience."

"A beautiful hotel and grounds but just lacked life. There was no bar or restaurant for service around the pool and for the evening you had to preorder. The beach club attached to the  property was a great addition."

"We loved this hotel, huge (and I mean huge) rooms, lovely staff, great location and the best sea water swimming pool I have ever been in!
