Hoteles con Wifi en Condado de Kilifi, Kenia

Overall, the hotel is good seeing that not many options in Malindi don’t have beachfronts. But maybe rates should be half the current one. We paid 200 USD per night per standard room for bed and breakfast, and we thought for what it is, it’s not worth it. We didn’t see the kind of services and amenities you’d expect from this price in Malindi. Also, breakfast was subpar for this kind of hotel and price. The breakfast wasn’t great and didn’t have many options. On my first breakfast I asked for Americano and they gave me cheap instant coffee. They replaced it with actual coffee when I told them this is bad instant coffee, but not sure why offer it in the first place. We had lunch there once and was good though. Also, for some reason they didn’t explain, we were not allowed to eat anything, even snacks, while sitting on the sun beds, only drinks allowed and if you want to eat you have to go to the restaurant or the beach bar. We thought that was unreasonably and unnecessarily restrictive. Like I wanted to chill on the sun beds while eating the desert I ordered from there, but they didn’t allow and were very insisting. They didn’t offer any explanation but “sorry, it’s not allowed.” Other beach bars and restaurants on the beach where we went to hang out allowed food while sitting on table/sun beds by the beach. Also, most hotels offer complimentary shuttle pick up from the airport (which is 12 minutes only away from the hotel). They don’t offer it for free and actually offer it at 6+ times more the market price (Uber and taxis charge 350 KES and, the hotel charges 2,000 KES.) On our first day, we seemed to be the only people at the hotel that are not there for the conference, upon arrival we went to the pool by the beach bar. We found it dirty, and full of dead flies and leaves. The staff were nice and responsive and cleaned it immediately, but why have this the pool like this until someone asks to clean it? They also say they have 5 pools (because there are pools in front of every set of four rooms) but the one in front of us was actually filthy. The water was dark and looked visibly not clean. If we asked, they would have probably cleaned it, but I’m not there to supervise and give instructions. I would’ve liked to just find things the way they’re supposed to be. These small things can be annoying though I wouldn’t say it ruined the experience, just made it a bit annoying. Like I’m coming to chill and relax without harming people, there’s no reason to “prevent” me from enjoying an ice cream while sitting watching the beach, have dirty pools, offer bad coffee…etc. we had a good experience overall and I still enjoyed my time, but I might consider other options for my next trip to Malindi seeing that it didn’t provide value for money, especially that most hotels’ rates were around one third of this one (but didn’t have beach fronts, which is probably the reason why).

Recientemente me quedé en el Diamonds Malindi en Kenia, y ofreció una escape costera relajada y escenic con un fuerte énfasis en el confort y el lujo de retorno. El hotel está situado en la costa de Malindi, con jardines tropicales lujosos y fácil acceso a la playa. Las vistas de la playa y la brisa del océano crean un ambiente verdaderamente tranquilo durante toda la estancia. El personal fue constantemente caliente, profesional y atento, contribuyendo significativamente a la experiencia general. Las habitaciones son espaciosas y bien mantenidas, con camas cómodas y instalaciones esenciales. Las habitaciones más cercanas a la playa o a la piscina son especialmente agradables debido a las vistas y fácil acceso. La selección de comidas fue variada y agradable, con una mezcla de cocinas internacionales y locales kenyanas. En general, Diamonds Malindi es una gran opción para los viajeros que buscan una tranquila, escena y cómoda estancia en la playa con un servicio amigable y un ambiente relajado. Es menos sobre actividades de alta energía y más sobre desaceleración y disfrute de la belleza costera de Kenia.

Distant relatives is the perfect place to stay in Kilifi. The whole staff is very friendly and make you feel like family. My wife and I arrived during off season, so when we showed up at 04:30 there was already a room available even though our check in was technically not until 12:00 that day. Mohammed at the bar made sure we were taken care of whenever we wanted something to eat or drink. The food and drink prices were reasonable, after 5 days we only spent around $100 USD. The pool was our favorite spot to sit and relax while reading our books. But reception was also able to help us call a Tuk Tuk into town and to the white sandy beaches and that was about $10 USD round trip. Beware of the Vervet monkeys though, they live in the trees surrounding the property and they will steal your food if you turn your eyes for even just a second! The toilets outside the Bandas are composting toilets, and that isn’t for everyone, but they do have traditional flush toilets as well near the pool area.

La ubicación es agradable, excelentes habitaciones con grandes vistas al océano y balcón con cama y sillas que se pueden sentar y relajarse mientras se mira el océano. El hotel está muy bien situado, muy cerca de la ciudad, muy cerca de la ciudad, muy cerca de la ciudad, muy cerca de la ciudad, muy cerca de la ciudad, muy cerca de la ciudad, muy cerca de la ciudad, muy cerca de la ciudad, muy cerca de la ciudad, muy cerca de la ciudad, muy cerca de la ciudad, muy cerca de la ciudad, muy cerca de la ciudad, muy cerca de la ciudad, muy cerca de la ciudad, muy cerca de la El Wi-Fi no funcionaba en las habitaciones y fue muy largo antes de que se resuelva. No pensaría quedarse allí de nuevo.

Me and my fiancé stayed there for 6 nights and it was magical. Excellent atmosphere excellent service. The place is sure clean. The foods delicious lots Of activities to do and things to see you have the beach right there within walking distance of your bungalow. They have a pool also if you don’t feel like going to the beach but I feel you’d be making a big mistake it’s amazing. Feeling that cool Indian Ocean water. You can see all kinds of birds and animals. It’s an absolute paradise. I’d easily gives this place a 10/10 and recommend it to anyone.

A nice resort in Watamu, with basically everything needed during your stay. The room is beautiful, spacious and comfortable, the view is beautiful, the breakfast buffet is varied, copious and delicious. Pro: nice environment, very friendly staff, helpful and gentle, loads of activities during your stay Con: everything is in euros and pricey (in Watamu) because most tourists are Europeans, so when I arrived and wanted to do laundry, I got shocked with the price. The bar’s prices are rather the same as in Europe too.

Pros: Beautiful hotel built with it's locality at heart. The Swahili architecture in the rooms especially is top notch. Big, clean rooms with views and balcony. Great staff, Amisi at reception and George at the restaurant were exceptional. Kilifi itself is beautiful so would visit again. P/s - if you can, please visit the spa! Cons: Food was average (buffet dinner and breakfast). These have great room for improvement.

Tutto sommato la struttura non è male, molto bella la piscina e anche la spiaggia attrezzata, c’è un campo da beach volley…anche la posizione è ottima. Da mangiare è ok… anche se c’è da rivedere qualcosa sopratutto nel variare i cibi e nel mettere frutta a disposizione… il personale è molto gentile. L’unica pecca è l’organizzazione per l’intrattenimento degli ospiti.. animazione quasi inesistente essendo un resort!

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.
