Diwani Cottage, hotel in Malindi

Featuring a terrace with pool views, a private beach area and an outdoor swimming pool, Diwani Cottage can be found in Malindi, close to Tropical Beach and 1.7 km from Malindi Beach.

I love this place despite the obvious frustrations from time to time. It's peaceful and a series of apartments either on the ground floor with a terrace or first floor with balcony. The apartments are spacious with a galley kitchen and shower room. The apartments are clean and well equipped. The pool is saltwater and natural and the views to the beach lovely. Fondo the manager is very helpful and all the cleaners super friendly. Eventually they sorted everything out and hence the score of 8 not 6/7!

White Elephant Sea Lodge, hotel in Malindi

Situated along the sandy Malindi beaches, White Elephant Sea & Art Resort in the Marine National Park features 2 swimming pools overlooking the sea.

It is a hotel that holds all the wonders of Africa in the past but has all the creature comforts of the present. You could wonder around the grounds all day and be fascinated by the art. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and they seem to be very happy working there. The owner is always hands-on and they seem to be one happy family, which rubs off on their kindness to their guests. Great location right on the beach with security to fend off the usual beach boys selling their wares. Special thanks to Gimmy, the head waiter/ bar man. A real Gent, professional, helpful, and respectful.

    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.

    The neighborhood is posh, quiet and very beautiful. Green walkways with the breathtaking coastal summer feel in the air. Walking to the beach during sunset was the highlight of my stay. Great location, convenient for me to take the unforgettable boat excursion in Malindi Marine park to the beautiful Sardinia island. The whole stay felt like a dream. Definitely coming back! The experience is truly great than what's portrayed on the pictures.

    My stay was just fantastic.The golden sand beach which is just a minute walk away from the apartment. The greenery well kept garden was very nice. The staff were so welcoming and not forgetting Mr Peter,the host who was very helpful,he sorted all our queries with immediate effect. The interesting part is that the apartments are located inside Ocean Beach Resort,which is a 5 star hotel on Malindi. We accessed the restaurant which offered very delicious meals. We really enjoyed our stay and will sure be back again.
