Hôtels avec petit déjeuner à Kilifi, Kenya

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).

I recently stayed at Diamonds Malindi in Kenya, and it offered a relaxing and scenic coastal escape with a strong focus on comfort and laid-back luxury. The resort is beautifully set along the Malindi coastline, with lush tropical gardens and easy access to the beach. The atmosphere is peaceful, making it especially suitable for couples, families, or anyone looking to unwind away from busy city life. The beachfront views and ocean breeze create a truly calming environment throughout the stay. The staff were consistently warm, professional, and attentive, contributing significantly to the overall experience. Service across the resort—from reception to dining—was smooth and welcoming, with a genuine effort to make guests feel at home. Rooms are spacious and well-maintained, featuring comfortable bedding and essential amenities. While the design leans more toward classic beach-resort style rather than ultra-modern luxury, everything is kept clean and functional. Rooms closer to the beach or pool area are especially enjoyable due to the views and easy access. The food selection was varied and enjoyable, with a mix of international and local Kenyan cuisine. Dining by the ocean added a nice touch to the overall experience. The pool area and beach setup are well-kept and offer plenty of space to relax. Overall, Diamonds Malindi is a great choice for travelers seeking a calm, scenic, and comfortable beachfront stay with friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. It’s less about high-energy activities and more about slowing down and enjoying the coastal beauty of Kenya.

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.

Libère location, excellentes chambres avec excellentes vues sur l'océan et balcon avec lit et chaises que vous pouvez vous asseoir et vous détendre tout en regardant l'océan. Le service était très lent, même si l'hôtel n'était pas occupé. Parlez au gestionnaire mais il a toujours trouvé que le service n'a pas amélioré. Ils ont couru de frigo pour la plupart du temps et, même si elles étaient conscientes de mes préoccupations, elles se sentaient très attentives à la résolution de ces problèmes. Je ne pense pas qu'il y ait de nouveau.

Mon fiancé et moi y avons séjourné 6 nuits et c'était magique. Excellente ambiance, excellent service. L'endroit est vraiment propre. La nourriture est délicieuse, il y a plein d'activités à faire et de choses à voir. Vous avez la plage juste là, à quelques pas de votre bungalow. Ils ont aussi une piscine si vous n'avez pas envie d'aller à la plage, mais je pense que vous feriez une grosse erreur, c'est incroyable. Sentir cette eau fraîche de l'océan Indien... Vous pouvez voir toutes sortes d'oiseaux et d'animaux. C'est un paradis absolu. Je donnerais facilement un 10/10 à cet endroit et le recommanderais à tout le monde.

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.

Il est très confortable et confortable, et vous pouvez vous rendre à l'hôtel.
