Still my favorite vacation spot. Everything is spotlessly clean, the staff is attentive,jovial and warm led by George and James. The food is delicious, fresh and plenty. (compliments to the chef). Breakfast served to order was great, lots of fresh fruits and salads included in breakfast and dinner. Alex does everything to make all guests feel special. The complimentary birthday cake presented by the staff while singing and dancing was the highlight of my holiday. See you again next year😀

A hidden gem, Saffron Gardens, is easily one of the best boutique spa hotels we've ever stayed at. The peace and calm hits you as you walk through the door, and the reception staff were lovely and welcoming. The pool area is stunning, the restaurant food was delicious, and it was lovely to meet chef Kelly and hear her story during our stay. Morning yoga with Jenn provided a great start to the day, and a massage and aloe treatment was a perfect way to end the day. The room interior is neutral bohemian chic, with a huge bed, his and hers sinks and a large shower. There was a lounge swing out the front of the property to relax in after a swim We extended our stay we loved it so much. Thank you Saffron Gardens

All the staff were very nice and discret. And arranged with whatever I needed during my stay. The property is basic but has everything you need to sleep and wash. The roof top is really comfortable with WiFi. The restaurant is there if you don’t want to go out and has a nice sunset. I tried the omelet and sausage in the morning it was very yummy. Depends on the price but if you get a good price, it will be a good deal.

Malindi is currently regarded as the "dead town" but in my opinion, it's the perfect escape from all sorts of pollution- Instantly replaced by the facinating historical landmarks like hell's kitchen & Mambrui in totality, peace & serene, are just some of the healing that Malindi has to offer.

If you can cook in Malindi, please cook.

If you can cook in Malindi, please cook. Chefs are also too expensive but if you are up for it, great. The customer service in Malindi is questionable, some restaurants even packing sub food as your take away. Also, the locals especially tour guides try to rip you off compared to other coastal towns, its quite annoying. Make sure you have someone who knows their way around Malindi so that you can be linked up.

Malindi town is typical of Kenya with a market, supermarket, lots of traders and as a tourist you are well served. It is a quiet safe area but restaurants tend to be quiet at night with few customers.If you want nightlife there are clubs and beach parties til 3am or later .

Cool laid back town. Action is on the beach.

Cool laid back town. Action is on the beach. Local foods like fish, calamari, prawns easily gotten-mostly in the evening. Its a 'crime' not to use a motor bike(boda boda) to tour the town on foot! Annoying whistles and hoots from the riders- just avoid eye contact! Malindi town is easy to walk around. Coffee lovers have a huge choice- kahawa tungu( peppered with cinnamon&ginger powder)- on the bench at every turn of road -or- in Italian themed coffee joints by the beach and main streets. Lo Sfizio restaurant- along Lamu road is a great one.- Malaika Restaurant- Buntwani Beach is another.

Easy town to move around. Not that many pedestrian walkways. From my last visit(2023) there is an upgrade though. Need for more coffee places. The beach areas could be more cleaner. For coffee and lovely delicious snacks,go to Malaika restaurant opposite the Buntwani Beach Front. Walking is the healthiest way to move around Malindi,just don't give a visual contact with the boda boda taxis( you will ride unwillingly!) Avoid the Tikka chicken with coloured(yellow) spicing.

The information on Booking.com about Malindi is an accurate representation of what I found on site. I visited the following places: Galana Shopping Centre Vasco da Gama Pillar Portuguese Chapel Malindi Marine National Park. I occasionally ate out from a wide range of restaurants in the city centre. It was quite easy to move around Malindi and I currently have no experience of places to avoid while in Malindi.

A beautifully maintained place with friendly service and many attractions, including swimming pools, optional activities, volleyball, sculpture, palm leaf weaving, and much more. The hotel also offers safaris, sea and land excursions, and other optional excursions. The food was varied and delicious. There was always some evening entertainment, such as karaoke or dancing. Guests' safety and peace of mind were also ensured. Security was always on duty at the beach.

Spacious and set in nice grounds. The hotel i would rate as 4 star but as the rooms are in need of an upgrade I’d say the rooms are 3 star standard. The beach restaurant is fab and big shout out to Maryam who was wonderful and makes the best cocktails and moctails. Also Nancy was great waitress and Dickson is a great manager.
