The good part of this place is the location. We had friends that stayed at beach resorts who were just constantly approched on the beach and even sat in their resort outside. We had no problems as its hidden on a nice street away from the sellers but still a 1k cab ride if you do want to be on the beach. The roomswere spotless and as its a brandnew hotel you can tell that nothing has been used. I am sure no one had slept in the bed before I stayed there and its obvious. Mosiqutos plugs in all the rooms and air con switched on so when we arrived it was cool and insect free. Its a boutique hotel so unlike those massive resorts we get served and any request is quick. Food was great and lots of choices of accomodation styles for solo travellers, couples and families.

I've had a wonderful experience staying at Saffron Garden recently. The interior design of the hotel is stunning, with a perfect blend of modern African aesthetics and comfort. The landscaping is equally impressive, providing a serene and beautiful environment to relax in. The staff were exceptionally kind and attentive, making my stay even more enjoyable. Their genuine hospitality made me feel welcomed and well cared for throughout my visit. I highly recommend Saffron Garden for its beautiful design, lovely grounds, and excellent staff, and I look forward to visiting again!

We had a wonderful 10 days. The staff was fantastic. Linda, Amos, and Fatma were really helpful at all times. We also got the greatest sea food spaghetti ever, compliments to the chef. Every day, the room was cleaned, and the staff ensured that the resort's facilities were always immaculate. As a result, the entire menu is wonderful; we particularly like the way the steak was delivered, and the cooking time was ideal (as said, the chef is the best). Even though the resort is 3 minutes by tuk tuk from the beach, this was not an issue for us. We could easily walk there, but we prefer to use the tuk tuk every time. The closest beach is the greatest in Watamu, and it is very clean and peaceful. If you want to rest, no one will disturb you. The owner, Manni was always around and ready for a chat. Throughout dinner, he is constantly there to ensure that everything is in order and that clients are satisfied with the food/service. I tried their one-hour massage service, and I must say it was wonderful. If we return to Kenya, we will undoubtedly stay at this resort.

Some really good beaches... very full day trips on boats... lots of stalls to purchase things... good supermarkets on the main road if you are staying in a villa... due to the heavy Italian tourist presence, there are plenty of great eateries and restaurants... easy to get around on motorbike or tuk tuk... generally very safe compared to Nairobi.

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.

It is not a place for a holiday, I was there to check on some of my Property but I was frustrated because I ended up staying for more Days than I had wanted. It is loud and congested.but if one has his own home is Ok but there are other nice places to enjoy and have fun It easy to get round Mtwapa, by Tax Tuk tuk and motor Bikes and public means of transport called Matatus.

The apartment is very pretty and the terrace on the creek offers beautiful vieux. In the morning many monkeys come to say "hi" : it's very funny indeed. If you like to walk...it needs only 10 minutes to go in town. Close to the apartment there are 2 very nice restaurants on the sea, where it's possible to eat very good food.

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.

Kilifi is a perfect town for me.

Kilifi is a perfect town for me. It has a peaceful energy that makes it a preference for the more hectic atmospheres in Watamu or Malindi in the North or the Mombasa resorts to the South. You can explore the Indian Ocean from the Dhows and experience the inland waterways and the impressive mangrove forests via the Kilifi Creek. The Aroboko Sokoke Forest with it rich biodiversity is just a short drive from the town.

Watamu is one of my favorite places to visit in North Coast.

Watamu is one of my favorite places to visit in North Coast. It is not overpowering like other towns in North Coast. The people are very friendly and hospitable. I particularly enjoyed the sunset views at Litchaus and Crab Shack. The cultural tour to Waka Waka Island and seeing dolphins. However, it can be pricier than other places. I recommend going with an open mind and a spirit of fun. To get the most from Watamu, do not rush. I recommend spacing out your travel and allowing yourself to soak it all in. There's definitely so much to see and learn from the local community.
