We loved the entire layout of the place, it was calm and peaceful, staff was very friendly, sun beds were super comfortable and it was very empty when we were there. We recommend March. The tour to hells kitchen was one of the highlights.

Staff was very very slow, friendly but too slow. We have to ask multiple times for things and the service in general should have been better because we seemed to be the only guests for a day. The beds are not good, we did not sleep too well, the AC was not strong enough, we had to ask for a fan. The breakfast was not to a 5 star hotel level in my opinion and the cost for the massages was insane. I would have loved a massage but a message in the middle of Africa for over 11k KES (around 80 EUR) is like European prices.

Superb setting with stunning communal areas adorned with beautiful scented white flower trees. The rooms were super clean and the staff were truly exceptional and a huge asset to the property. They were most attentive and remained at our disposal throughout the days and nights of our stay. Shiela, Happy,Rosemary and Gakena will live long in our memories of our stay at this oasis. The warmest of smiles and happy to help demeanour will take some beating wherever you stay in the wold. Malindi is a hidden gem and in my opinion this hotel is by far the best in the area. Be sure to try the Hob restaurant which is close by.

One of the most impressive aspects of the resort is its remarkable cleanliness. From the moment I arrived, I noticed how flawlessly maintained everything was. The rooms and communal areas sparkled, thanks to the dedicated housekeeping team, who take pride in their work. Every little detail was carefully attended to—beds were perfect, and the outdoor spaces, including the stunning pool areas and gardens, were nothing short of immaculate. Even the beach and poolside, which can often be challenging to keep tidy, were pristine, adding an extra layer of luxury to my experience. It truly felt like a slice of paradise!

One area they could improve on is evening entertainment. For guests looking for more activities in the evenings, introducing light entertainment options such as live acoustic music, cultural performances, or themed cocktail evenings could enhance the nighttime experience. Creating cozy outdoor movie nights or bonfires with marshmallow roasting could also offer something unique for couples and families.

I liked the staff, the design, the vastness, the pools, the beach!

Didn't like the fact that there is no room service at night, and basically after ~19:00 you have no options to eat anything at the hotel except for their dinner which is a 4 course menu that costs 8000 kes per person. To be fair I visited in low season and capacity of the hotel was very low. Malindi is very hot and humid and air conditioning at the hotel definitely can improve- first night was too hot for me even with AC on full power. So the next day they automatically upgraded my room for free and it was way better, but still it wasn't cold enough for me to get under a blanket or wear clothes while sleeping.

the property is stunning. everything is cleaned and neat. the pool, garden, entire property is gorgeous. the short bike ride to the beach is great. the staff are incredible and so friendly.

only restaurant open for dinner was at the Lion in the Sun. although the food was absolutely delicious it was quite limited if you stay for a week at the hotel.

We loved our stay, the staff is very professional, the food is spectacular, and they are very flexible. Shuttle services available to take you to the resort whenever you would like. We spent most of our time at the retreat because it was so relaxing and quiet. We also had a pool right outside our room which was a plus! Would definitely go back!

Lion in the Sun is the sis property of Billionaire Resort! They are very close to each other. Lion in the Sun its more Boutique Boho style and it has the Spa Center on it. Great rooms, amazing pool, Extraordinary staff and Pro Management Team.

There is no beach access here but you can go to Billionaire Resort Hotel.

The place was super clean, the staff were amazing and friendly. Overall a very good experience.

The food wasn’t the best, they could do with more variety. The cats made noise outside the rooms at night, which wasn’t ideal if you want to get some rest.

Lovely Staff. Mateos, Sheila Otieno, Linet Njau, among others. Not forgetting Purity, the one who was always taking care of our residence. And Zablon at entrace

Reception during one of the dinner on 22nd Dec by a certain manager from Billionaire Dubai as i was made to understand later. It was discriminative or racial. Didn't like it at all.

I loved the efficiency and friendliness of the front office team and all the staff. The location is fantastic, and the retreat area is wonderfully serene. I can’t wait to return for a longer stay with friends and family.

The staff hovering to take my plate as soon as I’m done eating felt a bit off to me.
