A really bad place

The review is incredibly easy to write, lounging at the gorgeous pool, feeling a cool breeze. The accommodation is basic but very clean and affordable, with multiple fans in the rooms and hot showers. The location is a bit difficult to find at night but easy to navigate along Casuarina road with all the restaurants within easy access. The staff have been excellent, friendly and laid back.

The place is very quiet and relaxed it's definitely a good choice. It's not directly on the road but a very short walk. You get tuk tuk and boda boda very easily from everywhere. It's only 7 mins walk to the marine National Park where you may walk on the beautiful white sand beaches, or have something to eat or take boat trips to different islands and have a great time.

MARINE HOLIDAY HOUSE Very beautiful and clean place Very kind staff and very good food Affordable price fo everyone Delicious breakfast I will be back soon with more fiends and family nembers to this nice hotel

The resort is lovely with spacious rooms, very basic but with a African decor that makes you feel you are in the right place. The restaurant has to be improved because many of the items on the menu aren’t available. Nice pool and ok breakfast, beautiful place.

Very poor. Not at all as advertised. There is no pool bar (it burnt down in 2014). A lot of false advertising. Towels and sheets in poor condition. Not clean as washed by hand and not changed daily. Breakfast consists of one sausage, egg cooked to choice and baked beans only. No choice available. Plate of dumplings, pancakes and toast. Hot water and milk in flasks. Hardly anything available on the menu and certainly no bar at all. Restaurant is in the Reception. Obviously the owner does not wish to spend any money on the property as it is looking very tired and run down in areas. Rachael, the Caretaker/Manager and the staff do their best under difficult circumstances as the owner does not like to communicate/liaise with his guests who are paying. The best part is the pool and gardens. Not much else though. Very disappointed as not what is portrayed in the marketing. Our villa was unfortunately backing onto the staff quarters so rather noisy at times. My husband is Kenyan and we visit Malindi frequently but would not consider staying here again as there are much nicer places available in the area. All in all very disappointing.
