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.

We stayed five nights with three persons in the Simba Jike villa at the Lawford’s and it was wonderful. The pictures we found online didn’t do the villa justice. You can expect a huge 3 storey villa with two bedrooms and bathrooms, a comfy huge living area and several chill-out lounge spots at the piece. A huge kitchen and fridge. Daily cleaning will be done and your will get mosquito repellent daily as well, we loved the space, tranquility and luxury. We also enjoyed the poolside as well as the neighbouring beachclub Lost a lot. It really felt like a home away from home, asante sana everyone at Lawford’s

The Lawford was a lovely place to stay in Malindi. The 3 bedroom villa and private pool were amazing. Large upstairs and downstairs lounge areas. Lots of space for everyone. There was a full kitchen with all the pots, pans, utensils etc. Service was great. Staff were delightful. Had fun with pool and table tennis. We would live there, if we could! Our neighbors were a bit loud but management tried to help with the situation. The beach is close but the water was brown and not “inviting.” There is a river just north that drains into the ocean right above the property. We would definitely visit again!

Large and nicely decorated rooms. The garden is beautiful with direct access to the long beach. The staff in the restaurant was very friendly and the food excellent. We had grilled lobster and finished our meal with mango ice cream. I will surely come back!

The local staff are excellent at their jobs but the hotel’s management does not cater for local Kenyan tourists’ needs the same as the international guests. The attitude reflects on the service with speaks ****** within our own country.

Lowfords was one of the best hotels in Malindi years ago. However this time it was a disappointment as over the years it has depreciated and unfortunately there is nothing good to write about it. Rooms are big but in a bad condition furniture is as old as the hotel.Breakfast basic. Staff helpful but inexperienced Hope management will work hard to restore it to its old glory
