"This place is still a working progress but a peaceful quite place to stay in safe good area in Malindi. Affordable comfortable and clean. Friendly staff. Overall service very good. Will stay there again. "
"This is a great place to relax, but there is not a lot to do at the hotel or within walking distance. The plunge pools with villa are fantastic! Due to the tides in the area, you can only swim in the ocean at high tide, and the water has a lot of seaweed.
The restaurant is amazing, we really enjoyed all of our meals and the staff were always friendly and helpful."
"THE MANAGER ROSEMARY IS GREAT SO PROFESSIONAL AND SO HELPFUL TO MAKE YOUR STAY WONDERFUL BECAUSE SHE REALIZES YOUR SPECIAL REQUESTES. ALL THE STAFF ARE AMAZING AND ALWAYS SMILE. REALLY I WANTED TO BOOK MORE DAYS BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. NEXT TIME. THANK YOU ROSEMARY TO MADE MY MOTHER’S BIRTHDAY AMAZING. "
"Lovely setting - nice touch having flowers on the bed and turn down service. The units all look inwards to the pool which was used regularly by us. At night the pool has lights and makes for a romantic swim. There was no jug to make tea or coffee or facilities to cook yet there was a fry pan, pots and dishes. Even microwave would have been useful. The restaurant wan't operational - we would have used it. Breakfast was delivered to the room daily and was good."
"Driftwood is a really chilled hotel right on the beach. We had a lovely couple of nights to end our Kenyan trip. Take this place for what it is and you'll have a great time. The staff are so friendly and the food is really nice. Enjoyed it"
"Reception was very rude. They claimed to have not received confirmation of our booking from hotels.com and pestered us for about 24-hours to repay with our credit card or KSH. We asked them to call hotels.com but they never did, so we finally had to do so ourselves with long distance calling rates, to rectify the situation."
