This is my second stay at this hotel. The beachfront location is ideal, with plenty of seating and lounging area to take in the ocean view. Though not necessarily modern, the rooms have a classic elegance about them. The staff is friendly and helpful. The evening mosquito net service is a nice amenity.

Very clean room and ver friendly and helpful staff
### A wonderful place to relax and unwind
I had a fantastic stay at Kilili Baharini Malindi and would happily return. The hotel has a very special charm, with a beautiful, spacious property surrounded by an abundance of lush tropical greenery. It feels peaceful, authentic and wonderfully relaxed.
The staff are absolutely outstanding — warm, friendly, attentive and genuinely helpful throughout the entire stay. They really make you feel welcome and are a major reason why the hotel is so enjoyable.
The property is very well maintained and offers several pools, plenty of space to relax and a lovely shaded beach area. The combination of greenery, pools and direct access to the beach creates a wonderful atmosphere.
The food was another highlight, especially the delicious local dishes. It was a pleasure to experience authentic local flavors rather than just the usual international hotel cuisine.
The spa and gym are also excellent, clean and well equipped, making it easy to combine relaxation with some exercise.
Overall, Kilili Baharini is a charming and peaceful hotel with a beautiful tropical setting, excellent facilities and, above all, exceptional staff. A wonderful place to slow down, relax and enjoy the Kenyan coast.
Elegante e confortevole Resort 5* affacciato sul tratto migliore della spiaggia di Malindi (costa sud, sulla Casuarina Rd, vicino al Parco Marino). Non è una struttura nuova o moderna, ma è tenuto molto bene. Le stanze hanno tutte metrature molto generose, arredamento di buona qualità, con tanto spazio per ogni esigenza degli ospiti. I bagni sono ugualmente amplissimi, ed i box doccia in muratura sono tra i più grandi che abbia mai visto.Teleria e prodotti da bagno di qualità e letti comodi. Ad assicurare l'ideale climatizzazione, concorrono il ventilatore a pale, il climatizzatore e uno splendido tetto in "makuti" che ombreggia sia l'unità abitativa sia la veranda antistante (con tavolo e divanetti), di cui ogni stanza è dotata. L'hotel ha un ristorante di ottima qualità, per cui, oltre alla colazione, può essere una validissima opzione per gli altri pasti, senza l'incomodo di doversi spostare. La zona bar è ampia ed elegante, la spiaggia privata tenuta in modo esemplare, così come le piscine, di cui una proprio sulla spiaggia. Anche l'area verde, che circonda ogni unità abitativa, dall'ingresso fino alla spiaggia (con le palme fin quasi al bagnasciuga) è molto curata e contribuisce all'appeal della struttura. Il parcheggio offre la possibilità (gratuita) di lasciare custodita la propria vettura. Il personale è cordiale e professionale, l'accoglienza è calda e durante la permanenza ci si sente "coccolati". .

Rude front desk staff at check in
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.
