Really loved our stay at this special cozy little resort. THE STAFF WERE ALL AMAZING!! Our room had a comfy bed (great shower) and a couch and chair on patio. Super clean. The pool was so nice in the afternoons and the bar area is great with cozy couches and a TV and books. In less then 5 minutes u are at the beach and I always looked forward to a nice greeting by Moses the security guard and Daniel our friendly waiter/bartender. Don’t hesitate to stay here! Plus they have decent Chardonnay!

This was the most magical vacation and guesthouse that we have ever stayed at! The facilities are gorgeous and the staff is so sweet and accommodating (and always available) and we LOVED the big and beautiful pool. I think floating around in the water at night with the palm trees swaying above me was the most magical experience I have ever had. The hotel has wonderful gardens and is situated on a beautiful beach! Concerning the bad reviews- the guesthouse is located in a small town in East...

A large, open-air structure with a glass ceiling, a swimming pool in front, and a mountainous backdrop.

Lion in the Sun Boutique Hotel & Spa

Malindi

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful, elegant and comfy resort. The spa is definitely worth a visit.. Dining, outside bar and pools all added to a wonderful, relaxing experience. Not having access to the beach at the resort was a bit disappointing (wish it was clearly stated on Expedia) but shuttle to their sister resort (the little Gelato place made up for it;) with access to the beach was very convenient. Will be back for a longer stay.

A beach with palm trees, a thatched hut, and wooden lounge chairs.
