Marine Holiday House

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 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.

I rate this place 5 star. Relaxing beautiful place, Good customer service headed by Rachel, Friendly staff and delicious food made by chef morris. I and my friends really enjoyed and won't mind coming here as many times!
