Our stay at Q Boutique Resort was a very pleasant experience. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff were extremely kind and welcoming. A special thanks to Mr. Wilson, who called in advance to confirm our booking and made sure all our requests were taken care of – his friendliness and professionalism made us feel very welcome. The owner, originally from Romania, did not communicate with us directly, but his team delivered excellent service throughout our stay. On our second day, we experienced a lack of water in the shower for a few hours, but it was quickly resolved, and afterwards we had no further issues. I stayed there with my children, and they were also very happy with the hotel. This was our first visit, but certainly not the last – we are already looking forward to coming back.

The staff: Peter, Gideon, Juma and Patrick at reception were courteous, fulfilled all our wishes and communicated very well with the relevant departments. We immediately felt at home. As I am vegan, it is a bit difficult for me here in Kenya to always choose something from the menu. The waiter Dena was very courteous, understanding, helpful and very knowledgeable. He went through the menu with me every day and always gave me very good advice so that the chef could cook it. Employees like him should be encouraged and appreciated more. Waiter Robert always gave us something to laugh about at the bar and the drinks were very good. No headaches the next day, he was a pleasure to work with. Many thanks to Sofia from the breakfast service, she always had a smile on her face and sweetened our day so we could start the day well. Margaret's pancakes are a must at Medina Palms, they are delicious. Mercy, our housekeeping queen. She wowed us every day with new room decorations Always very lovingly done now I can say I have always slept on cloud nine at Medina Palms. Thank you, Queen Mercy. An appeal to the management of Medina Palms staff to show more encouragement and appreciation the facilities and location are not worth 5 stars for me. The heart of Medina Palms is the staff. Thank you so much to All. Dr.Christine A

Everything was incredibly nice. Really quiet and cozy place with lots of vegetation that made it a small leafy oasis. Great view from the restaurant which had very good breakfast and food and very good service. The view and facilities in the room were unbeatable. We especially liked the net hammocks that hung out over the sea. The pool area was great with very attentive and friendly staff serving towels and drinks. A boat was available whenever you wanted to go over to Watamu.

The hotel staff was amazing — super kind, always smiling, and able to combine great professionalism with a warm, welcoming attitude. The structure itself is beautifully designed and impeccably maintained, making every moment of the stay truly comfortable. The entertainment is soft but very pleasant, never intrusive, and perfectly balanced for a relaxing atmosphere. A special shoutout to Florence, a fantastic entertainer who brings joy with her energy and kindness. But our deepest appreciation goes to Anthony — an elegant, highly professional guide who speaks many languages and is always ready to help with calm, patience, and genuine care. He is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and present without ever being overwhelming. Above all, he is simply a wonderful person: easy to talk to, thoughtful, and capable of making you feel immediately at ease. People like him transform a vacation into an unforgettable experience. We feel truly grateful for his support, his availability, and the humanity he brings to his work. An outstanding team overall — thank you for making our stay so special.

Malindi is currently regarded as the "dead town" but in my opinion, it's the perfect escape from all sorts of pollution- Instantly replaced by the facinating historical landmarks like hell's kitchen & Mambrui in totality, peace & serene, are just some of the healing that Malindi has to offer.
