It is a private villa located 10min by Tuktuk to the center or the coast (beach/restaurants). It is amazing inside, very quite and cozy. It would be really lovely for family holidays here and the chef can help prepare amazing food! It is really a great value of money.

We were the only guests for 2 nights in July 2025. The grounds are quite nice and well kept. The A/C was quite good and could quickly cool the room down. The private beach, not too big, was nice. The staff is very friendly and helpful. To have a "private" pool was cool. "Kasa" is Swahili for turtle and the hotel is full of things designed as turtles, e.g. lamps. There is a turtle watching spot, although we were not able to see any.

Diamonds has got to be one of the best resorts I have ever stayed. Right from the reception to the dining staff, pool staff and general attendants, everyone is courteous and professional. At check in, one of the rooms we had booked was unavailable but we were upgraded to a private suite with a private pool for free, an experience that the kids really loved. The all inclusive package is worth it, and the food is great with amazing variety. One would experience the usual hitches with delayed service etc, but the managers are great at resolving issues. The resort fronts the beach and the hotel has done a great job at creating private seating spaces by the beach where you can also work from. The evening activities facilitated by the management made our stay more enjoyable and even after we checked out and went to Watamu, we kept criticising every other place we stayed because nothing could compare to Diamonds.

    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.

    If you can cook in Malindi, please cook.

    If you can cook in Malindi, please cook. Chefs are also too expensive but if you are up for it, great. The customer service in Malindi is questionable, some restaurants even packing sub food as your take away. Also, the locals especially tour guides try to rip you off compared to other coastal towns, its quite annoying. Make sure you have someone who knows their way around Malindi so that you can be linked up.

    Malindi town is typical of Kenya with a market, supermarket, lots of traders and as a tourist you are well served. It is a quiet safe area but restaurants tend to be quiet at night with few customers.If you want nightlife there are clubs and beach parties til 3am or later .

    Cool laid back town. Action is on the beach.

    Cool laid back town. Action is on the beach. Local foods like fish, calamari, prawns easily gotten-mostly in the evening. Its a 'crime' not to use a motor bike(boda boda) to tour the town on foot! Annoying whistles and hoots from the riders- just avoid eye contact! Malindi town is easy to walk around. Coffee lovers have a huge choice- kahawa tungu( peppered with cinnamon&ginger powder)- on the bench at every turn of road -or- in Italian themed coffee joints by the beach and main streets. Lo Sfizio restaurant- along Lamu road is a great one.- Malaika Restaurant- Buntwani Beach is another.

    Easy town to move around. Not that many pedestrian walkways.

    Easy town to move around. Not that many pedestrian walkways. From my last visit(2023) there is an upgrade though. Need for more coffee places. The beach areas could be more cleaner. For coffee and lovely delicious snacks,go to Malaika restaurant opposite the Buntwani Beach Front. Walking is the healthiest way to move around Malindi,just don't give a visual contact with the boda boda taxis( you will ride unwillingly!) Avoid the Tikka chicken with coloured(yellow) spicing.

    The information on Booking.com about Malindi is an accurate representation of what I found on site. I visited the following places: Galana Shopping Centre Vasco da Gama Pillar Portuguese Chapel Malindi Marine National Park. I occasionally ate out from a wide range of restaurants in the city centre. It was quite easy to move around Malindi and I currently have no experience of places to avoid while in Malindi.

    My husband and I had an amazing time in this hotel, specially because of the workers. Maurice and the other employees has been so kind and helpful to us. I recommend to try the fresh cooked lunch or dinner from the lady, it was very delicious, it was nice to try kenyan food. Also the breakfast was perfect aswell. The hotel is very beautiful and clean, the swimming pool very good aswell. To us there is absolutely nothing bad to notice. Thank you to Maurice and all the other employees. I would love to come back to stay there again, no regret.

Rooms are very spacious, pools are amazing, all beachbeds are super comfortable. Also there is an amazing music all over the hotel with a perfectly set volume and great selection of relaxing songs. This is one of the best hotel at the Kenyan cost. We will definitely come back.

    The place is absolutely amazing with a nice pool and not far from the beach. Meals are very well cooked and portions are huge. Alex is always on site making sure every guest is fully satisfied. This property has by far the best management standards which you can barely find in Kenya in general with very well trained staff.
