ケニアキリフィで、プールのあるホテル

I recently stayed at Diamonds Malindi in Kenya, and it offered a relaxing and scenic coastal escape with a strong focus on comfort and laid-back luxury. The resort is beautifully set along the Malindi coastline, with lush tropical gardens and easy access to the beach. The atmosphere is peaceful, making it especially suitable for couples, families, or anyone looking to unwind away from busy city life. The beachfront views and ocean breeze create a truly calming environment throughout the stay. The staff were consistently warm, professional, and attentive, contributing significantly to the overall experience. Service across the resort—from reception to dining—was smooth and welcoming, with a genuine effort to make guests feel at home. Rooms are spacious and well-maintained, featuring comfortable bedding and essential amenities. While the design leans more toward classic beach-resort style rather than ultra-modern luxury, everything is kept clean and functional. Rooms closer to the beach or pool area are especially enjoyable due to the views and easy access. The food selection was varied and enjoyable, with a mix of international and local Kenyan cuisine. Dining by the ocean added a nice touch to the overall experience. The pool area and beach setup are well-kept and offer plenty of space to relax. Overall, Diamonds Malindi is a great choice for travelers seeking a calm, scenic, and comfortable beachfront stay with friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. It’s less about high-energy activities and more about slowing down and enjoying the coastal beauty of Kenya.

素敵なロケーション、海の素晴らしい景色を望む素晴らしい客室、海を見下ろしながら座ってリラックスできるベッドと椅子のあるバルコニー。非常にきれいで、食べ物はあまりバラエティに富んでおらず、特にシーフードや魚を食べない場合は選択肢が限られています。ホテルは忙しくなかったにもかかわらず、サービスは非常に遅かった。マネージャーに話しましたが、それでもサービスが改善されていないことがわかりました。WiFiは部屋で機能しておらず、解決する前に休暇のほとんどがかかりました。彼らはほとんどの場合チリが尽きてしまい、私の懸念を知っていたにもかかわらず、それらを解決するために多くの努力が払われたと感じました。二度とそこにとどまることを考えません。

快適で快適なホテルは、スーパーマーケットに非常に近い快適な場所にあり、タクシーの運転手が通常行く場所です。朝食は美味しくてバラエティに富んでいて、お茶、果物、クルーズサンガのメインブレックファーストです。ホテルは最前線ではありませんが、別のホテルからビーチに行くことができます。部屋自体は清潔で快適で、便利な宿泊施設があります。バルコニーには快適なソファがあり、夜はリラックスできます。快適なスイミングプール、絶妙な水圧、広いベッド、少し硬いですが、それでも快適なマットレスがあります。

Overall, the hotel is good seeing that not many options in Malindi don’t have beachfronts. But maybe rates should be half the current one. We paid 200 USD per night per standard room for bed and breakfast, and we thought for what it is, it’s not worth it. We didn’t see the kind of services and amenities you’d expect from this price in Malindi. Also, breakfast was subpar for this kind of hotel and price. The breakfast wasn’t great and didn’t have many options. On my first breakfast I asked for Americano and they gave me cheap instant coffee. They replaced it with actual coffee when I told them this is bad instant coffee, but not sure why offer it in the first place. We had lunch there once and was good though. Also, for some reason they didn’t explain, we were not allowed to eat anything, even snacks, while sitting on the sun beds, only drinks allowed and if you want to eat you have to go to the restaurant or the beach bar. We thought that was unreasonably and unnecessarily restrictive. Like I wanted to chill on the sun beds while eating the desert I ordered from there, but they didn’t allow and were very insisting. They didn’t offer any explanation but “sorry, it’s not allowed.” Other beach bars and restaurants on the beach where we went to hang out allowed food while sitting on table/sun beds by the beach. Also, most hotels offer complimentary shuttle pick up from the airport (which is 12 minutes only away from the hotel). They don’t offer it for free and actually offer it at 6+ times more the market price (Uber and taxis charge 350 KES and, the hotel charges 2,000 KES.) On our first day, we seemed to be the only people at the hotel that are not there for the conference, upon arrival we went to the pool by the beach bar. We found it dirty, and full of dead flies and leaves. The staff were nice and responsive and cleaned it immediately, but why have this the pool like this until someone asks to clean it? They also say they have 5 pools (because there are pools in front of every set of four rooms) but the one in front of us was actually filthy. The water was dark and looked visibly not clean. If we asked, they would have probably cleaned it, but I’m not there to supervise and give instructions. I would’ve liked to just find things the way they’re supposed to be. These small things can be annoying though I wouldn’t say it ruined the experience, just made it a bit annoying. Like I’m coming to chill and relax without harming people, there’s no reason to “prevent” me from enjoying an ice cream while sitting watching the beach, have dirty pools, offer bad coffee…etc. we had a good experience overall and I still enjoyed my time, but I might consider other options for my next trip to Malindi seeing that it didn’t provide value for money, especially that most hotels’ rates were around one third of this one (but didn’t have beach fronts, which is probably the reason why).

Distant relatives is the perfect place to stay in Kilifi. The whole staff is very friendly and make you feel like family. My wife and I arrived during off season, so when we showed up at 04:30 there was already a room available even though our check in was technically not until 12:00 that day. Mohammed at the bar made sure we were taken care of whenever we wanted something to eat or drink. The food and drink prices were reasonable, after 5 days we only spent around $100 USD. The pool was our favorite spot to sit and relax while reading our books. But reception was also able to help us call a Tuk Tuk into town and to the white sandy beaches and that was about $10 USD round trip. Beware of the Vervet monkeys though, they live in the trees surrounding the property and they will steal your food if you turn your eyes for even just a second! The toilets outside the Bandas are composting toilets, and that isn’t for everyone, but they do have traditional flush toilets as well near the pool area.

設備:私は1スイートの家に住んでいて、リビングルームは清潔で広く、生活体験はとても快適です 衛生:毎日2回掃除し、ボトル入りの水で水を補います。とてもきれいです。 環境:海の景色は無敵で、ちょうどサンゴ礁+湖エリアにあり、潮が引くたびに非常に多くの青い層を見ることができます サービス:多くの追加項目があります。一日1400ドルで海に出て釣りをします。サービスはとてもいいです。シュノーケリング、酸素ボンベダイビング、夕日渓谷のカーブクルーズなどもあります。体験はとても素晴らしいです。
