Very nice hotel, well maintained and clean. The breakfast choice was quite limited but you could order your choice of eggs. The A La Carte menu was fantastic, Lobster or crab pasta was delicious and a very big portion as well as very reasonable prices. The only downside is the location which is on the main road and not as easy access to the sea by walking.

We loved Kilindi. My husband and I came here for 4 nights on our honeymoon. The property is gorgeous, and the friendly staff looked after us beautifully the entire time. Daudi was our personal attendant and he was so friendly and attentive without ever hovering over us. The chef makes incredible fresh meals, we didn't have a single thing at breakfast, lunch, or dinner that we didn't love. The bar makes great drinks and fresh daily juices.

Quite far to get to from Stonetown but a stunning location. It’s boutique hotel so not the facilities of a mega resort but the local friendly staff arranged a couple of excellent things for me and I really enjoyed the intimate atmosphere. Great food too with sea views. I also enjoyed a massaged in a small hut by the sea so could hear the surf.

The pool area was clean and enticing. There was also boules, volleyball and badminton available to keep the body exercised. As well as table tennis and darts. The restaurant was superb. Ingredients and dishes were varied and akin to fine dining. Resort felt very private although effectively right on the beach....
