Kola Beach Resort — Hotel in Magarini ward

My wish to discover the Kenyan coast came true in the best way possible when I spent a fortnight with a friend at the KolaBeach Resort in Mambruj/Malindi. ||The spacious room was well furnished in African style and located in one of the various villas, surrounded by a well kept luxuriant park - a true delight to enjoy the many palm trees amids blossoming buganvilleas. Very good room and cleaning service and prime bar service at the pool.||The property is directly located next to a wide white beach stretching for miles, where I could have undisturbed walks along the shore, something which seems to be a rarety in the area. The sea and the beach-beds area were clean and inviting.||The personnel is kind, thoughtful and always at disposal for any need. Every meal was a highlight of superb food, mainly Italian with some well prepared local specialities. ||I appreciated the quietness and the refined style of the KolaBeach which allowed me to spend a great time and feel relaxed and secure all the time.||The management and front desk proved to be up to any task, kindly and professionally. I definitely recommend...

We booked this as a wild card, my review is delayed because i think we stayed in Dec 2020. We knew nothing about the hotel or Mambrui and just decided to try it. It was quite a drive from our last hotel in Watamu, on the main road and also off, but when we arrived it was a pleasant hotel with an expansive clean beach. We had the whole cottage to ourselves so it was very comfortable. I wouldn't want to share but that's just me. It has a lot of Mediterranean coast vibe.It is best to stay there if you have your own car and can drive in and out. Otherwise you will be stuck. They provided minimal water and extras at premium price so we drove out to get lots of water and snacks for our children. I used their spa and the service...

I stayed here from 23rd-27th Dec 2018. The resort is very beautiful but the services offered are below its standard. The breakfast buffet was so fake....no variety at all, same breakfast through out the stay. The fruits were hardly fresh, no mango juice yet mangoes are in plenty in at the coast. There is no form of entertainment after dinner and no relevant Christmas decorations to create a festive mood. And there is a alot of bias in terms of skin colour....whites are given better service and more attention. The staff looked overworked and underpaid. In conclusion: My stay here was boring and I wouldn't go back...
