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.

It was like stepping into a whole new dimension, This property has a lovely extensive garden which was so beautiful to wake up to every morning. The property was peaceful and calm which is surprising because its very near the town centre. I felt very safe as the security wasn't playing around. The staff were also very kind and helpful. They have a cute little restaurant which serves amazing meals and the breakfast was too generous. I have to go back here ❤

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.

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.

The neighborhood is posh, quiet and very beautiful. Green walkways with the breathtaking coastal summer feel in the air. Walking to the beach during sunset was the highlight of my stay. Great location, convenient for me to take the unforgettable boat excursion in Malindi Marine park to the beautiful Sardinia island. The whole stay felt like a dream. Definitely coming back! The experience is truly great than what's portrayed on the pictures.
