Amazing stay with my boyfriend for one week. We loved the bedroom / apartment with porch and the beach / swimming pool area. Great recreation place for couples. Nice boutique and spa. Lovely Italian manager!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The Lawford was a lovely place to stay in Malindi. The 3 bedroom villa and private pool were amazing. Large upstairs and downstairs lounge areas. Lots of space for everyone. There was a full kitchen with all the pots, pans, utensils etc. Service was great. Staff were delightful. Had fun with pool and table tennis. We would live there, if we could! Our neighbors were a bit loud but management tried to help with the situation. The beach is close but the water was brown and not “inviting.” There is a river just north that drains into the ocean right above the property. We would definitely visit again!
