We stayed at Sandies Tropical village for a week in March, first thing to note is the extremely long bumpy road from Mombassa Airport to Malindi, it takes forever!! Once we arrived the hotel looked great but what a disappointment when we entered our room. It was listed as a 4 star hotel, looking the our room- not a chance,... More

I think that a 4 star rating is a bit of a push for this Hotel, standard rooms suffice but lack Privacy as they overlook an open Garden interlaced with walkways so sitting on the Balcony is not private. I don't know what it is but so many Hotels seem to go out of their way to find the hardest... More

We booked a junior suite for 2 weeks and payed about 4500€, airco not working and no light in the bathroom and it took us 5 days to get it fixed, room was crowded with minibugs too... If You like...

The hotel is well maintained,built in typical African rooftop style. The staff is generally friendly, especially the waiters and cleaning teams. The rooms are tidy, airy, no television. We stayed in one of the garden suites and our package had complimentary laundry service (great when travelling with teenagers) and a filled mini bar. Key for the safe and towels come... More

Just remembered I never wrote a comment after our experience at Tropical beach to warn others. We arrived late evening with a toddler of 2. We booked and reconfirmed room at ground floor. Apparently they over booked and wanted to put us in a room for one night and then we had to move. Or just stay on 1st floor... More

We had a couple of extra days in Kenya after a week staying with friends and game viewing etc. Decided to do the beach. Had stayed at Hemingways a few years ago and found it expensive and not value for money. This property is not on Wamatu Beach, but on Malindi Beach, which is closer to the town. Never stayed... More

I visited Tropical Village with my boyfriend from 15th-22nd July. On arrival we were met by extremely accomodating hotel staff and a refreshing cocktail. The hotel immediately had the 'wow' factor as we were taken to our rooms. ROOMS On entering our room I was very surpised to see how spacious the rooms were - the bed was even 7... More
