We stayed at Coral Key Beach Resort Malindi for 12 days and it was amazing experience. Equipment was not the newest however the atmosphere was magical, friendly, safe and enjoyable. Our room was very clean and every day we found nice surprice on the bed in form of red hibiscus flowers. Beach boys were lovely funny and they took care... More

I have stayed at the Coral Key twice. During my first stay a few year ago, I was part of a big group attending a workshop and we stayed across the road from the reception. This time I was assigned a room very near the main dining room. Being low tourism season, it seems like many parts of the massive... More

I had the worst treatment in this resort. I am a local here and run a restaurant. My italian boyfriend came and to visit me and decided to stay in an apartment owned by his friend. On that evening of 14th, I went to pick up my gifts from the apartment and the manager and the guard literally dragged me... More

Nice reception from the staff. The room was too big for me and very clean and neat. The buffet for dinner and breakfast was great and i gained lots of weight because it was so delicious and couldnt stop eating. I made good friends but all of them Italians, but i still did feel i was still in Kenya..... Only... More

My husband and I came to Malindi in October after a few days on Safari for some rest and relaxation,,I must say we got that and more on our stay.. The staff is so nice and helpful. Mercy at the front desk is a joy. It's a large resort, Italian run, right on the beach. Many pools including an Olympic... More

We have travelled a lot around the world and stayed in many resorts and this was not the best one, but also not the worst. The staff (especially the bar-waiters and gardeners) were very nice and friendly, the location of the resort was lovely and seven pool-areas were also ok. Our villa was clean and big, but the kitchen was... More

The hotel is perfectly located on the beach front. You can laze around all day long by the swimming pool watching the sea go and come back. Staff are friendly and mostly eager to help. Of particular mention was Philip (Pippo) at the reception desk. Thanks for your assistance. The rooms are basic, perfectly suited for people who are out... More

There is no service provided.....you want a drink at the bar, you must get up and order it at the bar (all-inclusive section). If you go to the paying bar, then you can get service however it is not included in the "all-inclusive" package! The rooms are very basic. We had a villa and the kitchen on the first floor... More

We started our Christmas holiday trip at the Tsavo where we stayed at the lovely Severin Kitani Lodge where we were treated like lords the entire time there. We left Tsavo for a three day holiday to Coral Key (under RCI arrangement) for a 1 week holiday that unfortunately we hoped would end as soon as it began. On arrival... More

Coral Key is a big resort and the layout is awesome. Location - Coral Key is located very centrally. It is on the beach, close to town center, close to Vasco de Gama and other historical sites, and it is also close to the various restaurants in Malindi. The easiest methods of transport are the tuk-tuks or motorbikes. Of course,... More
