Consider requesting a room closer to the beach for better views and a cooler breeze in the afternoon.

The hotel offers complimentary kayaks for ocean exploration.
I was disappointed by the inconsistency in power supply. There was a frustrating power cut that lasted for hours without resolution from management. The access road to the hotel is unpaved and quite challenging to navigate, adding to the travel hassle.

A tropical treat for relaxation
Our stay at Marafiki Beach Hotel & Spa was a delightful experience. The staff went above and beyond, always smiling and making sure we felt welcome. Each day featured something special, from cooking classes to jazz performances, adding a lovely touch to our vacation. The beach in front of the hotel was gorgeous, and the complimentary kayaks made exploring the calm waters even more fun. Breakfast was a highlight with fresh fruits and made-to-order options, giving us the perfect start to our days.
However, the experience wasn't entirely perfect. We encountered some issues with low water pressure in our villa's bathroom, making it a challenge to enjoy showers. Additionally, the Wi-Fi signal inside the villa was weak, which hindered our ability to stay connected. While the food was enjoyable, a wider variety of dishes would have been appreciated, particularly since some guests may find themselves craving options beyond seafood after a few days. Finally, we noticed a few more insects than expected, which could be off-putting.

Staying here was a highlight for our whole family. Our ocean view room was a beautiful retreat after spending the day with our adult kids.
In my wife’s opinion, insect control could improve.

Had an awesome time with friends! We loved the complimentary kayaks for exploring the village and the bicycles for cruising along the beach. The friendly staff made everything easier, and dining was consistently amazing. Don't miss the Swahili night with local music and dance. it's a real treat!
Our room was initially incorrect, but they sorted it out quickly. A few more fans in the restaurant would be nice, especially during busy breakfasts.

Breathtaking views from the balcony highlighted our stay, complemented by the exceptional food featuring homemade preserves and fresh local ingredients. The attentive staff created a welcoming atmosphere, making dining experiences memorable. However, we faced some challenges with inconsistent water pressure in our room and a few power outages, which were frustrating at times. The access to the beach was beautiful, yet navigating the unpaved road to the hotel could be difficult.
