The cottages were very private, in a great location and well equipped. The pool was lovely and access to the beach was very easy. Our 2 bed cottage had a lovely little kitchen which we used a lot. But we also used the restauraunt which was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially our Dada, Hariette. We have already recommended it to friends.

    Patrick is a great host. He answered my text messages quickly and let us check in early. The room is a new, very clean apartment with a comfortable bed and hot shower. It also has a well stocked kitchen. It is excellent value for money, and I will stay here again if I'm back in Malindi.

    The breakfast, the pool, the security, the compound is beautiful and very close proximity to the beach and restaurants and attractions....Bernard is a great host, Magu-Gandhi made sure our room looked perfect everyday bringing us fresh towels and clean sheets..... Daniel was only 1 of the security team but always greeted us with a warm and courteous smile...our request to check in early because we were arriving at 5am was also a big plus after 18hrs of travel, the entire Beverly team was magnificent! Definitely will return!
