    The place is absolutely amazing, very clean. Stephen, Ngala and Joseph are the best. They made us feel like we were home away from home despite it being a business trip.The seafood meal chef Ngala prepared was better than any 5star restaurant we've dined at.The breakfast by the pool was great as well.

    Villa Mela in Malindi is a great and wonderful house, lovely furnished with original wood stuff, decorated with evergreen trees, plants, two swimming pools, a very nice patio. A peaceful and quiet island in Malindi.

    Everything was perfect!

    7ChristinePosted on: 5-24-2023

    The property is conveniently located, spacious and has 2 swimming pools which is great for families. the staff are very welcoming and accommodating- Steve and Ngala are excellent!

    Needs some updating and they need to limit the number of external parties accessing the villa.

    10EliasPosted on: 5-20-2023

    The staff were very polite and professional. They were there when needed and even if they weren't, they made sure we had everything we needed over night. Very impressed and will surely visit the place again. Thank yoiu Steven and Ngala.

    There was nothing to dislike. The service and the location was beyong expectation. You need to visit the place to experince it. Like said earlier, it was our first time and surely won't be the last.

    Steve and Mdala were exceptional...Rooms spackling tidy.. Always willing to help

    10IsabelPosted on: 1-7-2021

    Villa Mela, lovely house with garden, excellently located in a very quiet and wooded area, a few meters from the beach and a few minutes from Malindi by tuk tuk. Very spacious and pleasant rooms, very comfortable beds. Good breakfast. Steve, the manager, is a wonderful person always attentive and ready to help you at all times.

    They should improve the WIFI. Sometimes low signal.

    10KevinPosted on: 1-2-2021

    The facilities, clean pool, very helpful staff who are knowledgeable about the surrounding areas. We got a reliable tukutuk driver/tour guide. When you get there ask for Abadalla.Steve and team, asanteni sana tutarejea.
