The location and care of the staff . Steve ensured our stay was comfortable
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!
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.
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.
Very basic and limited in quantity , we asked for extra coffee and was not available
Indicated WiFi but WiFi not working at all
Loved just how clean the entire place was and the weather for the two days was just perfect. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Steven was just an awesome person and Wilma was a complete darling., she went out of her way to make bookings for excursions for me.....totally appreciated it.
The cleanliness of the property, the location, the big bed, the swimming pool, the hospitality of staff, the breakfast, the room is huge
Steve and Mdala were exceptional...Rooms spackling tidy.. Always willing to help
They might need to expound on breakfast menu.
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.
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.
