I already wrote a review on Kilindi in 2011 and since then I came back several times in 2011 and 2012 (last time in August). Every time, it was fantastic. I think it is truly hard to find a better place and a better service on earth. Needless to say, it is definitely my favorite hotel. I have now staid... More

We stayed in this stunning property for few days and enjoyed every minute spent there. Pavilions are set far from each other , so guests have their privacy . It also was the first time I have stayed in property with 2 private pools. Our butler was more than happy to satisfy all our needs. Maike , Duncan and all... More

Recently returned from week at Kilindi in March and had a wonderful time. Great spot to relax after a safari. It takes about 1 hr by car from the airport to reach the resort which is on the northern end of the island. Overall the resort was well maintained with beautiful villas set in a lush tropical setting. Most of... More

Above all this property will provide you with a truly relaxing experience in attractive surroundings. We stayed for a week in November 2012. We wanted to love the hotel more than we ultimately did, but in order to be fair, we should mention that we came to Kilindi after having had the most wonderful time at Beho Beho in the... More

We Stayed 5 nights at Kilindi and I must say it was magnificent. It's more for couples so if your thinking about going in a larger group I would think again. My only complaint would have to be the weather it was way too hot in January. I'm used to humidity but this was humid and intense sun, we were... More

Wow sums Kilindi up, but for some more comments then I would have to add that this is the place to go and totally unwind. Firstly it is too hot and humid to do much else and the service is fanatastic. We had our own walled and totally private villa complex comprising of 3 pavillions. One has the bedroom, one... More

Magnificent lodge, the rooms are really spacious. In fact, you don't even have to leave your room : you can swim, tan, eat, relax, there. The butler will bring to you everything you want. More for couples than friends, cause the shower is outside and open. But for a couple it is really romantic.

The villas are very spacious (but starting to look a little bit old) and ours had great views of the beach. Our butler, Mary, was absolutely wonderful and the girls at the spa were really lovely. The resort is in a private setting. We did a fishing charter and went past other beaches with rows upon rows of hotels and... More

We had a nice trip to Kilindi but I wouldn't say phenomenal. The hotel is in great condition and the villas are wonderful. They are quite private and set apart from one another. Though oddly from our shower we could see the neighbor's pool and vice versa. We were shocked that we would have been the first ones to notice... More

We had the most wonderful stay at Kilindi following a 7 day safari. We arrived late and exhausted and were warmly greeted by the manager and our butler (Mahanyu), who provided us with late night snack before we turned in. This place is truly beautiful, the villa was breathtaking and the views were simply magnificent! Our biggest decision every day... More
