The hotel is about 2.5hrs drive from Mombasa Airport. The rooms are very spacious. The double bed is quite big and a mosquito net is provided. The minibar (with soft drinks) is refilled twice a day. Food is excellent. For lunch you choose from the menu (soup, pasta, main course) plus salad and dessert buffet. For dinner it is either... More

We had one night here in transit, booked by internet. The room was beautiful, delicately arranged bouganvillea flowers everywehere including the loo! Our "junior suite" was a suite indeed, balcony/lounger; big room, sitting area,. bathroom, jacuzzi. The only disappointment was the volume of water in the shower - perhaps due to the end of the dry season. All main drinks... More

In the first place we booked the hotel Malindi Beach because we wanted to see the staff again. When we arrived we find out that Mozes, Timothy, Josephat, Mary and many others moved to the Dream of Africa. Thanks to Madam Daniela, the resort manager who made it possible to move in to this wonderful hotel. The rooms are nice,... More

Having just returned from the most fantastic holiday I feel the need to share the experience. My husband and I have been returning to this hotel for many years, and just when you think it could not get any better, the magic goes on and on. From the moment we arrived the management Bruno and Daniela, and their wonderful staff... More

We booked Dream of Africa as it was just about the smallest hotel we could find offered by our tour operator on the Kenyan coast and seemed to fit our requirements - beach, good food and service, high standard of accommodation and peace and tranquility. We would endorse all the positive comments made by other reviewers - in particular the... More

Having previously visited Kenya on Safari, we were thoroughly looking forward to our holiday on the Kenyan coast. We chose this hotel based on Tripadvisor reviews, and the fact that this was a small hotel, which we hoped would offer a more personal service. Travelling with Kuoni, we flew into Mombasa via Nairobi, and then transferred to Malindi by private... More

On the plus side, the rooms are very spacious, no problems with the air con or water temperature when we stayed either. Food was plentiful and well presented and the staff were lovely, though it gets a bit trying when the fifth or sixth person asks if everything is all right with your meal, but I suppose its better that...

What a great place. Very relaxing, and very different. The hotel managers accommodated us whenever they could, and the staff is outstanding. The wait staff manager Dolla is cool, Mary the receptionist was SUPER nice, the little Thai masseuse Aoh is great, and the tour leader Alia was outstanding. A very nice woman indeed. (this woman needs a raise) Though,... More

Stayed here with my Wife for two weeks in July 2009 and had a brilliant holiday. The hotel is in a lovely setting with a nice private beach. The rooms are huge and decorated/ furnished to a excellent standard. The food on offer is also excellent for an all inclusive resort. I really don't understand the comments about flies etc.... More
