It's rather difficult to describe Paradise. After all, none of us have ever been there. But if it promises to be even half as good as Alfajiri Villas, then it might be a good idea to live a saintly life from now on. This is the place of dreams. Where visionary design and art greets you around every corner. The location, overlooking and next to the Ocean is sublime and the mediterranean influenced cuisine is outstanding and beautifully presented. The wine list is both extensive and well chosen and if that's not enough, you're attended by staff who cater for your every whim with style and discretion. Tsuma, who looked after us during our stay, is probably one of the nicest people you could hope to meet. This can also be said of Marika, the owner, who always has time to ensure your day and meals are composed to perfection. We just spent 6 nights in the beach villa. We wish it had been 6 weeks.

This is our third time here at Alfajiri as after numerous vacations around the world we haven’t found better place for a family like ours with three young children age ranging from 14 to 8 years of age. Our children are enthusiastic every year to come back to Alfajiri because of the different activities this amazing location can offer from Scuba Diving to kite surfing, which keeps them always busy and happy. This year we had an amazing new experience where I went with my two children on quad cultural tour in the Shimba Hills, where we had a lot of fun and saw the real African life.
As for us adults, I am a businessman and I really enjoy the total privacy and a massage every day where I can regenerate from all my daily life. Here I can also combine it with my favorite sports such as my early morning jog and a round of golf in the afternoon.
Another aspect I noticed is how sustainable Alfajiri runs, they support the local people such as the fishermen as well as all the foods are a local produce; such as vegetables and fruits that are locally hand picked.
Here the food and service is outstanding, we would decide every morning our daily menu, Alfajiri accommodated all our needs as our children have different preferences from me. My children love it here. What we found very special what having our private butlers Geoffrey and Martin looking after us from early morning to late night.
The rooms are very comfortable and very clean as well as every room has a different feel to it due to its interior decor. The view from the villa and the bedrooms are incredible, as its located on a cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean. We think it priceless to be able to have such privacy and tranquility at Alfajiri, this is where I get the best sleep ever.
I can very well say this is the only place where I feel comfortable as in my own house.
This is the best vacation ever and I would recommend it to anyone

Alfajiri villas are outstanding, located in a magic spot, right on a cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean. Impeccable service, total privacy and superb cuisine with a Mediterranean influence, made our stay unforgettable. We stayed in both the Cliff and the Garden Villa for two weeks, with out two children. It has been a very relaxing holiday as all was planed and organized for us on a daily base by Fabrizio and Marika, the owners, that are always on call in case any thing is needed . Every morning we could decide our menu, rich of fresh seafood and home made pastas, menus are prepared at your discretion and meals served and at any time.

Our private butler Ephraim and his staff, has provided us with an impeccable and discreet service, our beach guide, Ali has been at disposal for our children, to keep an eye on them and to entertain them with games. Rooms are all different in each villas, and each room with a special motive and with a strong influence from India and Morocco, reflecting the personal touch of the Marika , being the mastermind behind the interior décor. The gardens, merging with the blue water of the ocean, are rich with local palms trees, frangipani and bougainvilleas. We particularly enjoyed our private pool, as children could play without being afraid of disturbing other guests

What is making Alfajiri such a special place is the fact that is managed by the two owners. Marika and Fabrizio took care of us with savoir faire and competence, they personally organized everything for us: a driver is always available at any time to drive us to the beach or shopping or to the near by Golf course, Ali our guide, who accompanied us for walks on the beach and for snorkelling at the coral reef. At the end of the busy day Marika always scheduled for us a relaxing massage on our private massage gazebo, overlooking the ocean. All included in the cost charged to us

We certainly recommend Alfajiri it’s a splendid romantic and luxurious place and perfect for families. The owners are sweet, discrete and take care of us in a unique manner.

First the positives - the pasta, pizza and fresh seafood were wonderful & the service from Joeffry & Martin was impeccable, other than that our stay was terribly disappointing.

The rooms are dated and appear dirty, (area carpets are stained and shower curtains need to be replaced as they were moldy.) The air conditioner in the main bedroom only worked 25% of the time and the toilettes didn't flush. Caution needs to taken on walkways as they are not lit at night & uneven. Beds were very uncomfortable. The grounds and gardens are not well maintained. We stayed in both the Cliff Villa and the Garden Villa and both need a major overall.

Upon our arrival from safari, we wanted to take a hot shower but the water heater was broken.

We were hoping to spend time on the beach relaxing but the beach directly outside the villa was rocky crags with no sandy area. To get to a swimmable beach we had to be chaperoned (beach boys scamming every 3 minutes) about 1 mile away. There were no chairs to sit it and it was littered with garbage. We learned that the coral reef in front of the villa is dead because the coral has been broken off by the beach boys to sell to tourists. We had hoped to snorkel but that was a day's outing requiring a drive towards Tanzania.

They advertise many inclusive services but this was also disappointing. The massage therapist answered her cell phone twice - unbelievable! My son hoped to golf with his father, but couldn't be accommodated with golf clubs. The hot tub was filthy and unusable.

While the owners were pleasant, they seemed tired and uninterested in rectifying the glitches.
