rooms clean but aircondition did not cool the room 207 , AC unit not strong and placed in the wrong spot. .. shower water did not drain caused a puddle as the leveling not done well. feet in the puddle. staff friendly but seemed like management cutting back on staffing and did not adjust to the event in Malindi. There is so much a human can do. Staff will be able to perform best if the Management provides the tools. Breakfast very good. But it was a shame to serve instant coffee and tea in KENYA which is famous for its coffee and Tea all over the world. Kenyan coffee brewed MUST be serve to show and promote Kenyan coffee . Grass and lawn needed grooming , cleaning etc

We stayed five nights with three persons in the Simba Jike villa at the Lawford’s and it was wonderful. The pictures we found online didn’t do the villa justice. You can expect a huge 3 storey villa with two bedrooms and bathrooms, a comfy huge living area and several chill-out lounge spots at the piece. A huge kitchen and fridge. Daily cleaning will be done and your will get mosquito repellent daily as well, we loved the space, tranquility and luxury. We also enjoyed the poolside as well as the neighbouring beachclub Lost a lot. It really felt like a home away from home, asante sana everyone at Lawford’s

The Lawford was a lovely place to stay in Malindi. The 3 bedroom villa and private pool were amazing. Large upstairs and downstairs lounge areas. Lots of space for everyone. There was a full kitchen with all the pots, pans, utensils etc. Service was great. Staff were delightful. Had fun with pool and table tennis. We would live there, if we could! Our neighbors were a bit loud but management tried to help with the situation. The beach is close but the water was brown and not “inviting.” There is a river just north that drains into the ocean right above the property. We would definitely visit again!
