"Distant relatives is the perfect place to stay in Kilifi. The whole staff is very friendly and make you feel like family. My wife and I arrived during off season, so when we showed up at 04:30 there was already a room available even though our check in was technically not until 12:00 that day. Mohammed at the bar made sure we were taken care of whenever we wanted something to eat or drink. The food and drink prices were reasonable, after 5 days we only spent around $100 USD. The pool was our favorite spot to sit and relax while reading our books. But reception was also able to help us call a Tuk Tuk into town and to the white sandy beaches and that was about $10 USD round trip. Beware of the Vervet monkeys though, they live in the trees surrounding the property and they will steal your food if you turn your eyes for even just a second! The toilets outside the Bandas are composting toilets, and that isn’t for everyone, but they do have traditional flush toilets as well near the pool area."

"Отель супер!!! Нам очень понравился! Изначально забронировали на один день. Но потом решили продлить ещё на день. Лучше покупать все включено так как отель находиться далеко от инфраструктуры. Но если вы отдыхаете кампанией или медовый месяц это замечательно подойдет. Вежливый приветливый персонал, вкусная еда, все удобства и конечно радует цена. Единственное что может не понравиться наличие горячей воды. Она теплая, днем мыться хорошо, а вот вечером прохладная."

Pro: nice environment, very friendly staff, helpful and gentle, loads of activities during your stay Con: everything is in euros and pricey (in Watamu) because most tourists are Europeans, so when I arrived and wanted to do laundry, I got shocked with the price. The bar’s prices are rather the same as in Europe too."

Comfortable, comfortable hotel in a convenient location. Near is a supermarket and a place where taxi drivers usually gather. Breakfast is very tasty, quite diverse, tea, fruit, cruissants extra to the main breakfast. The hotel is not on the first line, but you can get to the beach through another hotel. The room itself is clean, comfortable, there is everything for comfortable accommodation. On the balcony a comfortable sofa on which it is pleasant to relax in the evening, a cozy pool, excellent water pressure in the shower and a wide bed with a little solid but still comfortable mattress ..
