Visiwa is absolutely amazing!! The views from the room and from the deck by the beachfront and sun beds is breath taking. The food was amazing! The staff were all so helpful! The manager upgraded me to a room with a view and I really appreciated it because I love the ocean and it calms me. Thank you all for a wonderful stay, I can't wait to return!

Superb setting with stunning communal areas adorned with beautiful scented white flower trees. The rooms were super clean and the staff were truly exceptional and a huge asset to the property. They were most attentive and remained at our disposal throughout the days and nights of our stay. Shiela, Happy,Rosemary and Gakena will live long in our memories of our stay at this oasis. The warmest of smiles and happy to help demeanour will take some beating wherever you stay in the wold. Malindi is a hidden gem and in my opinion this hotel is by far the best in the area. Be sure to try the Hob restaurant which is close by.

The facility is stunning 😍. Simple yet elegant architecture with coconut & frangipani trees dotted all over. The food was sumptuous & made to order. Above all else, the staff were amazing. From the cool welcome from Rose & Tracey to Shaaban, phillip, and the rest in the kitchen, of course Victorina, Fatma, Janet, Adam, and Ken. Bernard, though, capped it all - he's gifted in customer service. He made our stay memorable. Bravo to the team at Billionaire Resort 👏
