Sandies Tropical Village

Sandies Village is crying out for renovations, especially the bathroom of the villa and the main pool. The hotel is more a 3 stars hotel . But the staff is amazing! Lucy the massage therapist is professional and kind. For the entertainment team Pauline was fun, respectful and wonderful with kids. At the restaurant we enjoyed flavorful meals. George one of the servers went over my expectations helping me to order a pizza for my son . Also the trainers Brown and Peace always served us with big smiles. We had a good time!

Check in & check out was a painful long experience. They didn’t have enough towels for our rooms and they said they had an issue at the laundry. English food and inland foods were major. I think at the coast of Malindi there should be more focus on traditional Swahili foods like pilau wali wa mnazi and other awesome delicacies from that region that are in line with their Swahili themed rooms and cottages. I did like the pool. It’s deep enough for advanced swimmers but also shallow enough for children and games. We had stuff encouraging us to join group activities which I think is a great initiative. Generally enjoyed the hospitality and I thought everyone was very kind, friendly and respectful. Be aware of the local touts selling your packages at the beach. Wouldn’t recommend and doesn’t seem safe. Arrange your tours from the hotel or travel apps!!

Stay was ok. But not child friendly especially if u have young kids.
