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.
Love this hotel! Paradise! Huge pool, amazing room, private beach! 2 fantastic restaurants including famous Lichthaus. Staff is very kind. Great reservations manager Eunice.

Tutto sommato la struttura non è male, molto bella la piscina e anche la spiaggia attrezzata, c’è un campo da beach volley…anche la posizione è ottima. Da mangiare è ok… anche se c’è da rivedere qualcosa sopratutto nel variare i cibi e nel mettere frutta a disposizione… il personale è molto gentile. L’unica pecca è l’organizzazione per l’intrattenimento degli ospiti.. animazione quasi inesistente essendo un resort!

AAnonymous UserPros:
Beautiful hotel built with it's locality at heart. The Swahili architecture in the rooms especially is top notch. Big, clean rooms with views and balcony. Great staff, Amisi at reception and George at the restaurant were exceptional. Kilifi itself is beautiful so would visit again.
P/s - if you can, please visit the spa!
Cons:
Food was average (buffet dinner and breakfast). These have great room for improvement.

GGuest UserThis hotel is a resort hotel. The swimming pool, restaurant and beach are very clean. However, the hotel rooms are older and the bathroom equipment is old. The check-in and check-out times take a long time. Everything else is fine.
