Kijani Hotel
9.3 (52 reviews)

Kijani Hotel ★★★

📍 Ocean Front, Shela

"The room was a 5 star accommodation. There were three of us, the floor was divided into two sections, the master bedroom was off in a down stairs with a queen bed and mosquito netting resembling a princess suite, off from the bed was a veranda that over looked the bay. There were the view was a scenic fishing village, absolutely stunning! The upper room was divided by a foyer the looked out over the pool and beautiful crafted landscape. The bathroom was something out of a spa where the shower did not require a curtain or separate entrance. The upper room was spacious with windows all around. With a gentle bellowing breeze. Restaurant was quaint and served the most delicious food. The waiter recommended our meals each night and we were never disappointed. Absolutely delicious food and service."

Kijani Hotel ★★★
"The hotel is old but kept very clean. It could use a bit of a facelift but they've kept the standards ok. The team was so good towards us, the manager is excellent too. Breakfast was underwhelming except for the very tasty fruits. The garden was a highlight especially with the tortoise ..."

Peponi Hotel ★★★
"I decided to join my husband on a week’s salt water fly fishing expedition, except I cannot fly fish. So I indulged in a week long culinary experience literally trying every fish dish on a rather extensive menu. Chef Ray is amazing! The food is world class and to think that all supplies are bussed in or flown in with a short water transfer to the hotel. The hotel is perfectly situated on the beach and has very comfortable rooms with WiFi. The pool area is just beautiful and one can easily spend all day in the water admiring the view. A subset cruise in a traditional dhow is a must as is a massage with Mercy - the best I have ever had! Proprietor Carol is a fountain of local knowledge and so accommodating. The staff are attentive and the cocktails kept on flowing! I am about to enjoy my last pot of Kenya Gold tea on my veranda….. and hope to be back next year!"
