The hotel was lovely especially as it was right on the beach. The room was a good size with a very large four poster bed. and the food (and presentation of it) was excellent with plenty of choice. Would definitely recommend.

The resort was broadly as advertised. We had a restful family holiday , shame I was only here for 4 nights . All inclusive was good value for money. I enjoyed the beach area and spent most of my holiday there. There are several pools suited to kids and adults . I think the staff made all the difference from me starting from Kevin who checked us in. Staff in the restaurants were great, and looked after us. I enjoyed the traditional Kenyan food. Rooms generally tidy and well serviced. I noted that some parts of the hotel were under refurb, so good times ahead .

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!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We were checked into a room where the AC and fridge were not working. We were moved to another room but the staff only cleaned the room 2 times during our visit and we had to request it to be done. After cleaning we were missing items to include a set of car keys that will require a reprogram of the vehicle. EXPENSIVE!!! The beds are hard as a rock and there are no blankets! The food was good but you can’t even swim in the ocean and the staff had zero sense of urgency to do anything.

Sandies is showing its age. Needs a full facelift more than a lick of paint. Buffet food was rather like school dinners. Moved to Dreams Garden after one night which was much better

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!!

A decent way place but much has left to slowly deteriorate in the rooms. Bathrooms need to be refinished. They don’t have enough towels in the property for the pool and your room. You are always waiting for new towels to be made available. A waste of time. Consider bringing your own.

I really enjoyed staying at the Sandies Tropical Village. Very relaxing atmosphere, I loved the terrace with a nice and comfy couch where I spent much time reading. Amazing beach party on the New Year eve. Everyone was very friendly and accommodative. I will definitely come back again.
