    Prices at the bar/restaurant are quite expensive but I guess thats in every hotel on the cost.

    Helpful and friendly staff, good location directly at the seaside. Nice and clean room, had everything we needed, even supply of drinking water! The yard and the beach are lovely decorated with areas to sit and chill.

    The self contained double room i used the first day was too tiny. I moved out to a king double suite which was much better and spacious.

    Proximity to the beach. The bar and other guests i met there.

    Very friendly staff, ready to help and provide advice, the rooms are nice and the whole atmosphere is very relaxed and peaceful. The rooms (at least the more economic ones), were well taken care of, they came in the afternoon set up the mosquito net and activated the repellant which was very nice. Unfortunately they were quite warm over the night despite the use of the fan provided.

    AC would be great. It was insufferably hot some nights even with the fan

    Great location for beach, relaxed vibe, friendly staff make you feel at home no matter your age, charming decor, amazing breakfast. Special shoutout to Luta at the front desk who is soooo kind and helpful, Winnie the masseuse who has « magic hands » and to all the bar staff.

    Very small double bed in the economy room. It was my mistake to not read beyond 'The room includes bath' and not see thatit was a shared bathroom. So watch out for this.

    Beautiful location with lovely bar and restaurant. Great fun being on the beach on a Sunday. Laundry service was good, even though it's not advertised.

    I struggled without AC at night, the room was quite stuffy and hot despite the fan. Also, being Kilifi and lots of beautiful greenery, you have to be comfortable sharing your room with some insect/bug friends

    The location on the beach is unbeatable. It’s a super chilled and nice place. So great to have the bar/restaurant for lunches and dinners

    The bed is tiny for one person it's okay but I would not do it with two. Staff come in your room multiple times a day. You have to like that...

    Location is very close to the beach and the included breakfast is super nice! They can send u a payment link by mail so u can pay without extra charges

    Wifi was a bit dodgy. We were trying to remote work for a bit and found it a bit challenging.

    Loved the aesthetic and the vibe, all the plants and greenery, it really felt cosy and like a home from home. The bar by the beach was fantastic as well. Also great food and the staff were super friendly. There was a mix up between a shared and private bathroom but staff were amazing and sorted this for us no issue.

    Curtains didn’t quite fully cover windows to hallway so just careful to make sure we got changed in an area that was out of view.

    Beautiful location, easy to get a tuk tuk in to town etc, nice breakfast with several options, plus they made us a takeaway breakfast when we had to leave early one morning. Fabulous bar. Very laid back place. Comfortable room. Friendly staff.

    The location is great and Sandy's has a great vibe to it. The restaurant and bar are amazing. The food there is great as well, as was the breakfast at Sandy's. The beach is perfect for walks and catching the sunrise. We got great value for our money.

    A bit pricy since it has a hostel feeling and considering it, is low season. For the same price I can have a 4-star hotel with half board in Diani.

    Breakfast is fine, beautiful place, nice wibe at the bar by the beach, especially on Fridays. Beach is fantastic.

    Loved the warmth and great customer service from the team at Saltys. I like that there's direct access to the beach 🏖️ and the restaurant and bar is well stocked. There's plenty of outdoor seating space if you don't want to stay in your room

    A beautiful place at the beach in Kilifi. Gorgeous house, amazingly decorated and with many places to relax. The garden great, with the huge tree making sure there was always enough shade. The restaurant and bar area is amazing to spend the day, the food is freshly made, with a different menu every day. Salty's is located at the beach and is of course a paradise for people coming to Kilifi for kitesurfing.
