Kilimani Kwetu Beach Hotel

This hotel was amazing! The owner was really kind and helped us out a lot with food and offered excursions and day trips. The service and staff were amazing. I wish we stayed longer as the food was amazing and right on the beach - which was beautiful and crystal clear. I definitely recommend staying here and I would definitely definitely definitely come back :)

We booked four bungalows at Kilimani Kwetu based on reviews and the amenities/photos listed online by the hotel. I'm sorry to say that this place must have gone downhill quickly. There was only a barebones staff, the beach cafe was closed, there was no music, and internet service was almost non-existant. The food was very good, but the cook worked alone, so lunch took two hours to prepare. After that first lunch we started eating at the hotel next door where we could pay with a credit card. "Cashless payments" were promised, but not available, and the nearest ATM was in Paje, about a 45-minute walk along the beach. We also experienced a theft - the door to one of our bungalows was just pushed in, and the safe was taken along with a suitcase and valuables. The small safe was just sitting on a shelf ... only one of the four bungalows had a safe that was bolted to the wall/shelf. There is supposedly "security" at night, but no one was on site while we were away at dinner. We were already very dissatisfied with the place we chose for our three-night stay, but the theft was the final blow, and absolutely ruined our vacation.
