Extremely good and efficient booking through email. Upon arrival, the check in was swift and easy. The apartment was beautiful, beyond our expectation. Everything was working well, the amazing showers, hot water, jacuzzi, fridge amenities, air conditioning. The hotel met all our needs with a variety of swimming pools, great food and beverages, fitness studio and beach. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to be back.

Wonderful vacation, the staff here have been extremely welcoming and obliging. We spent our lunchtimes at the Ngalawa Beach Bar where Risper Wanjiku was an absolute treasure. She got to know our needs and consistently cared for us and our children - no request was too small! Thank you very much Risper and the rest of the fantastic team.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Medina Palms for our wedding anniversary trip. We went with our two-year-old and it was perfect for a family trip. The staff were really kind, especially Rama by the beach who made sure we had the perfect beds overlooking the ocean where our toddler could play all day long. He brought him extra sand toys and really looked out for him which we appreciated. Because it was low season and it was our anniversary the hotel was able to upgrade us to a penthouse which was so kind of them. The penthouses are so beautiful with two bedrooms, a fully functional kitchen, two dining areas, an upstairs living room and plunge pool. We were spoilt in terms of space. The decor is lovely and has a real coastal feel. There are three pools to choose from all connected by longer smaller 'pools' which are shallow hence great for kids to splash about in. The food was great and the location directly on the beach was really nice. July is seaweed season which meant there was A LOT of seaweed on the beach/ in the ocean...but it didn't bother us much. There were just some minor maintenance issues like the safe and phone not working in our room but was we were only there for 3 nights we were not bothered. Would definitely recommend this lovely place!

Really great hotel and property. Wonderful staff they really go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Good food and service. I wish they would propose more activities - water activities and other fun activities for families, but other than that everything else was top notch. A bit of a wait for dinner to be prepared though.
