Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Suitable for families, couples or groups. Everyone will enjoy The Driftwood for its barefoot, relaxed, ‘family home’ style.We also host a large number of wedding ceremonies.The Kenyan coast is a lush diversity of various environments. The marine life in the parks is absolutely stunning and only getting better and better since the law was implemented to protect from over-fishing. The edges of the beach are lined with palm trees that sway gently in the wind. Further inland there are the lush tropical forests that house hundreds of species of bird life and animal life. The most famous of these is the Sokoke forest which is half an hours’ drive from The Driftwood. ... more less

“Informality at its Best”

Reviewed 30 April 2013

I have just spent yet another couple of amazing weeks at the Driftwood with my cousin from Australia and we are still both suffering from the most terrible withdrawal symptoms. The Driftwood remains one of the very best hotels in Malindi, managed by the incomparable Roger Sylvester and his excellent team. From waking up to a magnificent sunrise to dining... More

“The Peponi of Malindi”

Reviewed 24 April 2013

I'm writing about the restaurant here, but I can only find the resort in Trip Advisor. The whole place is very pleasant and ideally located on the beach. The whole thing is very much in the vein of the Peponi on Lamu -- high quality decor, well trained staff, very good bar and selection of drinks, and a good selection... More

Had a recent two night stay whilst carrying out an exploration scout in the Tana River region. The overall experience was fantastic.

“Just Fantastic!”

Reviewed 24 February 2013 via mobile

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Driftwood for 2.5 weeks from the end of January to mid February this year. We couldn't be happier with our first experience to Malindi! Roger took the time to help us organise day trips to Malindi, Gedi, Watamu, Che Shale, and also recommended a great safari company to take us to Tsavo East... More

“Great fun!”

Reviewed 25 January 2013

We stayed for 10 days over New Year and had a wonderful time! Roger runs this small hotel like a house party where everyone is welcome! I agree with a previous reviewer, the live music on New Years Day was terrific and had us all dancing in the bar. The staff are excellent whether coping with many requests at the... More

“Dinner only”

Reviewed 24 January 2013

We didn't stay here, only came for supper and it was a glimpse into another world. Nothing that amazing but is lovely and has a great atmosphere. Food was pretty good but the setting, right on the beach and the Old School feel of the place is worth the trip. I dread to think how much G&T is guzzled here... More
