My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon and we were very happy we did. We loved the fact that it was off the main drag because it was quiet!! There is a free shuttle into town or to the beach, but we were not inconvenienced at all by the set times- if you want to go at other... More

Mwembe resort is a good place located at a distance of about 0.8 km from the main road. One major dissapointment is that it is located far away from the beach. The fridges in the rooms are too small and there is also a lack of fundamental kitchen appliances eg sandwich maker,toaster,blender.etc. The kitchen is too small and the living... More

Our first trip to Africa was spent at the Mwembe Resort in Malindi, Kenya. We loved this resort! The atmosphere was relaxing as it was beautiful. Our villa was always clean with fresh flowers placed either on our bed, the table or near the TV almost daily. Although it is not on the beach, shuttle services was provided which gave... More

I spent a week at Mwembe as a trade through RCI. I was very satisfied overall. The plusses are: a beautiful setting amongst mango trees, cottage was clean and comfortable. The minuses are: taxi or tuktuk were best way to get to town, the resort shuttle didn't run in the evening, and the beaches were a shuttle-ride away. Don't plan... More

We have stayed at Mwembe twice, using it as a base for a Masai Mara safari. It is a great place with lovely staff. It has a heavily Italian feel to it, as has much of Mwembe. The restuarant, Lorenzo's is first class, with high quality food at a reasonable price. The pool is fantastic, clean, quiet, idyllic. The appartments... More
