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

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

Came to join a group of about twenty celebrating 70th birthday party. Driftwood put on amazing dinner for the group with disco & great food. Stay was amazing & Roger the owner/manager was amazing host as always. Would not hesitate to recommend Driftwood Club as amazing good value accommodation

Had a recent two night stay whilst carrying out an exploration scout in the Tana River region. The overall experience was fantastic. Our multinational team ( six persons) was met and welcomed by the Owner / Manager Roger Sylvester. Our beachside cottages were air-conditioned, clean and extremely comfortable. Beds were enclosed in extremely well performing mosquito netting and I escaped... More

Our 3 night stay exceeded expectations. Simple but delightful seaview cottage with all necessary mod cons including air conditioning and mosquito net (not needed). Beautiful setting. Good food, pool and friendly service. Very good value. Within walking distance of lively Malindi town.

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

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

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
