Very clean and spacious and comfortable rooms. Beautifully decorated. The location is awesome. The hotel garden behind the pool with direction to the beach was beautiful and romantic. It's a perfect place for couples to chill and to have a lovely time. It's a place made in paradise. The beach and the nature scenery at this place is awesome and it feels like in paradise. The hotel owners and staff are very kind and helpful. The hotel restaurant is top of the notch too. I fully can recommend this beautiful place. The hotel restaurant make one of the best pizzas I ever have eaten in Kenya.

The staff: Peter, Gideon, Juma and Patrick at reception were courteous, fulfilled all our wishes and communicated very well with the relevant departments. We immediately felt at home. As I am vegan, it is a bit difficult for me here in Kenya to always choose something from the menu. The waiter Dena was very courteous, understanding, helpful and very knowledgeable. He went through the menu with me every day and always gave me very good advice so that the chef could cook it. Employees like him should be encouraged and appreciated more. Waiter Robert always gave us something to laugh about at the bar and the drinks were very good. No headaches the next day, he was a pleasure to work with. Many thanks to Sofia from the breakfast service, she always had a smile on her face and sweetened our day so we could start the day well. Margaret's pancakes are a must at Medina Palms, they are delicious. Mercy, our housekeeping queen. She wowed us every day with new room decorations Always very lovingly done now I can say I have always slept on cloud nine at Medina Palms. Thank you, Queen Mercy. An appeal to the management of Medina Palms staff to show more encouragement and appreciation the facilities and location are not worth 5 stars for me. The heart of Medina Palms is the staff. Thank you so much to All. Dr.Christine A
