Marula Park

"The price was great, couldn't be beat. You're right across the street from a great restaurant and a few minute walk from some good beach bars. Tuk-Tuks were easy and cheap, and could get you to the supermarket and several other restaurants in less than 5 minutes. The staff was very kind and quite helpful. The pool was nice, and it was only a short walk to the beach. The air conditioning in the bedrooms worked well. With the exception of the ants in the kitchen, it was very clean and well maintained."

"It is listed as "beachfront," and a few photos seem to show some chairs overlooking the beach, but it isn't. You have a short walk to the beach, and you can't see it from your hotel. While it is Africa, there were A LOT of ants, a few thick trails of them that were in the kitchen, and deapite the cook wiping down the table before wvery meal, a lot of them on the dining table outside. They should probably be dealt with."

"The hotel is located in a very green, private, and well-maintained area, surrounded by many trees and bushes, which creates a peaceful atmosphere. The staff are friendly, and the swimming pool is clean. The air conditioning works well, and there is also an additional fan in the living room, which was very helpful. The beach is very close and was completely empty during our stay (we visited in mid-December), which was amazing. Large grocery stores are just a couple of minutes away by tuk-tuk, which are easy to catch on the road. A unique and unforgettable experience: across the road, at a nearby bar, you can feed wild bushbabies that come every evening. It is truly something special — highly recommended."

"In one of the rooms, there were termites that disturbed our sleep at night. We eventually managed to find them all and remove them from the house. The cook tends to prepare food that is very salty. We asked several times for less salt, but unfortunately it did not improve. However, the samosas were very tasty. A monkey sometimes comes onto the property, so it is important to keep the doors closed. Other than that, it did not bother us. At the beach exit, there are beach boys and local vendors who can be quite persistent and hard to avoid. It is better not to engage with them at all, as their constant offers to sell something or take boat trips significantly affected our experience. That said, I would like to recommend Moana, a woman who sells scarves there. I ordered a dress from her using a fabric I liked, and it turned out beautifully. Overall, the hotel is great, and despite some inconveniences, I would still recommend staying here."

"We stayed at Sarabi in Marula park and it was wonderful. We were a group of 8 and had a comfortable stay. Its close to the CBD and about a 7 min walk from the beach. The staff was friendly and accommodating to our needs."

"The kitchen wasn't well stocked with some utensils. Like cooking pans and glass tumbles."

"The proximity to the road as well as to the beach was superb. The staff were also very supportive."

"Aucun."

"We had a super chef cook for us, as part of the package. We Totally relaxed. The A/C in the bedrooms is fully functional. Pool was very clean. Access to the Beach in under 5 minutes walk. Beautiful. Laundry facility was a plus. Full time guards."

"Tiny parking"

"I loved the ambiance, facilities, food, and our general stay. My nephews and nieces could not get enough of the place. It was difficult preparing them to leave. Lucy and the rest of the staff were 👌. They definitely made the stay more comfortable and enjoyable."

"The only disappointment is I thought it was an actual beachfront stay. However, the proximity to the beach was just a 5 min walk, which was worth it and didn''t take away from the exceptional stay."

"Perfect for our family of 5, very well maintained and comfortable bungalow with AC, lots of staff, including our own cook! Kids loved the pool!"

"Although close to the beach (5 min walk), the surroundings were not so nice, abandoned buildings with trash around …"

"The facility offers in-house chef, its only about 350 Meters to the Diani beach and easily accessible from the main road. Its very clean, roomy, authentic, and its close to most social amenities. The staff Celestiner, Mary, and Mwanaida were amazing. Very friendly and hospitable. It's ideal for families (offers a baby cot too)."

"The toilet flushing needs maintenance. No ironing box. There are two swimming pools at the location but they are not ideal for toddlers."

"Villa is really huge. Place is safe. Every bedroom had its own bathroom. We like dining in front of the villa. Garden and swimming pools are really amazing. You can truly relax there. Few steps to the beach. Walking distances to market and restaurants. Is an option to have your own chef who prepares food for you the way you like. Our chef was Tomas, and we strongly recommend his service."

"Maybe it needs few refreshments and some kitchen equipment should be replaced by a new one. But all its advantages made it still perfect place for holiday."

"The swimming pool was great. Children kept swimming till late at night. It was also nicely quiet and the lighting at night was amazing. The presence of a chef made life easier. Proximity to a nearby supermarket was great."

"There was parking for at most two cars. Improve this one next time in case people have more cars."
