The owner takes great care of the place.

Lacio's place offered a remarkable experience, perfectly located by the sea. The peaceful ambiance, flawless decor, and exceptional cleanliness inspired various activities like exercising, yoga, meditation, cooking, and working, all while fostering a serene mindset over the last 12 nights. I recommend this place.

Consigliato

La posizione della stanza è fantastica direttamente vista spiaggia e mare. Un balcone dove puoi rilassarti su un comodo divano a baldacchino. Camera spaziosa con grande bagno. Frigo, microonde, piatti, bicchieri e posate. Condizionatore.

A very enjoyable and great value ocean front property!

Great location, front row with a balcony overlooking the ocean. The day bed on the balcony and the day bed inside the unit. Very responsive owner.

There was an issue with the electricity and the air conditioning, that made the nights hot and unpleasant, but it was out of the owners control. The owner offered a very late checkout on the date of departure to compensate for the issues faced.

Perfect Beach Stay

The location is perfect, it's meters away from the ocean where you can hear the waves crashing. Francis who manages the property was excellent with his communication, the owner Lucio was extremely hospitable. The housekeeper was super friendly. The decor of the interior and patio was on point to idealist setting of a beach home - modern with eclectic pieces of unusual furniture.

Loved everything about this place and will be back. The host and staff are extremely passionate about hosting guests. I wish Lucio many happy years of hosting guests in this sweet spot in Malindi

Pleasant

location right at the beach

the place was double booked - when we arrived it turned out they had allowed the previous guests to stay an extra night, which meant we had to stay in a different accommodation and move after the first night. This was not communicated to us in advance and was a disappointment.

Amazing with a tiny exception.

The facilities were exceptional, the place was just amazing. We enjoyed the place n facilities... The staff Francis n Aisha were very available, cooperative, and very helpful. You want to work with them again.

The beach is very dirty in comparison to the neighbouring hotels. Could you find a way of clearing the leaves there? We feel like cleaning would make this place more heavenly with white sandy beaches.

Fantastic.

Fantastic location and views, the property itself and its location far exceeded my expectations especially considering the cost to stay.

It would be nice to have a restaurant or at least a place to purchase drinks on site.

Relaxing, everything I wanted :D

the excellent view, super gracious host, lovely location, private access to the beach which is a stone throw away. Great bed, many chill-out options. Fridge and microwave available. I will be raving about it to friends.

A/C could be better and a kitchenette would be great.

Best Malindi Holiday Experience

I love the cleanliness, spaciousness of the room and friendliness of Lucio. Lucio was always at hand to offer any help about locations fo interest, restaurants and activities to do while we enjoyed our stay in Malindi at his White Lion residence. White Lion is a great holiday resort located right at the clean beaches of Malindi near other great hotels and a few metres from Malindi International Airport.

Value for money! Great location. Would come back again!!

Location. Location. Location. This is in a great location! Top floor of a bungalow on the beach... with the option of even an outdoor bed where you can sleep enjoying the coastal ambience (we slept on the bed on the balcony and this was the highlight of out trip!) The room is spacious and clean, the bathroom is spacious and has most things we needed, bar a few items, however the owner/staff were on hand to be able to graciously and promptly assist us with our requirements!! The location is secure with a safe setting for retiring by then pool or relaxing by the beach - lounges and guards all present.

Nothing to dislike per se. The accommodation is in an abandoned resort complex so upon arrival this may confuse/amuse some people... but once you are past the entrance you are in a secure and maintained environment with beautiful beach view. Parking is outside on the street - so there is a small stress about worrying of your car.

Superb

the location, the facilities, the possibility to sleep in a bed on the balcony, to swim in the pool until late at night

Contrary to the description, it is not a holiday home, but the upper floor of a holiday home. However, that is the only shortcoming

It was quite complicated how to find the apartament. Instructions: it's one private house called 'White Lion' which is the part of few houses called 'Happy Site', but you won't found it in Google maps. Let's search for 'Coral key' and you will find Happy Site just next to it, on the right.

The location is amazing : direct access to the ocean, close from the historical centre of Malindi ( Vaco de Ganna pillar, Portuguese chruch). Then salted water swimming pool is very nic. Bed is very comfortable and from your room you have a view other the Indian ocean...

Some coffee or tea in the room would be nice, some water as well.

The view from our room was insane. Definitely a fantastic location. Right on the beach. The owner is really friendly and helpful too.

It’s called the Happy Site not White Lion so arrival was confusing. There’s no reception so make sure someone is there to meet you. Also it’s definitely self catering so make sure you take your own toilet roll, etc.

The closeness to the ocean and the big rooms. The sea view and the pool were fantastic. The people were very friendly.

There is no restaurant within the resort. Also, the room was a bit dusty when we arrived.
