Msafini Hotel
Off Cornishe Path, 08500 Lamu, Kenya – Great location - show map
This was a lovely hotel and we had a wonderful stay. I didn't expect the architectre would be so beautiful but then I had no idea about the architechtural style of Lamu before I arrived. We were in the luxury suite that I would say is really important. I wouldn't be able to review the other rooms, but we had the most incrediblly terrace with swinging bed, table, sofa and beautiful views. The breakfasts were good and the food of the restaurant was extremely good and it was on the roof so lovely views. It was very quiet when we were there so we sometimes had the whole roof to ourselves, like a private restaurant. The place is also situated 5 minutes from the beach. Please note that to get to the really really nice beaches you have to walk about 10-15 minutes, but there is not a hotel or café in site which is great but you should bring your own refreshments. Last thing, the staff were wonderful, so friendly and helpful and just great.
