Independent Manda Island hotels

"What a gem of a boutique hotel. Quiet &safe. My top floor, seaview room had 2 balconies was very large & had a 4 poster mosquito netted king size bed. I left my balcony doors open at night. Only heard one mosquito. Giant walk in shower with benches in the bathroom, and an on sute masseuse. Staff was so nice. They recommended a wonderful tour guide, Abu Said who was very informative. As a very mature solo woman traveler, I felt very safe in this hotel & recommend it highly. "

"The location is great. But the property owner wasn't honoring expedia booking . Since it was late (5:30pm) , he allowed me to stay one night but next day I had to check out. Overpriced for the quality or upkeep of the lace. It is great for people looking for unconventional family owned traditional set up but a non for business travellers. Only one electrical point for charging in one room was another turndown "

"Well located at Shella. Five star service .a good blend of traditional and modern architecture "

"Dream location with excellent & friendly service. The quality of the food is one of the best I had in Kenya. The views and facilities are top level. Definitely will be back with family & friends."

"The property was unique in providing a combination of features, especially to meet your requests, such as arranging a dhow ride for one person. "
