I happened to stay over the Easter weekend this year... The location is Excellent! The ambiance has to be worked on (as a lot of barren spots) and low foliage around. Gave Kalu (the GM), a good tip (which to my surprise, he implemented the very next day)! Staff was very friendly and well aware of your very purpose at the property. I stayed in the new rooms (by the SPA block) but the room layout was pretty spacious and empty! They could do with some decent abstract paintings hanging on walls and not very expensive foot mats (sisal woven type). I love the fact that they had a large balcony with Lamu daybeds and a lazy seating (to sit at peace and connect with nature)! They had SIX small sized pools outside each section of blocks. Th e highlight of my holiday was the food. It was BEYOND my expectation! I have been to many hotels countrywide and have yet to tase a cuisine as yummmie as at this property. Kilili is blessed to have Salim and his brother (as culinary and pastry chefs)! They changed one entire meal for me (one of the days), and needless to say...it was exceptionally tasty. Love the fact that both brothers are open to challenges and their ultimate goal was to satisfy every guest. I was literally pampered by the staff and chefs daily-hot mahamri with chai in the morning (served by the beach), random food sampling coming at regular intervals (even though I was on Half Board), for my tasting and approval! The building itself is a little dated (perhaps because it was closed for over 2years), but they were working towards giving it a facelift (on a section by section basis) this month and as such, I would strongly recommend this hotel to all.
