I normally loathe restrictions especially this time when we have the COVID-19 pandemic. The Maji was more like I was in my house where I did whatever I would do at home without being subjected to timings for meals. The only good thing is that it felt like I was at my house but situated in the paradise of the Diani beach. I came here to sleep and wake up late. This wasn’t a break for me to move around because I was already an exhausted person that had no interest in excursions or tours.

Thus, I got exactly what I wanted and felt better when I departed. I am grateful to the staff for their hospitality and kindness for allowing me to be myself without felling like I was an inconvenience. Zippy and Naomi was the most outstanding staff members that I felt with most of the time. Of course the birthday surprise was splendid........enjoying my birthday close toi the beach was memorable.

This January 2021 marks my second time I stayed at The Maji. The environment, hospitality and attention we found in this boutique hotel have no equal comparison so far along the Kenya coast. The staff, just to mention few: Zipporah, Eveline, Zippy, carol, Rafiki and John, have made our staying a dream during which we had forgot all the stress and daily troubles. the food is amazing and the chef is always ready to tailor any request you may have. try Linguine with crab sauce or the fresh seafood soup served in a coconut bowl! for not mentioning the fall in love cake!!!! definitely not a place where you count calories!!!! I advise anyone that wishes to stay in a very unique place to try The Maji....ahhhhh something more! no rules around breakfast or meals timing.... you can sleep as long as you wish with no hurry or stress feeling that you might skip breakfast because too late! at The Maji you have breakfast at any time of the day you like or any other meal! in addition the swimming pool is open 24/7! so get ready for a midnight swimming if you like!

Room tip: the ground floor rooms are perfect for family. You can access the swimming from your verandah as the pool surrounds the house

Amazing place ... just what we needed for our break away from everything. Very relaxing and being vegetarian the food was just amazing. The service was great as well they got us whatever we needed. The rooms are spacious, clean and very well decorated. The beach beds / day beds by the beach were the best you could just lie there all day...overall had a great holiday and would not hesitate to go back.

It’s really a boutique hotel. Beautiful interiors, friendly staff, good food, the swimming pool needs a bit of maintenance. Best sides of Diani beach. Location is very good. The beach on this side is amazing. There is nothing to complain. We will visit again.

The Maji is home away from home for us. We have been going to The Maji at least twice a year for some time now. The property is right on the beach and the beauty is that you can eat when you want and where you want.
