The Majlis Resort

"Friends! If you are looking for a place to unwind, unplug, reset, make memories, heal, remember yourself, some sprinkling of all the above, I cannot recommend The Majlis Resort emphatically enough. Three generations of my family found a home here for a few nights and we couldn’t have had a better time if we tried. From the rooms, to the compound, to the amenities and activity offerings, everything was immaculately maintained, well-equipped and tastefully designed. And we ate like royalty! Most importantly, everyone was so pleasant, thoughtful and professional and met us with smiles and a gentle greeting or offer of help. I had such a serenely wonderful stay. Thank you Majlis!"

Peponi Hotel

"The Peponi is a family run hotel in Shella, close to Lamu Old Town, and I understand it is the second oldest hotel on Lamu Island. It combines plenty of old time charm with modern amenities. Transportation from the airport is by boat and is organized by the hotel. Rooms are individualized so that few rooms are alike. The hotel is located right on the shore with easy beach access. The hotel swimming pool is nice,and it is easy to combine staying in the pool area and going to the beach for a swim in the Indian Ocean. The hotel organizes several excursions. In addition to the unmissable Lamu Old Town, we also enjoyed an excursion to the mangroves and the Takwa ruins on Manda Island, which can be reached at high tide only. The hotel restaurant is excellent with a wide choice of fish and seafood but also meat. It is worth a separate review. The hotel is located close to the edge of Shella town, and it is therefore ideally located not only for swimming but also for long walks on the 12 kilometer pristine beach, which is particularly charming in the early morning and late afternoon. The hotel staff is very friendly and service oriented and will contribute to making your stay memorable. The co-owner, whose grandfather founded the hotel before her mother took it over, is very pleasant and service oriented. If we make it back to Lamu, the Peponi is definitely we will stay again.
