Täysin epäonnistunut majoitus, joka ei toteutunut ollenkaan, koska majoituspaikka ei ollut valmiina.
Hotelli ei ollut valmiina meitä varten ja siellä ei ollut henkilökuntaa paikalla, joten emme koskaan päässeet sisään.
Hotelli ei ollut toiminnassa, eikä valmiina meitä varten. Odotimme pitkään portilla ja kesti kauan…

Totul a fost perfect! Cladirea, gradina, cafeaua, fructele, etc.

A great escape to paradise where luxury, culture and comfort meet.
I loved the meals, the chef was exceptional. The villa is also very beautiful, there's art at every space which is very cool. The staff were lovely and very kind.

Does The Villa Mela, Malindi have wheelchair accessible rooms?

Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
