The Majlis Resort

The best thing about this place is the furniture and architecture resembling the old Arabic style that existed in this religion long ago. The food was terrible, marketing that they have different restaurants is laughable as they all have the same menu. The bread was always stale, burger was probably one of the worst I have had in a while. The staff was horribly trained. Took 20 mins to order water, some of the staff are quite rude (although most of the staff were kind and helpful—shoutout Mike for the bike ride. The bartenders were never attentive and when sat down at the restaurant they would avoid eye contact until we had to go up as ask what the deal was. I ordered a drink to the pool, and after an hour of waiting, I asked one of the waiters where it was, and they had forgotten. Despite the intense heat, not once did anyone ask us if we wanted water—had to ask ourselves, which sounds pretentious but this was marketed as a 5 star, so that is the bare minimum. At dinner, they moved us twice from our table to a table right next to the grill which smelled of smoke, saying there was another family that had booked the table we were originally sitting at (even though the receptionist said at the beginning that you do not need to book for any of the restaurants, which turned out to be false). Lo and behold, nobody ended up sitting at that table so we were moved for no reason. There were people smoking in the restaurant on New Year’s Eve, who were also quite rude and disrespectful of their surroundings. Probably friends or family of the owners, who I’ve heard from other reviews are horrible and racist people. Again, beautiful hotel, but I am never coming back.

A hidden gem in lamu County ...I would recommend the majlis paradise to all my friends..Good food, friendly and attentive waiters good service from waiter kariuki at Mediterranean restaurant kudos guys will be back soon...The rooms and room services were also 👌 nice

The service was absolutely great! They had just launched a new menu as well at the Mediterranean restaurant and the food was very flavourful! The infinity pool was a key highlight, great place to relax and enjoy a dip with a view of the sunset! Definitely going back!

We came here for the day to spend time on the beach. It was fantastic. The sand, vistas and general vibe of the place is superb. A special mention goes to Frederick, the charming gentleman/ pool and beach assistant. He had helped us the day prior to secure the chairs and was delightful during our time spent there. Our only regret was tipping him incorrectly due to our miscalculation of the exchange rate. You won’t be disappointed if you come here, can highly recommend.
