Fodor's Expert Review Sandies Tropical Village

This extensive seafront resort, three kilometers from Malindi, has spacious thatched or beamed rooms and suites, all of which have sizeable verandas opening onto lush gardens. A range of activities are on offer, including a number of watersports, and there's a kids' club, disco, large pool, and two comfortable TV areas. Other facilities, including a gym and spa, are available (for a fee) at Diamonds Dream of Africa, the five-star resort next door.
