Kijani Hotel

Kijani Hotel

📍 Ocean Front, Shela
★★★ 9.3 (52 reviews)

"Kijani is an exceptional property, and my stay was truly memorable. The rooms are clean, spacious, and well maintained. The food—thoughtfully recommended by the friendly staff—was absolutely delicious. The restaurant, with its breathtaking sea view, offers a truly unique dining experience. I would like to extend special thanks to Brian and the lady whose name I forget (Kendi, Linda?)at reception, as well as Hinzano, Istafu, and Timothy at the restaurant, for their outstanding service and excellent food recommendations. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would gladly return."

The Majlis Resort

The Majlis Resort

📍 Ras Kitau Bay - Manda Island, Shela
★★★★★ 8.8 (43 reviews)

"I had a wonderful stay at Majlis with my bestie. Majlis is a perfect blend of beauty, effortless luxury, cultural charm and exceptional customer service. The photos do it justice, but you have to be there to experience its magnificence. The atmosphere was calm, serene and relaxing making it a perfect spot to unwind; which is what we were looking for. The sunsets are gorgeous😍. The food is amazing and the portions generous. The true soul of Majlis is the staff. Their customer service is a chef's kiss to the whole experience. Heartfelt gratitude to the team that decorated our room on short notice. The personalized card was really thoughtful and sweet🥹; I appreciate it💕. Special thanks to Hamisi and Martins and the Umi restaurant team (we were always the last to leave Umi and you were always kind), Brian from Mediterranean restaurant, Alfred and Florence from Breeze restaurant (y'all had great recommendations during our dinners), Captain Baki who was our guide during Kayaking and was very patient with us, Samwel from Infinity pool who helped to take amazing photos and videos of us, Florence and Bonny from guest relations who were amazing and Wanjiru from reservations who was very helpful when I was making inquiries together with Mourine and Lawrence; they made the reservation process seamless."

Peponi Hotel

Peponi Hotel

📍 PW48+39F, Shela
★★★ 9.6 (49 reviews)

"The place and the atmosphere is amazing. Wonderful location at the beach with wonderful Village Shela just behind to go explore. But the food is disappointing. Breakfast great but rest, lunch and dinner quality has declined at lot, the now four times we have been here. Same menu for lunch and dinner and unchanged for years."

The Majlis Resort ★★★★★
"I went on a solo trip to celebrate my birthday. I really enjoyed my stay. The stuff in the entire hotel were super friendly, very respectful and ready to give assistance.Also, I really enjoyed food at the Umi restaurant… I frequently went there and was served by a waiter called Martin. He was very welcoming and warm. He made my stay much fun, plus he is very helpful in giving nice food suggestions.. I loved it all. I have no complaints about anything. I had so much fun. I’ll definitely go back to Majlis."

Peponi Hotel ★★★
"I spent 4 nights in a superior room at the Peponi. The entire experience was amazing. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. There is no AC in the rooms but the fans are strong and effective. The pool is refreshing for an afternoon dip. The food is probably the best hotel food I have ever had. The sushi, soft shell crab entree, and knickerbocker sundae are the stuff of dreams. The avocado toast on focaccia was a wonderful way to start the day. We never even considered venturing off campus for meals, it is that delicious. The Peponi Hotel is walking distance to the long stretch of Shela Beach where, and I will provide photos, we were typically the only people on it. The water was warm and there was no seaweed or sea urchins. I cannot wait to return. Special shoutout to Mustafa who made our entire stay so memorable."
