Meglio accordarsi prima o andare a fare la spesa con loro se si ha tempo. Una volta se ne è andata la luce ma dopo poco è ritornata, hanno attivato il gruppo elettrogeno probabilmente che faceva rumore dal mio appartamento. Dopo un' ora ha smesso. ##### MARIA GRAZIA Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Sandies Tropical Village](https://www.expedia.com/Malindi-Hotels-Sandies-Tropical-Village.h4581721.Hotel-Information) - [Jumuia Conference & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.com/Mtwapa-Hotels-Jumuia-Conference-Beach-Resort.h24044248.Hotel-Information) - [Vip Hotel Madeya](https://www.expedia.com/Siaya-Hotels-VIP-Hotel-Madeya.h44255871.Hotel-Information) - [North Coast Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Mtwapa-Hotels-Northcoast-Beach-Hotel.h29995286.Hotel-Information) - [Coral Sea Villas](https://www.expedia.com/Malindi-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Villas.h25793127.Hotel-Information) - [Ocean Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.com/Malindi-Hotels-Ocean-Beach-Resort-Spa.h4621010.Hotel-Information) - [The Lawford Kenya](https://www.expedia.com/Malindi-Hotels-The-Lawford.h37839200.Hotel-Information) - [Billionaire Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.com/Malindi-Hotels-Lion-In-The-Sun-Hotel.h5234263.Hotel-Information) - [Silver Palm Spa and Resort](https://www.expedia.com/Kilifi-Hotels-Silver-Palm-Spa-And-Resort.h20063594.Hotel-Information) - [Rusinga Island Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Rusinga-Island-Hotels-Rusinga-Island-Lodge.h12748721.Hotel-Information) - [Harbour Key Cottages](https://www.expedia.com/Malindi-Hotels-Harbour-Key-Cottages.h70409214.Hotel-Information) - [Villa 47 Vipingo Ridge](https://www.expedia.com/Vipingo-Hotels-Villa-47-Vipingo-Ridge.h64150012.Hotel-Information) - [Sun N Sand Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.com/Mtwapa-Hotels-Sun-N-Sand-Beach-Resort.h22405447.Hotel-Information) - [Kolol Riverside Resort](https://www.expedia.com/Eldoret-Hotels-Kolol-Riverside-Resort.h39024875.Hotel-Information) - [Dream of Africa Cottages Kanamai](https://www.expedia.com/Mombasa-Hotels-Dream-Of-Africa-Cottages-Kanamai.h44516072.Hotel-Information) - [Havila Resort](https://www.expedia.com/Sagana-Hotels-HAVILA-RESORT.h50723681.Hotel-Information) - [Mandharini](https://www.expedia.com/Kilifi-Hotels-Mandharini.h13131208.Hotel-Information) - [Casuarina Villas Resort](https://www.expedia.com/Malindi-Hotels-Casuarina-Villas-Resort.h39546130.Hotel-Information) - [Angel's Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.com/Malindi-Hotels-Angels-Bay-Resort.h2240539.Hotel-Information) - [Boma Inn Eldoret](https://www.expedia.com/Eldoret-Hotels-Boma-Inn-Eldoret.h13233173.Hotel-Information) - [Sandies Malindi Dream Garden](https://www.expedia.com/Malindi-Hotels-Sandies-Malindi-Dream-Garden.h23248153.Hotel-Information) - [Diamonds Dream of Africa](https://www.expedia.com/Malindi-Hotels-Diamonds-Dream-Of-Africa.h1587199.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Pikadili](https://www.expedia.com/Kendu-Bay-Hotels-Hotel-Pikadili.h34167976.Hotel-Information)
