Great base to explore Mafia!

Wonderful, calm location with amazing sea views. Nice pool too. Ali was an exceptional host with nothing too much trouble! I loved our stay here, we used it as a base to do the whale shark snorkelling and also a day visit to the Marine N.P. visiting Chole Island. We also walked along the beach from the property to Kilendoni town and got a tuk tuk back. There are 3 villas on site and they are wonderfully authentic.

Hotel was over sold on last night of my booking

Great hotel and staff. I recommend staying here. There is a lovely view of the ocean. I booked and paid for 3 nights on Hotels.com. When I arrived at the hotel I learned from the staff that the last night was double booked by the hotel staff. The reason provided for overbooking was slow internet speeds but I received a confirmation email from the hotel the day I booked the room. I was able to find an alternative hotel on my own located in downtown. Great hotel experience except for the terrible booking experience.

Wonderfully relaxing resort

We stayed at Kileleni January 2-4. It opened 6 months before and is away from the main beaches. It also sits on the cliff. For beach goers, this may not be ideal. We loved the location because it was very chill and had everything we needed. The bungalows are spacious, clean and well appointed. The food was fresh and delicious. The service was great as well. We definitely recommend!

A lovely new place on Mafia. Small, quiet and relaxing. The staff were terrific. The food was a real highlight too! Only 3 bungalows and I gather they might add more - it’s definitely a tiny place, but for the price and location/view - plus incredible food and service - great value for money. Will be back.
