The Majlis Resort boasts beautiful interiors, spacious rooms, and a lovely pool and beach, creating an idyllic setting for relaxation. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, with slow service and bland food consistently disappointing. Management seems to lack the necessary oversight, which tarnished an otherwise promising resort. I’m uncertain about a return unless significant improvements are made.

I had an extraordinary experience at the hotel, with beautiful decor and stunning views, particularly from the upper-level rooms. The staff was incredibly accommodating and attentive, making us feel welcomed throughout our stay. Dining was initially hit or miss, but after communicating with the staff, the food improved significantly and was absolutely delightful. The only downside was some occasional slowness in service, but it didn’t detract from the overall enjoyment. Definitely a place I would revisit for a relaxed getaway!

My stay at The Majlis Resort was a beautiful mixture of stunning views and memorable experiences, though it wasn't without its drawbacks. The spacious room with an amazing ocean view was a highlight, along with the exceptional hospitality from the staff. However, the overall service experience was hampered by some inconsistencies that were concerning, especially given the price point. I'd recommend it for its picturesque location and relaxing atmosphere, but be prepared for some service hiccups.

I had a truly special time at the Majlis Resort, which offered a perfect blend of relaxation and luxury. The pools were stunning and well-maintained, providing a fantastic space to unwind. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was memorable, but my room had a few pesky ants that detracted from the overall experience. Dining poolside was delightful with some delicious dishes, but there were moments of delayed service during peak times. Overall, this resort is a gem in Lamu worth visiting.
