Horrible

Scorpio used to be an incredibly gorgeous hotel. Not quite sure what happened with the new management, but our stay was a nightmare. The pools were empty, the floor and wall paint was chipped with large holes, the pool chairs were broken and it looked like nobody had swept the place in years. The place looked abandoned and should not be open for paying customers.

Friendly people at Scorpio Villas Resort

This resort hotel offered good accommodation in Malindi which itself was a relaxing and enjoyable location. I would recommend B&B. I had the buffet dinner at Scorpio on a few occasions. It represented good value for money, but was very much the same each night.

Hotel molto bello e pulito, vicino ad una bella spiaggia però abbandonata e non ripulita dalle alghe, basterebbe poco, il cibo non è vario e quando finisce finisce, considerando che la gestione è italiana , mi aspettavo di più

God service

Veldig hyggelige ansatte, både de i resepsjonen, vakter, servitører og renholdere! Fint hotell, god mat, typisk europeisk frokost med nydelige pannekaker. God middag på hotellet! Pizza på stranden, egen strand med solsenger. Ikke kjempefin badeplass da det var mye sjøgress der.
