I visited The One during off season and covid mitigation rules, and due to this circunstances, I was surprisingly the only customer in the whole large resort. I got very warm welcome and free upgrade to a seafront apartment. Nothing major to complain other than the TV in the apartment did not work, neither did the wifi for some occasions. The resort location is remote from watamu bay and basic services but the hotel have good restaurant and other facilities. I managed to get a cheap uber from Malindi Airport to the Obe but to return I needed to order an expensive (3000ksh) taxi due to the remote location and lack of cars. It is possible to do kite surfing in a nearby resort. Jacaranda bay is amazing due to its gorgeous white banks that emerge in low tides.

The site is excellent. But:
- Staff very pleasant
- advertised as few slot available but number of customers never exceeded a dozen or five percent of total.
- Cost is very expensive compared to what is offered
- Acces is difficult and google direction was for another hotel
- for a full board choice of food was very limited and beverage was not included
- No snack available.
