Pros:

Hotel managed to re arrange our airport pickup when we got an earlier flight with no hassle.
Alan the taxi guy was lovely.
Reception and room porter were very friendly.
Lovely room and thanks to John our room cleaner.
Good choice of food. Cocktails were way too strong.
Service at bars and restaurants was a bit slow.
Gardeners and security staff were great.
Need more waiters serving drinks round the pool.
Rooms need a pull out clothes dryer on the balconies and milk sachets for the coffee.
We loved our stay here

Pros:

This all inclusive resort provided all the amenities to relax after our safari and more! Highly rated cleanliness, beautifully decorated, offering multiple activities for adults & children it also maintained our safety within its gated walls. Though we walked few streets during the day without any incident. Street vendors promote their businesses but no issues.

Pros:

We have previously stayed at Baobab and Blue Marlin an this place is by far the best. Service is excellent and staff is very polite and friendly. The place is perfectly situated in Diani with supermarket and other stores within reach. The next door restaurant Asha is also fantastic.

Pros:

I stayed here for two nights as part of a tour through Kenya. I was welcomed at the reception with a lovely welcome drink on check-in.
All the staff were incredibly welcoming, helpful and attentive. As a solo black female traveller, I wasn't sure what to expect but I was treated very well by all!
The resort itself is stunning with lovely grounds. The gardens are well kept and you may see the odd monkey lurking about.
I had half board for my stay. There was an incredible food selection for both breakfast and dinner. The chef made special gluten free food for both as well.
I had a sea facing room. The room was beautiful but the decor is a little dated / tired. There is a kettle in the room with free tea bags and coffee.

Pros:

Great, budget-friendly, and beautiful resort with direct beach access and security guards. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe there. The meat choices at the buffet were limited, but I noticed this everywhere in Kenya. Overall, my stay was very pleasant and amazing! The resort has stunning landscaping and unbeatable prices, and I would definitely stay there again.

Pros:

Bedding and pillow were very smelly.
Air-con unit was leaking on to balcony.
Hotel is very dated and needs a refurb.
Caters for mass European tour clients.
Sunbeds always seem to be taken starting from 7 am.
Mainly European clients, hotel doesn’t feel like being in Africa, lacks diversity.
Stayed in other hotels at Diani at similar price/rating, but better quality.
