Greatest stay in Diani, with a private oool and close to the beach.
Pros:

The best place I’ve ever booked in Diani. I’ve stayed many places. The rooms are big, the bed’s comfortable, and the showers were hot.

Cons:

I liked everything.

Enjoyed it
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. The food was delicious. The swimming pool was clean, well-maintained, and perfect for the kids. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. We would be happy to come back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cons:

Just the lighting in the rooms could be better. More lighting would be preferred.

Great Family stay on the Beach
Pros:

The facility doesn’t feel crowded like others, the area is big that you can have great walk among palm trees. The pool area was very nice and pool was deep: 2.8 m. It’s on the first line of the beach with direct access to the Ocean. The property is guarded by Masai people who are great with taking care that Monkeys are not stealing your food. Breakfast were tasty and there are few restaurants on the property and one (Ali Barbour’s Cave) just 150 m from the hotel (don’t forget to reserve the seat in advance). I don’t think you can beat the price for the stay you have. The staff is very helpful and ahead of our stay I could organize with them pick ups etc. There is Kite school at the property which I highly recommend because instructors are just great. We were family of five with kids (7, 12 and 14) and everyone wanted to stay longer. Well done!

Cons:

The facility and rooms were very clean, just few small things like canopy materials on the pool beds were with some wear marks, some with holes. Bathrooms in the room could get some refresh too.

Relaxt, comfortabel en goed gestiueerd.
Pros:

Ook het tweede verblijf hier was voortreffelijk, mede dankzij de prima service van Valentine en Eunice. De bungalows ondergaan op dit moment een flinke renovatie en worden daardoor nog mooier. Ook zijn er zonnepanelen geplaatst om de kosten te drukken en wordt een eigen watervoorziening gemaakt, waardoor de problemen bij stroomonderbrekingen worden voorkomen. Gezellig complex met serene rust en behulpzaam personeel.

Great. Wonderful.
Pros:

The location is excellent - on the beachside. You go to sleep to the sound of the ocean and wake up to a beautiful sunrise with nice clean beach to walk on less than 20m away.
I like the look and feel of the place. They are deliberate about taking care of the environment first and using environmentally friendly products.
The host, Kerry, was excellent. She went out of her way to make us comfortable and even managed to help us extend our stay despite the last minute request. She made provision for us to stay longer.

Cons:

Perhaps the food could be improved. Unfortunately, I could not try the rich variety Kenyan cuisine I had hoped for right at the restaurant and fish was not available at the time, but its not a deal breaker because the food is still good.

Pros:

The hotel and the rooms are clean and well maintained.
It is on the first line of beach and the staff is always very accommodating and nice.

The pool and the beach area are big so we always had enough chairs.
