A perfect choice for a beautiful, relaxing, and memorable stay in Diani Beach
Pros:

A wonderful stay in one of the best places in Diani Beach

We absolutely loved our stay at Nomad Hotel Diani Beach. The hotel is beautiful, with a stunning view, lovely surroundings, and a very relaxing atmosphere. The service was excellent — the staff were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help.

The restaurant also deserves a special mention: the food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared. Breakfast and dinner were both a real pleasure.

This is definitely a place we would love to come back to.

Pros:

This is the perfect location on a beautiful quiet beach, with, or close to, many amenities. The sea facing villas are amazing and well equipped and comfortable. Three great restaurant options, as well as room service on your private veranda (although keep an eye out for the fast monkeys)!
Another attraction is the area of forest around Nomad, owned and protected by Nomad, with fascinating guides. With more and more development along the coast destroying the forest, I will go back to Nomad because of their care for this sacred space (as well as all the other benefits already mentioned!).

Cons:

Honestly cannot think of anything I did not like.

paradiso.
Pros:

La camera vista oceano è bellissima, accesso diretta alla spiaggia. Pulizia due volte al giorno. Possibilità di prendere kayak e stand up padel inclusi.

Cons:

Dovrebbero impedire ai venditori che hanno il mercatino davanti al ristorante di venire a importunarti costantemente.

Loved it
Pros:

The staff were amazing. They were always checking on me to make sure that I'm doing ok. The room was huge, much bigger than what I was expecting. I had an entire patio for myself with a hot tub and a view of the sea. It's one of the nicest places I've ever stayed. It was a nice touch to be visited by monkeys while sitting on the balcony. The food quality from the restaurant was also really nice.

Cons:

The mattress was a little bit too hard for my liking, and there were ants but bugs are to be expected when you are staying in the middle of nature.

The Nomad was over-rated as a resort and did not feel like a five star hotel
Pros:

The staff at the resort were extremely helpful and went above and beyond, especially when we required medical assistance. They checked in with us to see how we were and ensured that we were comfortable.

Cons:

There were several things that were frustrating at the Nomad, not least the amount of flies in the restaurant making dining there really unpleasant. There was also an issue with ants in our room and they were everywhere. On our first night, the shower was blocked, flooding the entire bathroom, which was made worse because there was no door to the shower. The air conditioning was pretty useless cooling one quarter of the room, while the other parts remained hot. You also could not keep the doors open due to the monkeys. For the amount of money paid for the resort, this was not reflected in the condition of the hotel.
