Vacanza super rilassante
Pros:

Hotel molto bello, direttamente sulla spiaggia di Diani.
La camera era enorme con letto king size e bagno confortevole.
Al piano terra c’è il ristorante, dove al mattino si fa colazione, che è molto buono con menu ampio.
Piscina molto bella e tranquilla con comode sdraio.
C’è anche la spiaggia privata dell’hotel.
Nota di merito ad Angie che è sempre stata gentilissima e disponibile con noi fin da prima che arrivassimo via messaggio anche per organizzare le gite.
Nei pressi dell’hotel c’è anche un altro ristorante correlato, buono.
Per gli amanti degli sport accanto all’hotel ci sono due diving (molto professionali entrambi) e una scuola di kite surf.

Cons:

La serratura della nostra camera era un po’ vecchia e facevamo spesso fatica ad entrare in camera.
Le tende “notturne” purtroppo sono molto sottili e bianche per cui personalmente facevo fatica a dormire perché appena albeggiava la stanza era inondata di luce.
Inoltre essendo la nostra camera sopra la cucina alle 6:20 venivamo sempre svegliati da un rumore martellante, probabilmente l’utilizzo di coltelli per i cibi da servire a colazione.
Le scelte per la colazione sono molto ampie per chi fa la colazione continentale, ci sono invece scelte più ristrette per chi predilige quella dolce.

We had a very relaxing time at the hotel with excellent service provided by staff and management.
Pros:

Both the management team and the staff provided us with an outstanding level of service. The management team went out of their way to help
us get the best out of our stay and the service provided by the restaurant staff was exemplary. The food both at breakfast, lunch and dinner, both in the hotel and next door at Faulty’s offered a wide choice of menu and the quality was excellent. We were very pleased to have a powerful hot shower as the other hotels we had stayed at in Kenya seemed
not to be able to provide this.

Cons:

Very little, if anything. There was some
discrepancy between the description of our room provided on booking.com and the actual room provided. We were offered an alternative room, but this was not necessary as we were quite happy with what we had.

Pros:

Es un hotel pequeño, pero muy bonito y cuidado. Nos gustó que estaba todo muy limpio, incluida la piscina y la playa. Al anochecer pasaban por la habitación con insecticida.
Tenían agua potable siempre disponible en los pasillos.
Tiene dos restaurantes con cartas diferenciadas, todas las cenas y algunas comidas las hicimos allí y comimos bien, en general. Los desayunos son buenos y abundantes.
Tiene acceso directo a la playa y zona de tumbonas y camas junto al mar y junto a la piscina.

Cons:

Reservamos una habitación "con vista al mar" y es cierto que se veía el océano, pero el cristal de la ventana estaba muy sucio por fuera y no se podía disfrutar de la vista.
Siendo un hotel de playa, estaría bien disponer de una zona para secar la ropa de baño.

Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal, wir waren zeitweise die einzigen Gäste, da fühlt sich die gesamte Anlage mit umfangreichem Garten schon sehr luxuriös an. Schneller, direkter Zugang zum feinen Sandstrand. Das Essen (Frühstück und Abendessen) wird zur gewünschten Zeit zubereitet und war sehr lecker.

Cons:

Nebenan ist aktuell eine Baustelle, von wo den ganzen Tag über Lärm herüber kommt.

Unterkunft an guter Lage
Pros:

Die Lage so nah am Strand wahr herrlich.Toller Strand. Nervige Beach Boys aber das gehört zu Kenia .Viele gute Resturants in der umgebung.Das Bett hat gute Matratzen.Trinkwasser ist gratis das finden wir Super.Gute auswahl beim Frühstück.Freundliches Personal.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war uns zu Dunkel. Keine Bestellung im Restaurant hat geklappt. Vorspeise wurde vergessen , getränke nur die hälfte gebracht. Bestellung ganz vergessen. Auf der Karte steht 3 Pancake mit Vanille Joghurt. Gekommen sind jeweils zwei Pancake und nie ein Joghurt. für uns hat es nicht eine grosse Rolle gespielt für die das die das Frühstück bezahlen, finde ich es relevant.

Nice pool, nice staff, direct access to the beach, wifi good in the restaurant but not the room, not good for a solo fem
Pros:

Good entry to the beach

Cons:

It’s right next to a big scalper hangout, so they frequently approach the guests as they’re trying to relax

Décevant pour le prix...
Pros:

J'ai aimé le personnel qui etait vraiment gentil + la proximité avec la plage qui est a 1mn a pied vraiment, la piscine très agréable et assez profonde donc très bien.

Cons:

Alors déjà le petit déjeuner qui etait décevant car ils annonce un buffet mais c'est seulement pour le pain et le café, le reste il faut commander + choix très limité contrairement au dîner qui lui est très varié et très bon.( assez cher mais c'est diani...)

Ensuite la chambre ne possède pas de douche et de toilettes, il faut aller dans le couloir donc assez désagréable.

Et ensuite la chambre qui possède 3 grandes fenêtres mais pas de volet !! Juste un petit drap qui laisse la lumière du soleil passé donc grasse matinée impossible + du bruit dès 6h du matin tout les matins devant ma porte par le personnel qui commence leurs travail ( ce que je comprends ) mais bruyamment...

Ensuite emplacement de l'hôtel beaucoup trop isolé, RIEN a proximité a pieds ! Il faut a chaque fois applé un tuktuk ou taxi !
Hôtel rempli de touristes et retraités touristes donc ennuyant a mourir....

Je m'arrête la par respect pour le personnel ( surtout le barman du soir ) qui etait super gentil.
Mais je ne compte pas revenir.

Great stay!
Pros:

The studio, the pool, the facilities at the beach, and the people that work there are great.

Cons:

-There was a big cockroach in our room
-There are always a few masai people watching you eat and sunbath. They actually don't have much to do and therefore just stare at you all the time. It is a bit awkward. It would be better if they actually have work to do.
