Honeymoon
Pros:

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights during our 12 day honeymoon in Kenya. We went in June, which is the "cold season", but the temperatures were in the 80's and the water was still very warm. The resort was very quiet, but it does allow children so that volume can change, especially by the pool area. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS!! The décor of the rooms were a bit underwhelming, if your into a nice aesthetic of the room it might be a bit disappointing, butttt with a beach as beautiful as Diani Beach, you should not be in your room anyway! Happy Travels!

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.

Amazing stay
Pros:

We visited the Nomad resort to celebrate our honeymoon and wasn't disappointed. The resort was beautiful, with plenty to do and a range of great food. What really made the stay special was the staff who were incredibly friendly and accommodating.

Beautiful long beach
Pros:

Thoughtfully decorated rooms and environment. Lots of space, great facilities. Food was very good and staff friendly and helpful. Beach bar a bit busy on weekends as open to public but it is separated from hotel facilities. Beautiful beach- big tidal reach but 30m beach left even at high tide and at low tide huge expanse. Beach sellers keen but not intrusive. Would recommend

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.
