AI Summary
The location at the seafront provides easy access to a larger market and a hospital. The staff offers excellent and friendly service, being highly responsive and attentive to guest needs.

I noticed that many reviews mention the hotel not living up to a five-star standard. However, no one seems to complain that the price doesn’t match a five-star level either. In my opinion, this is an excellent hotel for the price.
The property is spacious, the rooms are fresh and cleaned daily, and amenities like slippers and bathrobes are provided. The staff is welcoming, and the breakfast offers a great variety. From 4 to 5 PM, there’s a complimentary tea and pastries service, which is a lovely touch. The beach is beautiful, with plenty of loungers equipped with soft cushions.
This is definitely a place I would consider returning to.

Absolutely not worth it and not close to 5 stars, not even to 1 star.
Here are the factsd:
- The place is very run down and old. Some rooms smell like mold and others seem like they are falling apart. The corridors are always dark and they don’t turn on lights like in an abadoned building.
- No hot water. It took hours and no one could fix it
- The water in the shower and sink is salty. We had to to shower from a BUCKET to get fresh water. Seriously 5 stars?
- The food didn’t have much variety and it’s low quality.
- Super slow service and you have to beg them for stuff and they barely do the job. Example, we had to ask for towels 4 times and they didn’t even get the towels we asked for. It took us hours to get a sunbed and towels on the beach. We had to them beg the waiter for drinks but he kept ignoring us. We ended up bringing the drinks alone.
On the good side, some staff are very nice and helpful. The rooms are generally clean and insect free as they spray them with organic oils. Also, the rooms have an airconditioner which was great.
Our general take on Diani Beach:
Honestly not worth it at all. If you’re going for Safari, including a beach won’t add value to your trip and probably just make it frustrating.
- Prices in general are crazy for what it is and you can find much better beaches in other surrounding countries.
- What they call “beach boys” are everywhere, waiting for people to step into the beach to follow them trying to sell them stuff. You’ll be on your sunbed within the hotel boundaries and they are at the beach infront of you watching and waiting. Some are so demanding and will follow you around and try to act friendly just to sell you. Was an uncomfortable experience. So you better be mean and block them from the start.

Location of the hotel was fabulous. But the food was terrible. The worst part was that most of our 12 days there, the hot water was out. Despite repeated calls, they fixed it only for a short time, then it was out again. Also, the tap water was very salty, and I felt I couldn’t get clean. This hotel has potential, but is very poorly managed and maintained.

The pick-up was on time from our hotel in Westland of Nairobi. The driver, Edward, was professional and friendly and I do appreciate his hard work. The package was 3.5 out of 5. The accommodation at Lake Nakuru was nearly terrible and if I wasn't about the staff I would have left the hotel in the first hour! The food, room, and everything else in this hotel was a disaster! The second accommodation in Masai Mara Camp was not that bad as it is a tent camp. The game drives were all good enough due to the driver’s skills.

The whole resort staff are very friendly and nice. The breakfast and dinner are really good with a wide variety of choices . However , the rooms and amenities need a bit of refurnishing as it starts to see slightly dated. The toilet needs to be cleaner as there seems to be some hard white spots appearing on the levers. The entertainment room also needs to be maintained.
Overall , we still had a good stay nevertheless

The water for daily use is salty, and the hotel prepared 6 bottles of purified water for brushing teeth. The hotel provides Western food, and most of the guests are European and American. What is more special is that there are many monkeys on the balcony, and you can feed them, which is quite interesting.
