- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.6Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 794 reviewsOur stay at this hotel was absolutely amazing and went far beyond what we expected. The location is perfect – peaceful and right next to the beach, creating a truly relaxing atmosphere. The facilities were excellent: clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. But what truly stood out was the incredible hospitality. The staff were exceptionally kind, helpful, and attentive – always going above and beyond to make sure every wish was fulfilled. You rarely see this level of care, even in higher-class hotels. I will genuinely miss them. The food was another highlight. Breakfast was a generous buffet with plenty of delicious options, and dinner was à la carte – beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Full credit to the chef for creating such amazing meals every day! I can’t recommend this place enough. We’re already dreaming of coming back.Guest review byLenkaSlovakia

- From £415.62 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.2Superb - What previous guests thought, 57 reviewsI can't thank the staff at the Maji enough for all of the ways they made my time with them so wonderful. Communication before and during my visit was excellent, especially when I had to deal with travel delays due to awful weather. They went out of their way to make my birthday a very special occasion. The large room was perfect, and I even enjoyed a relaxing soaking bath. Meals were served with excellent and attentive service, and the beach beds were made with care and comfort.Guest review byCassandraUnited States

The highlight was the free upgrade to a beautiful cliffside cottage with a breathtaking view of the sea—it truly made our stay extra special. The staff was incredibly polite, warm, and helpful, making us feel welcome at every step. The property is stunning, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay here. Highly recommended for a peaceful and scenic getaway!Guest review bySomyaIndia

Its a nice place with a beautiful beach with clear blue water. Water in the apartments are however salty, I assume its because of the beach surrounding the area. Food and activities are expensive around this area.Guest review byAyomideNigeria - 10.0

Beautiful white sandy beaches and lovely place for snorkeling and other water activities. Everything you need closeby in the town of Diani or Ukunda. great restaurants all around with good food quality and taste. Friendly and helpfull people.Guest review byRoelofNetherlands - 10.0
Perfect.
Perfect. I wrote a previous outstanding review but Booking.com only posted my two comments from “suggested improvements”, which were inconsequential but gave a negative impression. The property was lovely, steps from an amazing white sandy beach fringed with coconut palms. I loved lolling on the comfy cushions on the roof terrace in the evenings. Cecilia who looked after us was amazing and a great cook. Her fish curries were to die for. The bed was comfy and the mosquito nets a great asset. The community pool was well maintained with a fabulous on site masseuse, Habiba. Amazing relaxing vacation would highly recommend.Guest review byGeraldineUnited Kingdom - 10.0

Diani beach is a great place to chill, relax, swim in warm ocean waters. Diani beach has a vibrant and eclectic nightlife , for those who want it. Getting around by tuk-tuk taxi is cheap and easy, the people are fab, But . . . don't go in May, or early June, it is very very rainy! December to March are best, Jan & Feb dryest by far. Enjoy.Guest review byTimKenya - 10.0

Ukunda is a great place to visit with family and also friends.The best place to watch the sunset on Kongo river and the beach is clean with white sand. We very much enjoyed each morning watching the monkeys jump around in the trees surrounding us Also amazing food at the estuary with very good price and friendly customer service. Overall : A beautiful 👌🏾 , friendly and peaceful place to be.Guest review byJoyUnited Kingdom - 10.0

amazing beach, white, clean most times, palm trees. exactly like in paradise, snorkelling, windsurfing, jetski, sand bank walks were available we ate mostly in the main restaurant of Neptune Palm Boutique and Spa.

Mostly private resorts however not far from Diani and accessible from Mombasa. The Likoni Ferry (which is the only way from Mombasa Island to the south) can take some time to cross- we took almost three hours when we first arrived.Guest review byJoashIndia - 8.0
Diani is a must see while visiting Kenya.
Diani is a must see while visiting Kenya. Just make sure you pick your dates well. We visited Diani in April which was the start of the raining season but it was hot. The dry season runs from August to December and I can only imagine how hot it can get. Many resorts don't have A/C but portable fans in rooms. It helps but the rooms are still hot. Bring insect repellent sprays as insects and mosquitoes are around. Plenty of activities to do. Wasani day trip is a must do, camel/horse rides along the beach, sunset in Congo river, glassboat rides, jet ski, kite surfing etc. Be ready to negotiate anything you buy as the locals have the tendency to overcharge foreigners. Also there is a small splash place for kids. It is not as big and elaborate as the big theme parks but it helps keep the kids busy and distracted.Guest review byAnonymous - 6.0

Ukunda itself is full of different kind of problems, but if we specifically talk about Diani, situation is different. Seaview access hotels are in general above average except, Flamboyant, Safari Beach and Seabreeze of which have many issues. Pricing 80$ to 500$ US. Then in Galu beach lies horrible trap places like this ghastly Coconut Village with incompetent teenagers left as managers. The second strip hotels are passable with pricing 35$ to 120$, but usually lack service ability and professional staff. The beach is very beautiful, but people around hotels hustling bring the experience down even bad.Guest review byMPENZIFinland
