    Food did take a little while to come so do wait for the delicious food, but good things come to those who wait. 😎

    Grounds were beautiful the staff were very attentive and accommodating from start. Food was exceptional and a massive thanks to the chefs. The hotel deputy manager was very kind and always asked if we needed anything. Honestly I would recommend anyone to stay and always return again and again.

    Bathroom toilet seat was very old.A lot of the sockets in the ocean villa where we stayed were European 2 pin style which wasn't expected in Kenya.There was a very thin partition with the room next door so could hear everything. A shower curtain would have been appreciated so that the toilet cubicle could still be used while someone was taking a shower..small things but could easily be changed and would make a big difference.

    The resort itself was lovely as were the staff.The grounds, pool area and bar area were great.Nice quiet part of the beach too.Easy to get around and security at the gate called a tuk tuk if none were around.

    They had mixed up our reservation with another room, but it was handled OK. Good coffee and drinks could be part of the breakfast included (just a recommendation!) During the day, the pool could be cleaned as it gets a bit dirty.

    It’s placed in probably the best location in Diani. The beach is very private and beautiful. The restaurant and bar placed at the beach is good - and vegetarian options at the menu is a big plus. It’s very child-friendly too with beach toy provided by the hotel. It’s a big plus that it’s possible to get a good massage too.

    At the beach bungalow I think they should change the shower installations because it is really oxidised due probably to the humidity of the beach and clean the couches outside because they were stained

    We went to Kenya for our honeymoon and we booked 2 nights with the beach bungalow at this amazing and beautiful place. The localisation is amazing. People are so nice, special shoutout to Pauline at the reception,Alex the security guy, the bartender with his delicious passion mojitos and the massage lady for her magic hands ❤️🥰

    The place is a bit off from Diani center so transport for me was a bit difficult. Public transportation is not readily available hence you have to wait a bit.

    The fact that the beach was 10 seconds away from my sleeping area bonus 💯 Another plus side was the vast white sandy beach, you could access different beach restaurants by foot especially in the morning and evening when the sun was not too strong. The staff here were awesome everyone was friendly and ready to cater to your needs. They have a pool which what my second home from the beach hehehe. The sun beds are a plus, it's private you do not have to deal with beach boys. There is Tribe watersport at the premise I watched people do a lot of kite surfing 🌊. If you ask me the is a total hidden geme especially if you are going to unwind and reconnect with yourself. You could totally set foot on day one and relax until u are ready to leave. Ps. They do have a restaurant and bar so one stop shop for sure. Will definitely be back. Keep it up team.
