Almost everything was good.

Very clean. Tasty food at the restaurant, and the staff was friendly.

Perfect small quiet beach boutique hotel with an incredible restaurant

Stayed in July 2025

The patio door was a bit difficult to open and lock/unlock. The room gets quite hot and humid at times.

Amazing food with a gorgeous view of garden, beach and sea.

The bed was behind a window, which is was facing the central hall and we would have preferred a real wall...

The place is small (6 rooms) so the atmosphere is very cosy and friendly, we felt very secured and well looked after. The swimming pool and private beach were great. The restaurant was amazing!

There was nothing to dislike

We had the most enjoyable stay at the beach villa. Great location directly on the beach with a large garden full of palm trees. Our room was very spacious, nicely furnished and comfortable, with a large modern bathroom. The staff was most wonderful and the food simply delicious. We can wholeheartedly recommend this little gem.

I had a great stay here. The staff from the top down were great. Service staff was especially nice & hospitable and offered service with a smile. Definitely recommend and hope to visit again in future.

Some of the sunbeds and cushions were starting to look a bit worn, but this really is a very minor observation.

Staff, food and service were all excellent. Everyone working there was really friendly and helpful. Had half board and there was no problem swapping dinner for lunch if we went out in the evening. Lovely al a carte meals. Location right on the beach. Room was spacious with great aircon and lovely views. There are only 7 rooms and it’s got a boutique vibe. Highly recommended

We stayed at Searenity for 6 nights and absolutely loved it. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. The owner suggested and organized some tours around Diani which we enjoyed a lot. When you stay at the hotel, you eat your meals in the restaurant (no buffet - you can simply choose from the menu). We tried many different things over the week and everyhting was delicious. The location is also perfect, directly at the beach and with a beautiful view from the restaurant. We highly recommend this place and will definitely return if we come back to Diani.

The only thing that I didn't like that was beyond the hotel control was the amount of seaweed on the beach.

I loved that the staff was attentive and personable to talk to. The owners/partners were always around to greet you and make sure you are enjoying your stay; and the food was just FABULOUS, award wining!

The room was okay. I expected more, we booked the deluxe double with sea view. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, hard as a rock. There wasn’t very good water pressure in the shower. All and all, considering the property is 3 years old, room could use some maintenance. It was very clean though and they service your room multiple times a day. You’re also in the main part of the “house” by the kitchen so it isn’t very quiet in the mornings with the food bell ringing etc. I would recommend booking a standard room cause they’re in their own area outside the house, where the monkeys hang out! The beach was nice from a distance, there are a lot of hagglers on the beach so the moment you step out from the resorts private beach area, you get bombarded. So it’s nice they have it fenced in.

The restaurant was the best part of this stay! There isn’t a lot of variety for good food spots in Diani so I’m so happy we chose to stay here. We stayed for 7 nights. The resort is a very quiet, private oasis. The staff were amazing! Very attentive and friendly. It’s a very personalized experience, everyone will know your name. The owner and manager were there everyday to provide recommendations or book any day activities. If you’re looking for a quiet place to chill out this would be it. But don’t expect a vibe at night, no bar, early nights.

1- Location and Wi-Fi: The hotel’s beachfront location is ideal, just a short walk from Diani Shopping Center where you can exchange money. The staff are quick to arrange tuk-tuks or taxis. The area is centrally located, with local souvenir shops within walking distance. The Wi-Fi works well throughout most of the hotel and in the restaurant, though it’s less effective near the beach. However, with the tranquil setting, you won’t always need Wi-Fi. 2- Cleanliness: Impeccable cleanliness with rooms serviced twice daily. We stayed in the beachfront room, which was spacious and perfect for relaxing outside. The room includes a safe, hot water, multiple electrical sockets, and an iron on request. They even offered to iron our clothes. 3- Staff: The staff are exceptional. The owner, Jaz, is incredibly friendly and attentive, always checking on us to ensure our comfort. Selma, who contacted us before arrival, made us feel like family. She handled bookings, trips, and car arrangements swiftly, creating a personal touch to our stay. Every staff member, from the waiters and receptionists to the pool staff, cleaners, kitchen team, and security, was well-trained, friendly, and hospitable. 4- Food: The restaurant serves delicious food with great service. While there might be a wait, it’s worth it for the fresh, expertly prepared meals. Their homemade ice creams, especially the mango sorbet, are a highlight. Breakfasts and dinners were perfect. The restaurant’s popularity is evident, and after trying other places in Diani, I can confidently say Anchor stands out as one of the best. If you miss a meal due to a tour or arrive late, they will prepare food and leave it in your room.

Honestly, the only thing I didn't like was that we couldn't stay there any longer.

The staff were fantastic from the owners who welcomed us to everybody on and around the site. They were helpful and friendly without being overbearing and were a delight to speak with about Kenya and the local area. The food was another level of fantastic and allowed my partner and I to enjoy different meals every time and also catered for all dietary requirements. Everything on the menu was cooked phenomenally and they ensured that as residents we had seating for every meal we wished to take. Furthermore, they were brilliant for helping us with things to do in and around the area and were organising transport to bars, restaurants and boat rides when we wished.

Weather could have been better, but it was the middle of winter here, so that was understandable.

We did the full meal plan and were very happy we did.

Beautiful boutique resort with lovely team all around, although half of our time there was heavy rain we loved every second of being there with an amazing rooftop terrace and in room jacuzzi, along with wonderful food options. Highly recommended stay in Diani

Efficiency when ordering food.

It is a really great place, and we'll be back. Staff so friendly they are sometimes over keen to please, resulting in food orders going awry.... But fabulous and thanks to Selma

Stayed in June 2024

Nothing really. The room I was in was close to the kitchen and reception which can be a little noisy at times esp if you’re trying to rest/nap during the day however last orders for dinner are at 8:30 so this noise is never an issue at night

Fab property, amazing location, super friendly staff, great food

Our stay was exceptional on all fronts. The villa is located on a beautiful beach front with amazing views of the Indian ocean and walking access the beach. The villa ground are well kept and beautifully designed and the swimming pool is just another cherry on top. The room we stayed in was spacious and super comfortable. The staff and hotel management were very friendly and super thoughtful and helpful. Food was unbelievably tasty and fresh. There is lots to do around the area and distance to the Tsavo safari park is reasonable for a 2 day or longer trip. We had a fantastic stay and there is nothing I would have changed about it.

We loved the tranquility and lush garden a few feet from the beach. A vast and delicious à la carte-menu.
