I stayed there recently for 4 night and it was my second time there. We had a half board (breaktfast and dinner).
The buffets were good but not great however the a la carte choices for lunch were great ( and I would highly recommend the Cobb Salad or the BLT!).
The room was fine however the warm in the shower was warm but never close to hot.
The staff were very good.
We stayed for a total of 4 nights in March, 2026.
Our room was good however the room cleaning was in the afternoon rather than the morning.
We had half board and the buffet food was good but not great. The a la carte food was very good.
The water in the shower was warm but never hot which was disappointing.
The beach area was very nice however often all the loungers were taken.
The staff were very good.
Me and my wife loved the stay there. The rooms were cool after a long day in the sun, the beds were very comfortable and the staff were all very friendly. The food and bars on the resort are the best we’ve had at a hotel.

Disliked: Amenities
Rooms were clean, spacious, working AC and staff cleaned on a daily basis.
Meals were deliciously prepared, loved the Swahili station.
However, there needs to be a variety of drinks and desserts especially during tea time. Waiters also need to be more proactive in assisting guests.
Most importantly, the hotel needs to provide activities for guests. The bars are boring, drink menu is very limited and no activities to keep people engaged.

This is an older property that has not been remodeled in a decades. That being said, it was clean and the beds were very comfortable.
The staff were very friendly but the service, especially for food was slow. Typically an hour to get food ordered off the menu. The food was fair and inconsistent (I ordered a hamburger 2 different days. 1st day, good, 2nd day, terrible.)
I really enjoyed my time at this hotel.. the beach is absolutely beautiful and the staff were sweet and very helpful

From the moment we arrived at Diani Reef Beach Resort & Spa, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome and looked after. Every member of the team was warm, attentive and incredibly professional – nothing was ever too much trouble.
What stood out most for us was how personal the service felt: friendly smiles, remembering our preferences, and always checking that we were comfortable and enjoying our stay. They created a relaxed, homely atmosphere while still being very efficient.
The room was spotless and well presented, the grounds are beautifully kept, and the facilities are excellent – but it’s really the people who take this hotel to another level.
We left feeling very well cared for and would happily return. Highly recommended.

We liked the group activities like water polo. There was variety of food during dinner. Most of the staff were friendly and the lady at reception ensured we got the honeymoon compliment. They also upgraded our room from standard to deluxe at no extra cost.
Very good resort with great rooms, swimming pools, good breakfast ( buffet) would recommend, the only issue was that you can't open the window at night as there is no misquoters ( nets on the windows)
The staff were approachable and kind. Entertainment was good.Overall my stay at the property was good and I recommend this place. My only concern is if they can upgrade the bathrooms
Room had a few tiny roaches in the bathroom. We only stayed 1 night so no terrible. Grounds are nice and clean. Staff very helpfu and attentive. The monkeys stealing food seems to be a bit out of control.
