Beautiful property and rooms, friendly and helpful staff. Overall, the food could do with improvement, for example nachos were literally Doritos or something similar, with nothing on them, and everything else mixed into a cup to dip into. Saying that, food at Zanzibar, spice route and some of the breakfast options were very good. Lots of quirks though! Only one restaurant was open for lunch, and even being low season, food took up to 1 hr 45 minutes to arrive, with no real explanation. Same when their system showed us checking out a day sooner than actual, no real reason was provided as to why. Lots of cats, many are strays or kittens, and all should be spayed or neutered.

I can honestly say this is one of the most beautiful places I've ever stayed in, the photos don't do it justice. On top of that, everything has been thought through, the staff are very friendly and helpful, the food was great and so was the beach. At thebtop of my list to return to.

Wonderful Getaway

My cousin and I stayed for a few days and we loved every bit of it! The property is stunning and the service is impeccable. Everyone made sure our time was comfortable and we felt very well taken care of. Kelvin is so helpful from beginning to end. The front desk helped us book transportation when needed and made great recommendations for things to do in the area. The food was delicious. We really enjoyed Shadrack’s cooking and how well he took care of us at Zanzibar. Silo gave us wonderful service as well at Baharinhi. Please do not hesitate, book this place now!

This is a very nice property with a lot of amenities. The staff, however, is not overly accommodating. For instance, I asked for more water for our room and I was told that I was only to have two bottles and then if I wanted any more water, I would have to either order it from room service or get it myself from the bar or go across the street to the grocery store. There were a lot of little things like this, and It seemed every time we asked for some thing or needed something the answer was often no. Overall, though it is a good property and I would recommend it.

I loved everything about the resort the staff was nice and catered to all of our needs the only thing i didn't understand was we paid for full board which means food and drinks were suppose to be included only to find out that you had to pay for drinks and if you had your own you have to pay a fee for drinking it. I think that should have been specified when booking

The overall stay was relaxing and wonderful. This resort is the nicest one in the area. I was pleased however, the water did get turned off a few times. They were doing construction so one of the days I was trying to nap and I couldn’t due to banging on the roof. It appears they are doing some needed repairs which is expected but not an ideal time. The message was amazing I will say. The dinner was redundant at the main buffet but the Spice Market restaurant was amazing. Gilbert was our waiter and he was phenomenal. He was very hospitable and had the most cheerful attitude. Most of the staff was kind, a few seemed annoyed with the requests of the guests. Overall my experience was relaxing and I enjoyed my time there.

The property had all the hallmarks of a four star resort. However, there are a few things that will need attention. The cleaning staff was late in the evening, although there weren’t many guests there. And they used too much disinfectant in the room. I had the oysters at the beach restaurant which gave me a very bad stomach virus. And the Japanese restaurant did not make sushi or sashimi. In Hindsight, it was better that I didn’t eat it there. The spa was a shining star. The staff was great and did a wonderful job. (Please fix the saña. That would have been a plus.

Just Book It, Seriously The Swahili Experience. I spent 7 full days at this amazing resort. It was the best Diani has to offer. EVERYTHING is better than the pictures. The rooms are spacious, the pools a large and many, the food choices are plenty, and the spa is a must! I'm going to name drop because it was that good I had to keep a list. This is not to say other staff aren't amazing, but these are the staff that made my experience one for the books! The F&B Staff led by Junas: Daizy, Paul, Twahir, Sila, Clemence, and Hoka never missed a beat from breakfast to lunch to dinner. The Spa - there is not need to name drop, every single person in the Spa is !!!!!!! You must book the Swahili Experience at the Spa. The entire pool staff were thee keepers of the vibe! They keep the pool clean and ready! Morris is guest relation is a whole vibe! He literally is there to make sure you are living it up!! I don't have kids, I was there on a solocation, however, the entertainment staff......they were AMAZING! They kept the kids busy, allowing me to chat with cools moms! The music, the activities, the friendliness, and the safety! The accountant and cashier, Francis is always one to know. He keeps very good records, there was no funny business with the billing! He literally keeps everything running smooth! Such a pleasure at check out. The Owners - I love them! They are couple goals! They pay attention to maintenance, and they listen! I will be back!
