I enjoyed my stay thoroughly. The staff is professional (specially Ian and Joffrey). They made sure everything was perfect and were very kind and respectful. Stacey (the manager) made sure to provide any sort of help I needed with booking transport or getting around. Location is perfect for an idyllic and relaxing holiday. Food was great. You have a lot of options for breakfast and it is prepared fresh when you order. You also get delicious fresh fruit. Cannot recommend this place more if you want to relax away from all the tourist traps. The rooms are a bit basic compared to a fancy hotel but you have everything you need.

The hotel exceeded all our expectations. It is practically brand new, so everything is absolutely clean, hygienic and fragrant. The rooms are almost luxurious, excellent air conditioning, comfortable beds, mosquito nets (although we did not see a single mosquito for a week in December), spacious bathroom. Absolutely great daily cleaning service, towels, bathrobes, shower gels and shampoos - all with the hotel emblem. Possibility to have breakfast in the room, on the ground floor, or on the fantastic roof terrace. There is also an unbeatable panoramic pool with perfectly clean and, most importantly, optimally warm water. All the staff were very helpful and accommodating, especially we want to thank Joseph and Bahati for their hospitality. From our point of view, the hotel was comparable in quality to a better five-star hotel. Breakfast was a choice of 4 options, which was quite fine for a week's stay. The kitchen, as well as the roof bar, are available all day and cook quality food. Our family spent a wonderful time at the hotel all days of our stay. A tuk-tuk regularly took us to the beach with a very good and not expensive restaurant, a 5-minute journey and only 2 USD. Thank you very much for everything Marikeko.

This is paradise!!! So so beautiful and in a great location. It can accommodate different groups of people; families, groups of friends, honeymoon couples etc. The rooms are clean, big and modern with smart Tvs. There are two well thought out and good sized pools. One in a place with a shade (and a slide) and the other one in the open overlooking the beach. The beach is private and clean. They have two rooftop areas where one can catch the most breathtaking sunset. The food was well prepared and inclusive. The hospitality was excellent. The staff were the cherry on top. The resort is run by Mr Kinoti, a true gentleman, who was constantly on his feet to ensure everything was running seemlessly. The restaurant staff: Juma, Albert, Bakari.... just to mention a few, were so kind and attentive. They went the extra mile to meet our needs always. We couldn't thank them all enough for giving us an unforgettable experience. Ps: The coffee is outstanding!

Blue Water Villas is perfect if you are looking for a place to stay as a family or a large group or a place for several days or for work. It has a home-like feel to it with everything you would need at home including a washing machine and a moderately-well equipped kitchen. Very well managed and clean with a swimming pool in it that's cleaned regularly. The host Solomon is very responsive and the manager and the other members Shirleen and Leah are also friendly and helpful. Whenever we needed anything, they were responsive and quick to respond. We enjoyed our stay and would be glad to be back. It's located in a quiet area, a 15 minutes walk to the beach and also about 20-30 minutes from the shopping center and Ukunda airport.

We just came back from Mzima Beach, where we stayed for 9 days, and honestly, it was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The place itself is beautiful, but what really made it special were the people. Everyone was so kind and truly went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and happy. Room service was just perfect — always on time, incredibly attentive, and everything was spotlessly clean. You could tell how much care and pride they put into every little detail. Coming back to a beautifully made room every day felt so comforting. Charles, the manager, was absolutely fantastic — always smiling, full of life, and spreading so much positive energy around. He really made the whole experience shine. My husband also had a deep tissue massage from Emely, and she was absolutely amazing. She really knows what she’s doing — professional, caring, and so skilled. He felt completely relaxed and renewed afterward. Mzima Beach isn’t just a beautiful place to stay — it’s a place filled with heart. The people there make all the difference. We left with so much gratitude and so many happy memories.

From arriving up to leaving, it was perfect! The rooms are comfortable and clean. Stuff is always doing the best service, from the reception over the cleaning staff to the restaurant! Even there was a animation for kids at the pool what our son really enjoyed. The Chef cooking delicious meals and sharing some special tip to make your food better! The waiters have done always a great job , Jonathan was always having some jokes to made us laugh. Cleaning staff always was respecting your privacy and when told them come back at time they was at the point! At the point a perfect stay what I can just recommend.

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.

The spirit at Kaya Kwetu is one of love and tranquility and, together with the constant sounds of the waves and the birds, feels a bit paradise-ish. Lindsay and her team are very attentive and helpful from first contact, special food requirements, transport options and late checkout. The creativity and vibe of the unique rooms has one transported into another world and it's all relaxation and connecting with nature. From the "jungle pool" to the beach walks and healthy meal options, a stay at Kaya feels like rejuvenation therapy :-)

Its a chilled out border town, with lots of diving - snorkle opportunities. For sailors it's our point of entry into Kenya and the immigration - customs is super quick and easy, hassle-free as opposed to the land point. But Id come again and stay longer as its very laid back compared to most of the busy Kenyan coastal towns.

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.

The island was great. People very friendly. The only negative part was when I went for a walk on the island, one woman asked me what I was doing there. When I replied just looking, she told me to look cost money and I should come to the office to pay, which was total BS!

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.

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.
