It's a corner of style and elegance right on the ocean and in the middle of nowhere, nature and peace - but in 10 minutes by foot you reach the centre of msambweni. every corner is decorated with african artifacts, every host can find his private angolino direct on the sea or at the side of the pool, or in the shadow on sofas choosing between books at our disposal, or games to play in group or lying on hammocks under palm trees at 2 steps from the ocean. Breakfast is very good and plentyful and in the menù you can choose even vegetarian - excellent food, dry white wine, cocktails; you can even ask particular dishes in advance. Miss Stacey, the manager, sweet and kind and easy and friendly at same time, like the staff, precise and careful but never "pressing". When there is low tyde you can swim in the swimming pool kept perfect clean more times in a day. For me 100 per cent positive experience!

First and Foremost, the staff were wonderful. That alone would make me return. Charles and Danson were always on hand to help with anything and the friendliness was second to none. Then Charles who looked after the Pool was such a lovely man, with such a lovely smile and chat and again always nice to see him and he kept our pool sparkling clean. Location was perfect for us and used to love getting up early for a jog along the wonderful beach, followed by a swim and then breakfast. Will definitely return to Diana beach.

A piece of paradise - very nice little modern place to stay…I cannot fault a thing instead highly recommend;) The place itself is super nice and clean and modern concept with eco cabins…the view to the ocean…the access to the beach…the restaurant…better than we imagined…a place where You can really relax and rest…and as I did some research before booking a stay, I think that there is no such similar place on that strip of Diani beach….You can find big old hotels but this is rare….and especially have to point out that the real-real treasure in this hotel is the staff…The people working there make such a great value to the place…Me and my family staying there for 11days felt like being part of Lala Galu’s family somehow😊 Big hugs&kisses from Estonia!!!

The resort is huge, luxurious and offers a great variety of pools, restaurants and activities. The renovated rooms are very nice. The staff were fantastic, always cheery, welcoming, and the Jambo activities team were great fun with the water polo, volleyball and shuffle board games. Bar staff, cleaners, waiting teams will all make it feel like home as they greet you throughout the day. Small requests of ours were always met with help whether it be with food or hair conditioner. As vegans, we had a good choice of foods for each meal. The chefs even did vegan crepes each breakfast when we asked. Soya milk was also readily available, which was nice, and there were even milk and egg free cakes in the afternoons. The resort has a good variety of water sports at very reasonable prices. The spa and massage area is brilliant, so relaxing and well priced for all the treatments. We really enjoyed ours.

The most important point to mention are the staff that work here. They are a real asset to the hotel. They are friendly, welcoming and attentive. They truly complete the hotel. The hotel itself is set right there on an amazing stretch of beach. Beautiful sea water. The pool is great. Gardens pleasant. Rooms are great (some people may have really high standards when it comes to rooms but I feel in context they are brilliant) The restaurant food is abundant and of good quality (especially the steak) Drink service was fast and drinks good. All in all, a fabulous hotel.

The staff of the hotel is very kind and helpful, at all times, accomodating to every wish. The room, that we stayed in, was large enough and had everything necessary for a comfortable trip. The room was cleaned daily and the towels changed regularly. The meals served in the restaurant was varied and delicious, everybody can find something to eat according to their tast. The pool area is kept very clean. There are sufficient sunbeds and additional towels for all the guests.

This is our third stay at Bahari Dhow and it never fails to impress. The hotel represents amazing value for money. The rooms are spacious, the beds are comfy and the monkeys are cheeky. The breakfast is also amazing. The onsite Kite Surfing school is great and Hassan is the best teacher in Diani. We loved our stay as usual!!

Diani Beach is a beautiful white-sand beach with lots of restaurants around, making it easy to get meals for lunch or dinner. The thing I did not like about Diani Beach was the number of sellers who were selling things and were a bit aggressive in doing so. There were so many of them; they did not leave us alone. They sold everything from bracelets to offering trips to the nearby Marine National Park.

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 :-)

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.

Powdery white sand that is very easy to walk on.

Powdery white sand that is very easy to walk on. The reef about 500-600m offshore breaks the outer waves so inside the reef is moderately calm. Water shoes recommended due to sea urchins in some areas. A nice beach for walking, but you will be approached by vendors. A polite 'no' is usually sufficient. Several excellent places to eat along the stretch of beach where we stayed - Nomad's, Faulty's at the Flamboyant, Ali Barbour's Cave (reservation required), and Asha Boutique (Friday night beach buffet).
