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.

The hotel is cozy and very stylish, the food is incredibly delicious. The place looks much nicer in real life than in the photos. Compared to Nomad , it's much better and worth the money.

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!!!

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.

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 :-)

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.

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.

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).
