    I spent 5 lovely nights in Diani Beach. The staff were great, very good, and gave me good recommendations. The location was great - surrounded by organized tropical forest. The outdoor bar was a delightful surprise.

    Stayed here for 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our choice. It had beautiful rooms and prime location. The facilities, such as a safe box, a work desk, and a dining area, were all that was needed. We did not want to leave.

    The beachfront bungalows offer a breathtaking view of the sunrise and have a lovely terrace. the small and private resort provides a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. the staff, especially Isaac, provide excellent service, making you feel well taken care of. the soft beach sand and calm sea are perfect for relaxation.

    Felt right at home here, with nothing to complain about.

    Beautiful and clean beach with comfortable sunbeds for relaxation. Spacious and clean rooms with great amenities and hot water showers. - Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff who go above and beyond to make your stay memorable. - Delicious food, especially the amazing king prawns. - Attention to detail in all aspects of the hotel.

    Lack of courtesy and attention to guests' needs, especially after a long journey. Owner's agitated and unfriendly behavior towards guests with minor requests or concerns.

    The value for money at this beachfront hotel was incredible, and the room was cozy and comfortable. The location was perfect, right on the beautiful beach, and the staff treated us like royalty.

    The breakfast option could have been more diverse to cater to different tastes.

    Stayed at a small, exclusive resort in January. Hosts and staff were welcoming and helpful. Food was exceptional, with fresh fish and flexible chef. Peaceful, relaxing location on a beautiful beach. Highly recommend!

    The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, always going above and beyond to meet our needs. the breakfast provided was delicious, with fresh and customized options that kept us full for hours. the location was perfect for those seeking a peaceful and quiet escape, away from the bustling main area.

    The managers had an arrogant demeanor and the property did not live up to its initial presentation. the rooms appeared shabby and in need of brightening up.

    The rooms were spacious and equipped with a safe, refrigerator, and a comfortable seating area. The location was fantastic, just 0.5 miles from Ukunda airport, making it very convenient. The hotel is beautifully situated in a beach area, and there is a great restaurant nearby offering outstanding food.
