I've stayed at almost all the best hotels in across diani and Swahili beach is my favourite. Amazing staff, exceptional services and quick response to any problems or issues you may have. Big thanks to Rose the manager and all the staff working in the resort. Loved the food choices between the different restaurants at swahili beach. Coming back very soon
I was sorely disappointed because I expected a 5-Star as the resort purports itself to be. The beach is NASTY, full of rocks and seaweed which workers attempt to sweep for at least 4 hours every morning. The pools are DIRTY except the one at the very bottom and the service was lacking because I had to keep calling the front desk for assistance with housekeeping. I’d had surgery so I needed my room cleaned as early as 10am everyday of my 7-night stay, but it still wouldn’t be cleaned by 4pm! I’ll just go back to Pride-Inn and the North Coast resorts.
Really great stay to end our 2 week safari trip. Wonderful ocean views from beach restaurants, delicious food every meal on full board. Swimming pools are spectacular! Beach would not be really suitable for swimming or most picturesque - so if looking for instagram pictures of white beaches turquoise waters and palms trees, would need to take a short walks.
The staff are amazing. All very helpful and patient. Allowing me to check out at the time required (10am) but stay until 230pm and use the pool and take a shower at the spa for no extra cost was truly special and so appreciated.
I loved the Swahili decor! Nicely maintained gardens, different food options. Would not recommend for children. Beach not the best but everything else including amazing spa facilities —excellent.
Beautiful property and stunning rooms! Bathroom was also beautiful and really good hot shower! Loved the pool areas and multiple options for dining. Really good hospitality and all staff very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend this resort as one of the best on Diani Beach.
The pools were dirty and disgusting. The property is receiving payment from me and other guests everyday. Why is the swimming pool staff Not giving cleaning service when necessary ? ? Why is the building next to us so black and disgusting ? I will suggest a good power wash and new coat of paint. Rainwater causes mildew stains over time. Now it is an eyesore. Please clean your swimming pools,even on Sunday. Thank you for your concern. Your loving pride and joy client.
There is almost no beach. Mainly rocks… impossible to walk on the beach and completely to swim. Also bothered none stop by vendors.
Service is extremely slow.
Full pension is actually limited in terms of food and end paying double often.
Security is a major issue. No control on who get out no even on kids.
Everything becomes a surcharge even for mayonnaise!
