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.

I had a truly amazing experience at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, professional, and incredibly attentive. The room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The breakfast buffet was delicious with a great variety of options. One of the highlights of my trip was the special excursion to Shale Island – it was breathtaking and perfectly organized by the hotel. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for luxury, comfort, and exceptional service.

We loved our entire stay at this apartment! It has a very spacious and modern interior. The place is exceptionally clean, cozy, and located close to shops and restaurants.The beach is only a 5-minute walk away, and there was 24-hour security at the main gate. Lornah was so kind and always very responsive whenever we needed her help. We will definitely be going back.

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.

I am going to wax lyrical on the best place that I have rented. The situation right on Diani Beach Road gives access to bank/ATM and supermarket 5 minutes walk (turn right on exiting the property) Turn left and walk for one minute to reach a really nice Italian restaurant (Leonardo's) The food is excellent, prices well below other establishments and what you would pay in the UK. The host of the apartment is friendly, charming and very helpful. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. There is a balcony set off the kitchen area. Prop open the door for warm Kenyan air but please remember to close the screen door to oppose mosquitoes and keep the monkeys out ! There is a washing machine available which is really handy for longer stays and a regular cleaning lady. The bed has a mosquitoe net and is very comfortable. If you have a car, there is good security. For the price and locatiuon this is a must have deal. As the Terminator famously said "I will be back ! "

A little bit of unspoilt tropical heaven! No mains water hook up to the mainland, meaning no running water, but the bucket shower was fun and fine, in the little private bathroom. Very happy here - would recommend.

Amazing place! We even got a room upgrade: we booked the cottage and we were offered to go to Hemingways suite which was absolutely fantastic, with a private pool on the rooftop. The pools, both the private and the shared ones, were clean and nice. The staff is very kind and always available: they can recommend good and convenient options for visiting the marine national park. The lodge is on a beach with mangroves: don't expect to chill on the white sand of Diani, it's completely a different environment, with mangrove ecosystems and lot of conservation efforts. The food was also good. We ate abundantly at dinner and breakfast, and the staff was available to satisfy our requests and exigencies. The restaurant on the terrace, with sofa, and lot of books, makes it a perfect place to chill and relax. You can reach the KWS office (to take the boat for the marine park with a 15-minutes walk through Shimoni Village, which is small but super characteristic. We highly suggest to visit it for a very local experience. The Shimoni Slaves Caves are less than 10 minutes walking. Strongly recommended and thanks a lot for such nice hospitality.

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.

How do you rate such a place? Located in Msambweni, on the calm side of Kwale County, SawaSawa beach house is a hidden gem of the coast. Even from the inquiry stage, we got the feeling of ease, that countionued for our 10 days of true serenity stay. The hotel itself is not big, but well equipped with large spotless rooms/bathrooms, common areas where you find pool (ideal for low tide hours) and lounge areas for you to enjoy sunrise/sunset, play boardgames or just chill. Strolls up and down the beach, to the end of the reef on low tide, or through the village was pure joy..! The menu is well designed, so both adults and kids will always have smth of their taste. Feeling safe in every sense (and quite pampered to be honest), we had the opportunity to truly rest! To sum it all, with the most important note: the people make this place of what it is! Stacey, Ezekiel, the Chef and Alex are not just employees doing their best, they are genuine, kind people & we truly hope that we'll meet again ❤️

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.

Hotel look good but food is very bad ,service very poor,staff looks confused with no experience no uniform for staff wearing dirty shoes like slippers Filling drinking water direct from the tap instead of having dispenser.Having 1 chef in such hotel is stressing guard at the gate work in every section no supervisor who guide staff in the hotel. U need to fence swimming pool near rooms because of little kids to avoid kids to enter swimming pool direct from the room.staff serving customers without shoes

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.

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.

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 :-)

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.
