This is more for Expedia. You need to provide the facility confirmation number. Your confirmation number means nothing to them. Most of my problems wasn’t hotel. It was Expedia !!

Beautiful hotel and property. Excellent food and service. The first day we did not have hot water, but the front desk was very responsive and took care of the issue right away. The only negative was being solicited by aggressive vendors on the beach. At one point there were 16 individuals milling around, waiting for tourists to make their to the beach.

This time all was good. The service and friendly staff ensured a really nice and relaxing stay. I could relax and enjoy my scuba diving. Also, internet was working well in the room I had this time. Stayed a week.

For an average of $280 CAD a night this place is absolutely overrated and shouldn’t be posted at that price. The food variety is terrible and very poor. The towels (bathroom and beach) need an upgrade ASAP, after a shower the towels can really scratch you badly! The beach towels seems very overworn and even dirty as they are very old. The worst part is the minimum protection for the sun provided by this hotel to their guests who obviously come to the area to enjoy the beach. They have 16 or 17 beach umbrellas set in the front beach and, even if you get up extremely early (today I was out at 5:50am to get one), they were all “taken”. This really makes me think these German guests just pay for them and their spots (same every day). There are only towels at the chairs, you don’t see these senior guests until later on to come occupy their chairs under these limited umbrellas. My spouse and I travel a lot, and we have stayed at different all inclusives but definitely this one is not worth this price. If I pay an average of $280 CAD a night, I expect a certain standard and that’s not the case. Unfortunately due to another unexpected change in our trip we had to stay one more night here. Paid directly to the property via credit card and it is close to $300 CAD a night but we had to do it. The restaurant and bar staff are friendly, they are probably the best thing this hotel has. I hope Expedia can do something about it and a realistic summary of the property is displayed.

This resort is tucked away in Diani and the perfect place for a peaceful vacation. It is clean and quiet and the staff was amazing. Enjoyed the nightly shows and how small it was making it a very intimate setting. Highly recommend if you are looking to get away from commotion and relax

Slow check in
Check in was Unnecessarily very slow. And when we had to call the front desk for some help, they said they would be there immediately and took over 45 minutes.

Rather somewhere else next time
Frequent visitor to Diani but first choice (Diani Reef Beach resort) was full. Location great part of beach. Pool big and plenty of loungers. Pool bar good for the all incl bevies. Rooms clean. But, grounds in need of a good tidy, very "rustic" vergibg on shabby. Meals were ok, but flies were plenty. Biggest let down was attitude of the gen manager , John, on my 5th night a friend drove over as we were going out for dinner..i was quite happy to pay for drinks etc but pre going out, and swim in the sea , but the GM chased us down and demanded we pay an extra night for using the facilities. Such as the sea!. It was very Falty Towers, but was complete jobs worth and vad customer relations (in the end we paid us50 so my friend could stay over in my room, originally he wanted the same rare as i had paid..to share!...nb the 50 we paid by card not cash, as the cash would have gone in his pocket...sums it up).

Delightful!
We've been to many places up and down Diani over the years, and our experience here was a 9 or 10 - absolutely delightful because of the people, the food, the all-inclusive, the gorgeous stretch of beach, the two evening dinners out by the pool under the starlight and more. The property is older and needs investment in the rooms, but the value for money was great for us. We would definitely consider going again.
