Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed in Kenya (Nairobi, Mombasa, Diani Beach-2 hotels) for over 2 weeks and this is by far the highlight of our trip! We will definitely be back sometime over the next few months. The location, the ambiance, the designs, the rooms, the cleanliness, the beach, the location of the beach which is an open beach a few meters away from a social game and sports area, the food and again the food, the service and most importantly, the PEOPLE made this one of the best stays we’ve ever had. There are many restaurants in Diani but the food was so good that we would just keep coming back (sometimes after our first restaurant reservation elsewhere). The people there were fabulous (especially Stalix, Ibrahim and the managers are all dedicated to service you). Thank you we will be back!
