    We stayed for three days at Leopard Beach Resort and had an absolutely amazing time. The highlight was the free upgrade to a beautiful cliffside cottage with a breathtaking view of the sea—it truly made our stay extra special. The staff was incredibly polite, warm, and helpful, making us feel welcome at every step. The property is stunning, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay here. Highly recommended for a peaceful and scenic getaway!

    Great place. The host organized freshly baked gluten free bread for us which was amazingly delicious. We had a spacious and quiet cottage. We enjoyed the use of the fridge and air conditioning. The electricity bill for 6 nights was very low, reasonable and below 10 dollars. Very kind staff. Clean pool. We rented a kayak nearby and went snorkeling by ourselves with low tide, which was amazing. Thank you!!

    This is our third stay at Bahari Dhow and it never fails to impress. The hotel represents amazing value for money. The rooms are spacious, the beds are comfy and the monkeys are cheeky. The breakfast is also amazing. The onsite Kite Surfing school is great and Hassan is the best teacher in Diani. We loved our stay as usual!!

    Powdery white sand that is very easy to walk on.

    Powdery white sand that is very easy to walk on. The reef about 500-600m offshore breaks the outer waves so inside the reef is moderately calm. Water shoes recommended due to sea urchins in some areas. A nice beach for walking, but you will be approached by vendors. A polite 'no' is usually sufficient. Several excellent places to eat along the stretch of beach where we stayed - Nomad's, Faulty's at the Flamboyant, Ali Barbour's Cave (reservation required), and Asha Boutique (Friday night beach buffet).

    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.

    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 :-)

    Diani beach is a great place to chill, relax, swim in warm ocean waters. Diani beach has a vibrant and eclectic nightlife , for those who want it. Getting around by tuk-tuk taxi is cheap and easy, the people are fab, But . . . don't go in May, or early June, it is very very rainy! December to March are best, Jan & Feb dryest by far. Enjoy.
