My husband and I really enjoyed honeymooning at Swahili Beach resort. The service was exceptional and the food options were very delicious. Please note that there is no all-inclusive drink package so drinks you do have to pay for a la carte. Very nice amenities and beautiful room. Beach access directly in front of the resort and a lovely spa. We would definitely recommend staying here! There are monkeys in the area so just be mindful of leaving room windows open or food unattended near the swimming pool areas (monkeys are fast!).

The hotel offers excellent amenities, including a stunning multi-level swimming pool. The rooms are charming and traditionally designed, though the bathrooms and floors could use more attention to cleanliness. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. Overall, it's a fantastic place to stay.

The property is beautiful architectural wise, but it’s not kept in a good condition…. The rooms are not clean at all I mean at all…. The worst food ever and very bad quality very low quality food to a point everyone on the property tourists that I met were complaining about it ….. The chef and the team have no idea what they are cooking… They must win an award for best tasteless food in Kenya…

Very nice end to our safari. We came here to relax and enjoy the coast. Our room had a beautiful view of the ocean, our food was great, we had wonderful spa treatments and were fully relaxed while there. It's an older property but is maintained well. Very beautiful grounds overall. The beach location was not the best stretch in Diani I've seen (nature is nature) but that doesn't take away from the overall beauty of the resort.

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.

Wonderful property
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.
