Amazing place to relax. Swahili Hotel is just gorgeous, with a beautiful architecture and the design. All the corners are so beautiful with a unique touch of class and simplicity, and very clean. The staff is just amazing, super nice and always available to help us, with a smile on their face. The breaksfast has a lot of options, all types of food, swahili or not, with the employees preparing the food at the moment. The pool is enormous, and very clean. We stayed in a double room superior with ocean view, it was a really good experience! Outside the Hotel there’s a lot of option to have lunch/dinner, if you dont want to stay just in the hotel and want to know different places. When coming back to Diani beach, i will definitely stay again on Swahili!!

    We can’t be more grateful to have chosen Diani Palm Beach Resort. The management team, the reception team, the restaurant staff and all the rest of the staff are very professional, friendly and helpful. Part of the hotel is new. The pool is absolutely amazing and well looked. The rooms are soo good, always clean and well looked. I could even rate more than 10/10.

    It was an all inclusive property with a massive amount of choice for food and drinks. It is right next to the beach and has excellent pool. Further, the Baobab Resort is in a compound with two other properties and one can use the facilities of all three properties whiteout any restrictions. Finally, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I wished I could rate them 12 out of 10!

    You feel safe inside and it helps you relaxing. The service is really good, from room service for food to laundry and transportation arrangements. The Lemongrass restaurant is a very nice and romantic restaurant inside the resort. Worth visiting it even if you do not stay at the Leopard Beach Resort.

    The location for this resort, is wonderful. (It is right on the beach.) The grounds are amazing. Adding the ‘all inclusive food package,’ in our booking, was well worth it! Huge variety and in plentiful quantities. The pools are beautiful and well maintained. Staff are attentive and very friendly. The entertainment provided each night, is fabulous!

    I loved the friendly staff. The food was great. I particularly enjoyed the variety provided daily. The all-inclusive package was good value for money. The view around the resort is gorgeous. All the swimming pools are well kept and safe for everyone, including children. The general washrooms were very clean and maintained that way throughout the day. Overall, we had a great time staying here as a family.

    Baobab Beach Resort is an exceptional resort located right in Diani about 10 mins drive to the air strip. Staff were exceptional and went out of their way to assist. The meals were good too and there was tea and pizza in between meals. You had a choice of three restaurants even though they pretty much cooked the same food.
