Swahili Beach resort - HERO

Wow wow wow, we travelled from Nairobi to Diani and I was slightly apprehensive after seeing some reviews online but Swahili beach deserves all of their flowers. Welcome drinks and lavender towels on arrival. 

This resort is amazing and felt like a dream. Really romantic and perfect place to come as a couple to unwind and connect. Food was really delicious too, loads to choose from. I suggest doing half board, the hotel is set up so beautifully you will not want to leave.

Overall staff were lovely although some a bit standoffish at times. 

Bring mosquito spray because I was bitten relentlessly here

Special shoutout to the ladies at the spa, we went for a couples massage and it was hands down best we’ve had.

Diani Paradise

My husband and I came here after our safari as part of an anniversary trip to Kenya. We are so happy that this is the resort we picked. Everything was perfect for our three night trip. Each staff member was incredibly friendly and helpful. 

The one downside for us was that check in took about an hour. We were unlucky that our safari transfer arrived just after many other people did (we think it was an airport transfer from Mombasa). The staff were great, friendly with hot hand towels, a delicious mocktail, and tea. There was just a bunch of paperwork and lots of people so it took a long time.

Our room was lovely. It was just above the restaurant which we really liked because we could roll out of bed and go to the restaurant (or easily get a drink to bring to the room). Sometimes we could hear music from within our room but it wasn't really a big deal. I loved the view of the pool. There room was a good temperature, comfortable to relax in and we loved sitting on the balcony. The bathroom was great, the bathtub was super comfortable. 

The food was fantastic. We really appreciated the buffet but only were there for one dinner. It was great for each breakfast. Taking advantage of being able to use the specialty restaurants with half board, we went to the Indian restaurant which was criminally underused. We felt bad that we couldn't finish our food there but the food was so filling and delicious. We wish we could have tried more of the half board restaurants but just didn't have enough days. The beach restaurant also had some good food. The food and drinks overall were really good which was an unexpected surprise. 

Most of our time was spent by the pool. There were lots of available pool chairs and the water was the perfect amount of cold for the hot days. We mostly would go in the morning and split our time between the pool chairs and being in the actual pool. I managed to swim laps in it at one point though the pool is perfect for it's intended purpose - relaxation. I was nervous we would get bored but honestly we almost felt like we did not have enough time!

Now to move on to one of the other underrated parts of the resort, the spa. Hidden away (with some of the best views of the Ocean from the resort) it was an oasis within an oasis. We did the Swahili Couple's Journey and think it may have been the best spa treatment of our life. The spa is a beautifully architectured building and we loved getting to hear the waves throughout our treatment. The scrub made our skin so smooth (helpful after lots of sunscreen and deet over a week) and the massage was super relaxing. It felt throughout the massage they were using the benefits of lots of techniques to make an incredible massage where every part of my body was able to relax. We loved sitting with our glass of wine afterwards. 

This is all and all to say that we had an absolutely exceptional experience. While this review is long, I hope it gives details to why I may just have been converted to the resort holiday life now. If I may have a few more words, let me end with a thank you to every incredible staff member for using their friendliness and skills to ensure a terrific holiday. Thank you for an incredible holiday.

The perfect resort holiday

The property infrastructure wise is too good.Hospitality from the staff is good but lack of day to day amenities like adapter not available,dental kits not available,no conditioner available. The pool floor has slime settled on it, although it was being cleaned regularly. Adapters across the world are available on credit from the hotel. They make us buy from the souvenir shop. Mosquito repellent is missing in the room.minbar is empty. Not the most satisfying experience at the hotel.

Huge and beautiful property but lacking amenities

are frequent international travellers. We are staying here for 2 nights with kids in a family room full board... it is so strange to know in this resort.. We asked for a convertor to charge our devices.. They said it's not available and we have to buy it!!! Really!!! Ultimatemy we bought it... Then in the night kids were thirsty.. We called for water.. The guy at the reception told.. Ur allowed only 6 bottles of water in day...so ull have to get it billed in the bar... It's really sad and shocking to have such a pathetic mentality of the management.. of such a beautiful five star property!!!!

Beautiful property... Pathetic services

The staff from Front desk,to the restaurants were very welcoming,nice and professional.Their smiles will make you feel at home.Special thanks to Philemon,Marietta,Conny and Ronald ,they will brighten your day anytime.Everyone exceeded my expectations.
