Booked last minute and was so pleasantly surprised by Diani Sea Lodge. The staff were beyond helpful and friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed yet with plenty of entertainment and the food was exceptional (we are still talking about how good it was). The room was spacious and comfortable with every amenity available. Would definitely recommend staying here if you’re in Diani.

Everything was perfect. Plenty of delicious food at breakfast and dinner. Lunch is easy at the outside bar/restaurant. The room was clean and had everything necessary. Of course the beach and lounge chairs were excellent. Loved everything about my time there. Every staff member was polite, respectful, professional and made sure every detail was taken care of.

I definitely rate this property 1000/10! It was clean, cool, calming and the environment was welcoming and interesting with so much to do that you won’t need to step outside. I enjoyed spending time at the beach, pool, bar and dining halls. Did I mention that the staff were friendly and helpful? I can’t wait to visit again!

Enjoyed my stay. The staff is pleasant and makes the experience superb. There are vendors that solicit once you step off the lodge and onto the beach. The staff does a terrific job of maintaining the privacy when on the property. You will see monkeys, who are approachable for photos, but please do not feed, as they will take this as an invitation to grab all of your food. The monkeys are not intrusive and the staff are ready to shooo the monkeys away, but of you feed them, then you have extended the invitation for them to take your food. Explore the city on a tuk tuk, and enjoy the local culture. While there, I experienced their famous barbershop service which includes a face massage, neck massage and hair wash. Enjoy your stay, sleep well. The bed was fabulous with a thick mosquito net. I didn’t experience many mosquitoes, I was there in early September. As with any all-inclusive, the menu begins to repeat, but I was there for 12 days. The food was delicious. I plan on returning again.

We upgraded to stay in a villa closest to the beach. Well worth the extra money! The resort is located right on Diani Beach. The beach and ocean views are breathtaking. There are many activities offered to the guests. We went scuba diving, glass bottom boat ride, rode a camel, jet skiing and played volleyball. The food and drinks were very good. You won't be hungry or thirsty during your stay. The staff are amazing. Edward from the front desk was very helpful and a pleasure to meet.
