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.
