Raquel's Bliss Hotel Diani ★★★

📍 Road, Diani Beach Raquel s Bliss Diani, Diani Beach

"I enjoyed my stay at this property, particularly its location approximately one kilometer from the beach, which made it convenient to access the shoreline. While there are no restaurants on-site or in the immediate surrounding area, the overall experience was pleasant. The stay was comfortable, and I found it to be a good option overall."

Mzima Beach Residences - Diani Beach ★★★★

📍 Galu Kinondo, Diani Beach Road, South Coast, Galu

"The hotel is located on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, the staff is very friendly, there are two swimming pools, a restaurant with a personal chef and fresh ingredients, and everything is thought out to the smallest detail. The only downside was weak Wi-Fi in some areas of the apartment, but the staff tried to resolve it quickly, and I think they'll fix it. Thank you very much for a wonderful vacation, and we'll definitely be back! They also have an excellent spa and gym with all the necessary equipment."

The Villa Luxury Suites Hotel Hotels in Diani Beach

The Villa Luxury Suites Hotel

"Antonio has created a truly fabulous villa destination. All the staff are wonderful and really go out of their way to help you. There are so many little touches made that set this hotel apart from the rest. It’s not a chain and it shows with all the personal touches. The rooms gave us plenty of space with a fridge and tea, coffee making facilities. The location was ideal for us just a short distance from the beach. Tuk Tuks are available in great numbers so you never have to wait long if you hail one….they’ll see you. The hotel will even book one for you if you don’t want to walk to the road. It’s such a shame to have pack up and move on. A brilliant place to stay"

Diani Reef Beach Resort & Spa - Your Beachfront Bliss Awaits

"The hotel didn't disappoint! It's very good for Africa. The beach is clean, with a little seaweed, but nothing too bad compared to other hotels. The staff is very polite and helpful. The security is fantastic. We booked full board. The food was good. Chicken, lamb, and beef. Fruit was included. Drinks at lunch and dinner are extra. The WiFi was good. One downside: checkout is at 10:00 AM. The tide was low, so we walked along the reef and watched the marine life. There were lots of monkeys. There were even some colabi living across from the hotel."

Southern Palms Beach Resort Hotels in Diani Beach

"Very nice, food is great, especially the Indian food, chef Kamal is great, fantastic location. The animation team is very good, never cancel anything. So, water aerobics, water volley ball, beach volley ball, perfect if you want an active holiday. Loud music every night until 11 pm, a bit boring though."

"Incredibly beautiful... clean, quiet, well-maintained, great pool, huge room... ONLY: far away from everything, you always need a vehicle (tuk-tuk, etc.). Super friendly, helpful staff, very family-run, and a fantastic garden..."

"The experience was so memorable. The staff were so good and kind. The swimming pool was so clean and amazing, however it would be nice if the management would allow night swimming as long as the guests took care of their own safety."

"The room was large and comfortable, and the location was good. Although there was no sea view, it was only a seven-eight-minute walk from the seaside. However, you need to communicate well about breakfast, the restaurant is also relatively expensive, and the prices of drinks, etc. are not low."

"We had a lovely stay at the hotel. The ambiance was beautiful, peaceful, and very relaxing. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The main area that needs improvement is the food department. There was very little variety in the meals, and the menu became repetitive, especially for guests staying several days. Adding more food options and improving the selection would greatly enhance the overall guest experience. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel for its great atmosphere. With more variety in the food, it would be an even better"

"Great experience during a girls trip staycation Check in was a bit slow with the heavy check in. Given an early checking in on complimentary basis which made the check in experience a plus. The food was great from breakfast, lunch and dinner. The ambience during meals was impeccable. Joseph, Omari, John, Beka(from the entertainment crew), Ali (The french speaking gentleman) and James at the concierge all made our staycation worthwhile. Thanks and we will be back! From; L&N "

"Overall, it's a decent all-inclusive hotel. It's on the beachfront, with a clean sandy beach and some sea grass. The staff is very friendly. The food is a bit repetitive and lacks variety. Checkout is at 10am, which is disappointing."

Mzima Beach Residences - Diani Beach ★★★★
"It was the best weekend in Diani Beach Kenya – a reminder of this little beach town in the sun at its most open, vibrant and welcoming. After two days immersed in The B.A.G, eating too much food, drinking coconut water, bumping into old friends from the city, and skanking to Amapiano, Afrobeats, reggae and dancehall, I was left smiling at an event that has culturally crossed the YouTube screens into a music odyssey of big tune selections, dazzling 'baddies', premium ambience, and a lavish experience powered by Hennessy. It was a celebration of contemporary East African youth culture. Saturday belonged to nostalgia. The triumphant intro of DJ Lyta's "Hot Grabba" nostalgic intro announced the live set recording on Saturday night, day one of the festival. That unmistakable introduction.For many Kenyans, the opening seconds of DJ Lyta's Hot Grabba mixes are instantly recognisable. They belong to an era when reggae and dancehall mixtapes were passed from phone to phone, burned onto CDs and played in matatus, hostels and barbershops across the country. Diani-based DJ Scrappie had masterfully opened the party with his impeccable, high-energy selections after some technical hitches with the sound and power. DJ Lyta has been a voice of Reggae and Dancehall since the early 2010s – a procession of millennials and Gen Z crowds pay respect to his "Hot Grabba" mix series.  In 2023, Lyta reflected on the impact of Hot Grabba Vol. 2, released in May 2013:  "This Mix Hot Grabba Vol 2 Changed My Life... I duplicated CD copies and took them to the streets and the rest is history."  More than a decade later, that history still resonates. Flanked by a bevy of beauties, DJ Lyta, who was announced weeks earlier as the headline act for the opening night, lived up to expectations making the foundations of the stage tremble with classic Caribbean dancehall. Afrobeats, Kenya's rebel Arbantone and Gengetone sounds dominated his set. Classic Caribbean dancehall blended with Afrobeats, Gengetone and Arbantone in a set that constantly shifted between generations. Every pull-up drew louder cheers. Every reload became another shared memory. Songs people hadn't heard in years suddenly returned with every lyric intact. The brutally fashionable crowd grinds and dances all night long with Lyta putting a packed crowd on the sand through its paces. Each corner offered another pocket of intimacy, joy and community. This night instilled camaraderie within friend groups, especially in the quieter moments. Groups wandered between the bars, the beachfront and the dancefloor. The best events create memories on stage; the greatest ones create them between strangers. Meanwhile, DJ Malaika was on point veering off into mixing Afropop, Bongo and Kenyan party anthems into a crowd-pleasing, spectacular morning dash toward a Diani Galu Beach sunrise set. As dawn approached, DJ Malaika guided the remaining crowd.Sunday unfolded differently. Where Saturday celebrated nostalgia, Sunday celebrated"
