  You remain my first choice in Diano always.

  I returned after 10 years and what can I say, probably even better than I remembered it; mind you, it is a simple hotel and at times even a bit dated, but the atmosphere, the attention to the customer, and the quality of the dining make it unique.

  Disappointed by health hazards and overpricing during a medical emergency

  I am specifically leaving a 2-star review to bring these issues to management's attention. We are currently staying at the hotel, and despite a lot of beautiful aspects of the resort and service (such a surprised room upgrade), we have already experienced several deeply disappointing moments. Firstly, I had a medical emergency and needed assistance from the reception with a hospital appointment. I was in significant pain after twisting my ankle (by the way, on unmarked hotel stairs) and requested a taxi. When I directly asked about the price, the receptionist told me that the payment would be settled later and that the driver would generously wait for me at the hospital. It sounded like great care, until the driver demanded 2,000 KES for the trip from the hotel to Diani Beach Hospital, plus an additional 1,000 KES for a mere 6-minute drive to a restaurant after collecting my family from hotel for lunch. I find it hard to believe that the hotel staff chose to exploit a medical emergency to overcharge their clients by 2 to 3 times the local rate. The second major disappointment—about which I have already emailed management—is that this luxury hotel allowed external "cat volunteers" to use guest facilities alongside families with children from 10 AM to 5 PM. This included them using guest beach towels, washrooms, and the swimming pool right after handling hotel cats with clear, severe skin conditions. I understand these "volunteers" overused the staff's hospitality, but permitting such a sanitary breach when guests pay enormous amounts of money to stay here shows that something is definitely wrong. The hotel urgently needs to organize proper professional veterinary care for the cats on their territory instead of relying on unprofessional volunteering services. There are families, children, and babies here!

  First time in Africa!!

  We were here as a family of 5 and booked 4 nights into room with 1 queen sized bed and 3 single beds in the other. We were picked up promptly from airport and driven to the hotel which was included in our package. Friendly staff who were always welcoming and helpful at all times!! Breakfast included in our package , this was a decent spread of food that was sumptuous and filling!! Facing the beach that was very pleasant in the mornings!! We generally were too full so skipped our lunches and went to the dinners in same area!! Again, good food with limited vegetarian options. There is a pool bar with good food and drinks!! At 4 pm every day complimentary tea and snacks were served by the pool. We spent most of our times outdoors- gym/pool/body boarding and surfing in the beach, playing cards/games by the pool. There is an activity centre where we booked our snorkelling trip to a sandbank that was 15-20 min from the resort. The beach is clean and 2 miles long so those who wish to walk or jog will enjoy themselves!! Drawbacks : 1) no game rooms- board games/Tabletennis and similar stuff that we had in other resorts. 2) Likewise there is a small library that didn’t have any English books. 3) Please be mindful of people by the beach ( not private) who will try to sell you stuff at an exorbitant price!!! 4) Towncentre is a 10 min drive by Tuk-Tuk ( charged around 50 KS per person) but again beware as some people may fleece you. 5) There are few restaurants, merchandise shops, and a dept store that sells plenty of stuff ( but we didn’t use it) On the whole, friendly relaxing stay for the entire family and worth the money!!
