Overall Ratings & Reviews Swahili Beach Resort

Beautiful property with friendly and helpful staff.

This was my second time at Swahili Beach. The property and the pools are stunningly beautiful, the food is delicious, but the best part about the place is the lovely accommodating staff. Everyone is so kind and friendly.

I highly recommend this property. Excellent staff and management of the hotel. Very well trained staff. Lovely design with many pools and great beach access/ocean swimming.

Generally it's the best all round resort in Diani with very friendly stuff.

This property is very different from others, from the different choices of restaurants to the staff who make you feel very welcome and are absolutely great in general. The gardens,the pools, rooms etcs absolutely stunning. I've been always returning here after trying most of the highly rated resorts in Diani.

The hotel’s central location makes it convenient for exploring nearby restaurants and attractions. The property is clean, the food is decent, and the staff are warm and accommodating, which enhances the overall experience. That said, while the hotel still maintains a good standard, it’s not quite as impressive as when it first opened, with some visible signs of wear and tear. However, this doesn’t significantly impact the stay, and I would return for the convenience it offers. One downside is that the beach isn’t as great as other spots along the Diani coastline. Overall, a solid choice for its location and service.

Good facility

Swahili Beach Resort was a dream. Such a beautiful property & the food was very delicious from the beach side restaurant to the night dinner buffet . I will definetly stay here longer next time .i really enjoyed the live band and pool side bar. I will say that they need better customer service and better communication within the staffing .

Great, beautiful property! Amazing staff and amenities. They were extremely helpful with our special event.

Great gardens, wonderful staff and beautiful beachfront. The food is excellent and choices cover vegetarian needs. The only slight downside was the room. Some rooms need updating and our sink wasn’t well cleaned. There was a smell in the shower after use as well. Overall, I would go back.

This is a very nice property with a lot of amenities. The staff, however, is not overly accommodating. For instance, I asked for more water for our room and I was told that I was only to have two bottles and then if I wanted any more water, I would have to either order it from room service or get it myself from the bar or go across the street to the grocery store. There were a lot of little things like this, and It seemed every time we asked for some thing or needed something the answer was often no. Overall, though it is a good property and I would recommend it.

We had a fantastic stay at Swahili Beach Resort. The resort is stunning and thoughtfully designed, featuring a multi layered pool and beautifully crafted architecture throughout the rooms and hotel. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making our experience even more enjoyable. The only downside was the air con was quite noisy.

This was my first stay at the hotel and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff are friendly and welcoming, courteous, and efficient in their duties.

Our second stay at Swahili and 5 years later, it was every bit as fabulous as the first. The location and resort is beautiful. The staff here are wonderful and genuinely seem very happy - they are the absolute key to the success of the resort and we hope they are highly valued, from what we saw, this appears to be the case.

Nothing to add at this time.

I had limited time in the hotel. During that time every member of staff was kind, considerate, courteous and made me feel very well looked after. I would both recommend the hotel and hope to return.

The hotel was lovely and the staff were amazing and friendly! Highly recommend!

Amazing resort. I ate, swam, drank and relaxed. Only bad thing is they don't keep beach boys from harrassing you so I didn't go on beach. Security just watched them harrass people. Lovely rooms, great service.

My husband and I really enjoyed honeymooning at Swahili Beach resort. The service was exceptional and the food options were very delicious. Please note that there is no all-inclusive drink package so drinks you do have to pay for a la carte. Very nice amenities and beautiful room. Beach access directly in front of the resort and a lovely spa. We would definitely recommend staying here! There are monkeys in the area so just be mindful of leaving room windows open or food unattended near the swimming pool areas (monkeys are fast!).

Good variety of food and restaurants. Staff was very cordial and helpful. The railing on our balcony was in very poor condition and didn't look safe
