The staff were very patient, friendly, and accommodating. They were very hospitable. I enjoyed my stay here. There are a lot of monkeys on the resort fyi but they don’t bother the guests. The WiFi wasn’t as strong in my room but other than that I enjoyed my stay.

The spa was excellent, the ambiance of the resort is great It would have been helpful if breakfast was served until 11 AM not 10 AM, as you have to be out of your room by 10 The beach outside the hotel is dissapointing, but you can walk along for a few hundred metres and get the nice beach It was my girlfriends birthday whist we were there, they noticed and did two special treats for her All in all, a great experience, I really do recommend the seafood platter at the beach bar

The resort is beautiful. The buildings; the gardens; the pools; the food - all spectacular. Very peaceful. Delicious food in all the restaurants!! World class buffet breakfast and dinners. The staff - some were excellent and some weren't very friendly. The gardeners, in particular, were so knowledgeable about the flowers and trees - we really enjoyed learning from them.

Impeccable! This resort is beautiful and the architecture is so unique and intriguing. The rooms are beautiful and spacious. I've never stayed at a resort with so much character. The amenities are great. The breakfast options are tasty. The pool is beautiful and big so you can get your own private space. The floating bean bags in the water are so comfortable. I actually feel asleep on one. The only thing I'd like to point out is... the beach on the resort isn't as nice as others. You may want to walk down to other beaches if you want white sand and blue water. But this is not a deal breaker at all. Gives an excuse to walk and see other neighboring beaches.

🌴 A Destination in Itself – Beautiful Design, Great AC, a True “Wow” Hotel Arrival & First Impressions On arrival, we were greeted with a refreshing welcome drink called Dawa Sawa (lime juice, honey, and soda – 550 KES). It was so good I ordered it several times during our stay. We also received a helpful briefing and tour of the property, which immediately set the tone for a special experience. Architecture & Atmosphere Swahili Beach Resort is truly a destination in itself. Designed in the 1970s by Polish-born architect Zbigniew Trzebinski and Slovakian Tibor Gaal, the property is a stunning showcase of coastal design and remains one of the most impressive resorts on the Kenyan coast. Photos and videos simply don’t do it justice – this is a genuine “wow” hotel. Rooms & Rates I paid $2,390 through Expedia for three nights in two king rooms (#115 & #116). Rooms are spacious, with mosquito netting, strong Wi-Fi, and excellent air conditioning. Views are limited due to lush mature vegetation, but that greenery adds to the tropical setting (and keeps mischievous monkeys nearby – keep balcony doors closed!). Bathrooms feature powerful rain showers with strong water pressure (caution: hot water runs very hot). Tuk-tuks are available right outside the resort, and there’s a complimentary shuttle to Diani Airport. Dining Food here was the best we had during our 10 days in Kenya. The resort offers both half-board and full-board options across four restaurants.
