Staying at Babylon Gardens was exactly what I needed after four days of safari. Markus and all the staff are so kind, attentive, and lovely, making your stay at their accommodation a true oasis. The food is great, and the rooms are actually small apartments with a living area, an open kitchen, and a bedroom. The bedroom has air conditioning, and the bathroom is very spacious! You can swim in the pool whenever you need a refreshing break. Spacious apartments, AC, a swimming pool, great food, always cold beer, and the wonderful company of Markus and the staff, so what more could you ask for? Would I come back? If I travel to Diani again, absolutely! Vielen Dank, Markis! Bis nächstes Mal!

Mavericks Convenient Cozy Loft in Diani's CBD

Hotel in Ukunda

I am going to wax lyrical on the best place that I have rented. The situation right on Diani Beach Road gives access to bank/ATM and supermarket 5 minutes walk (turn right on exiting the property) Turn left and walk for one minute to reach a really nice Italian restaurant (Leonardo's) The food is excellent, prices well below other establishments and what you would pay in the UK. The host of the apartment is friendly, charming and very helpful. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. There is a balcony set off the kitchen area. Prop open the door for warm Kenyan air but please remember to close the screen door to oppose mosquitoes and keep the monkeys out ! There is a washing machine available which is really handy for longer stays and a regular cleaning lady. The bed has a mosquitoe net and is very comfortable. If you have a car, there is good security. For the price and locatiuon this is a must have deal. As the Terminator famously said "I will be back ! "

The lodge is situated in an absolutely stunning location, offering a serene and tranquil environment that is perfect for peace, introspection, and reconnecting with nature. The setting is truly breathtaking, with a sense of quiet that allows guests to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of the surroundings. The staff’s warmth, care, and attention to detail are truly commendable. A special mention goes to JACOB and DINAH, whose exceptional hospitality and professionalism made our stay unforgettable. Their dedication to ensuring every aspect of our experience was seamless is deeply appreciated. We were particularly impressed by the lodge’s commendable efforts in coral reef restoration, addressing the impact of bleaching, and its commitment to education and advocacy for marine conservation. This initiative adds a meaningful layer to the already wonderful experience, allowing guests to witness and support the positive impact of sustainable practices. We will certainly return and highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with a purpose. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so memorable!

It was really a very special and unique experience to stay at Blue Monkey. Everything is simple but well thought through, so I wasn't missing anything. The solar panel allowed to keep the phone charged even though the place is not grid connected, showering with the bucket is no problem. Ismail is the most friendly and helpful host you could imagine. He showed me the village, helped organize a snorkel tour and had a lot to tell about the history of the place and the village. Wasini island is stunning with coral reefs, mangrove forests, dolphins swimming nearby. Overall, highly recommended!

    Amazing place! We even got a room upgrade: we booked the cottage and we were offered to go to Hemingways suite which was absolutely fantastic, with a private pool on the rooftop. The pools, both the private and the shared ones, were clean and nice. The staff is very kind and always available: they can recommend good and convenient options for visiting the marine national park. The lodge is on a beach with mangroves: don't expect to chill on the white sand of Diani, it's completely a different environment, with mangrove ecosystems and lot of conservation efforts. The food was also good. We ate abundantly at dinner and breakfast, and the staff was available to satisfy our requests and exigencies. The restaurant on the terrace, with sofa, and lot of books, makes it a perfect place to chill and relax. You can reach the KWS office (to take the boat for the marine park with a 15-minutes walk through Shimoni Village, which is small but super characteristic. We highly suggest to visit it for a very local experience. The Shimoni Slaves Caves are less than 10 minutes walking. Strongly recommended and thanks a lot for such nice hospitality.

    This place is a hidden gem. I love it and wish I could've stayed longer. The room was phenomenal, it was clean and spacious. The bed was so comfortable. The beach is less than one minute away from the room. There is also enough option on the a la carte menu and the food is very tasty. The girls working at this place (Melvinmachira, Benedette and Cynthia) are so friendly and helpful. They made this place extra special! :) If you are lucky you can see some monkeys whenever you are at the pool or in the trees.

    The rooms were renovated and upgraded, the food was amazing, now daily seafood at lunch time was added and sushi in the evenings. That is what we need at the beach. They have received the travel life certificate and use glass bottles in the rooms and don't replace towels if not needed. The staff as usual very welcoming and friendly.

    Its a nice place with a beautiful beach with clear blue water. Water in the apartments are however salty, I assume its because of the beach surrounding the area. Food and activities are expensive around this area.

    Perfect.

    Perfect. I wrote a previous outstanding review but Booking.com only posted my two comments from “suggested improvements”, which were inconsequential but gave a negative impression. The property was lovely, steps from an amazing white sandy beach fringed with coconut palms. I loved lolling on the comfy cushions on the roof terrace in the evenings. Cecilia who looked after us was amazing and a great cook. Her fish curries were to die for. The bed was comfy and the mosquito nets a great asset. The community pool was well maintained with a fabulous on site masseuse, Habiba. Amazing relaxing vacation would highly recommend.

    The island was great. People very friendly. The only negative part was when I went for a walk on the island, one woman asked me what I was doing there. When I replied just looking, she told me to look cost money and I should come to the office to pay, which was total BS!

    Mostly private resorts however not far from Diani and accessible from Mombasa. The Likoni Ferry (which is the only way from Mombasa Island to the south) can take some time to cross- we took almost three hours when we first arrived.

    Ukunda itself is full of different kind of problems, but if we specifically talk about Diani, situation is different. Seaview access hotels are in general above average except, Flamboyant, Safari Beach and Seabreeze of which have many issues. Pricing 80$ to 500$ US. Then in Galu beach lies horrible trap places like this ghastly Coconut Village with incompetent teenagers left as managers. The second strip hotels are passable with pricing 35$ to 120$, but usually lack service ability and professional staff. The beach is very beautiful, but people around hotels hustling bring the experience down even bad.

    You will need a mosquito repellet especially in the evenings. Fortunately, there was one in the house we could use when we first got there before we could purchase one! Thanks to the host! You need to pre-arrage your movement from Tiwi to wherever you want to go as there is no public transport nearby. The host however had contacts for a reliable driver that was very helpful!
