From the moment we arrived at Diani Reef Beach Resort & Spa, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome and looked after. Every member of the team was warm, attentive and incredibly professional – nothing was ever too much trouble. What stood out most for us was how personal the service felt: friendly smiles, remembering our preferences, and always checking that we were comfortable and enjoying our stay. They created a relaxed, homely atmosphere while still being very efficient. The room was spotless and well presented, the grounds are beautifully kept, and the facilities are excellent – but it’s really the people who take this hotel to another level. We left feeling very well cared for and would happily return. Highly recommended.

Me and my wife loved the stay there. The rooms were cool after a long day in the sun, the beds were very comfortable and the staff were all very friendly. The food and bars on the resort are the best we’ve had at a hotel.

Great location but the web site is not reflecting the current condition. The hotel and pool, gardens, accommodation all require total renovation and maintenance. The hotel suite was dated, poor condition, missing tiles in bathroom, mouldy and generally very tired. The cleaners worked hard and the staff were friendly but apparently the owners are interested in spending the money that is required to refurbish the hotel and ammenities. The pool bar is empty has no glasses, drinks or staff. The food is disappointing, cold, incorrect many times and quality overall below par. The menu was very limited and generally the food tasteless. Really wish we didn’t book the hotel and definitely not full board. We reported several times to the staff but apparently the Chef advised he didn’t care what the customers said he only reported to his boss. To make it worse the cleaner didn’t lock the patio doors on one occasion and the suite was invaded by monkeys that took everything from fruit, crisps, chocolate, drinks etc… defecated all over the suite, broke glasses and left monkey blood on the floor, bedding, bathroom, etc is was disgusting and took the cleaners 3hrs to clean…. All the affected clothes had to be specially cleaned and as a result I received an infection to my hands resulting in horrible blisters and now been treated by the Tropical Disease Center in London. Sadly there are much better hotels close by that we visited and wish we hadn’t paid upfront.
