The rooms were falling apart with paint peeling everywhere you look or touch. When we took a shower, it was an enormous smell of sulfur coming from the drain or water. The bed had bed bugs because my wife has small bites all over legs and arms even though we didn’t see a single mosquito there.

This is an older property that has not been remodeled in a decades. That being said, it was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The staff were very friendly but the service, especially for food was slow. Typically an hour to get food ordered off the menu. The food was fair and inconsistent (I ordered a hamburger 2 different days. 1st day, good, 2nd day, terrible.)

The place is tired and lacks a lot of things you usually get at other hotels. No sun umbrellas around the pool area they rely on the trees for shade. The waiter service is poor there too as you have to seek out a waiter and then it takes ages for food to arrive. At breakfast the bacon is kept hidden away and you have to ask for it whilst everything else is self service. Items run out and aren’t replaced. I will not be staying again

Disliked: Amenities

Rooms were clean, spacious, working AC and staff cleaned on a daily basis. Meals were deliciously prepared, loved the Swahili station. However, there needs to be a variety of drinks and desserts especially during tea time. Waiters also need to be more proactive in assisting guests. Most importantly, the hotel needs to provide activities for guests. The bars are boring, drink menu is very limited and no activities to keep people engaged.

The rooms were dumpy, we booked full board but got charged for water we drunk at the dinner table, our room had a fridge that didn't work, they promised to fix it on the second day we got there but they never fixed it. They advertise the place having a spar but there is no spar. We felt cheated by false advertisement.

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.
