8/10 Very good

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.

Second time around....

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.

Beautiful property and stunning rooms! Bathroom was also beautiful and really good hot shower! Loved the pool areas and multiple options for dining. Really good hospitality and all staff very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend this resort as one of the best on Diani Beach.
Shoeeb, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!).
