“a little paradise”
The hotel is unique. The resort is located a little outside of Diani Beach. We spent three wonderful days on the beach. The food was exceptional. I have never experienced such friendly service! I hope we can come back soon

“Brilliant week of relaxing after safari holiday.”
Everything was wonderful. We particularly liked the Mongolian food night. Not Mongolian at all, but help yourself to various meat, fish and veg. Then stir fried for you and finished with rice or pasta with appropriate sauces.

“Unfair ratings and price, luck of water, electricity and safety.”
Mzima Beach was our first out of three hotels in Kenya. Compacting to others it is not a 5* hotel as mentioned in booking.com. This is such a guest house without proper kitchen, luck of water or electricity. The house is overpriced and has unfair ratings, which I honestly think is corrupting by management according to the situation which happened to me in this guest house. One of the cleaners Omar Kai or Elizabeth Kiaka is stole my headphones from the bad while cleaning the room. My husband was inside the house, and they just took it while setting up the bad. Headphones were connected to my phone and I could see how they moved from the Mzima Beach and were moving around the city the whole day. When I asked GM Stephen to make an action, he was unhelpful. They took screenshots from my phone and just made me he conclusion report about the action. My statement about complaint to booking.com did not work as GM said he knows the owner and he will do nothing to a stuff as they are working long time in the house. I honestly felt unsafe in this guest house. I would kindly ask booking.com check properly the hotels they are promoting, because this one is absolutely unfair in ratings and prices. P.S. There is near by Pinewood hotel, which in reality better in price and services, Al bough has only 4* on booking.com

“Great people in and outside of the resort”
Lovely gardens and great people. Peaceful location. The Community shop at the beach next to the resort offers lovely boat trips and snorkeling. Do not hesitate to get to know the locals and support their livelihood there.

“Superior and very Satisfied”
It is great place as locations is not too crowded and you feel that staff is personally care about you and your family. In few days you felt familiar and welcomed wherever you come. Great food and service during a day. Recommendation for improvement is for some live event in evenings. That will be nice but it is probably done as we did not spent time in main season there. One special point I want to highlight – we faced some issue with some Tour Operator outside of hotel and hotel manager provided us superior support far beyond her duty. One more time thank you for this. I am sure we will come back

“Lovely relaxing stay!”
The room was beautiful. The hotel itself was clean and looked after. The staff were friendly and polite. The food was excellent with lots of vegetarian options. There was a clearly labelled menu with what was included with AI and what would cost extra.
