This hotel is a hidden gem. The peaceful, secluded setting is perfect for unwinding and the staff go above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. I felt at home immediately and left feeling refreshed and relaxed. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a calm and welcoming retreat.

“Exceptional Service, Incredible Food, and Total Tranquility”
We had a wonderful stay in Diani Beach, and what truly made it special was the incredibly service‑minded and friendly staff. They went above and beyond in everything they did, and since we were almost the only guests at the time, we received full attention in the best possible way. The food was absolutely amazing - every meal felt thoughtful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, this is the perfect spot. The atmosphere is calm, relaxed, and ideal for unwinding. It’s worth noting that the beach right outside has quite a bit of seaweed, so it’s not the best place for swimming. But if your priority is tranquility, great service, and fantastic food, this place delivers on all of it.

“Small piece of paradise”
Sonrisa is a hidden gem..tranquil, quite, serene,peaceful,name it! The Estate is small and intimate making the staff have an eye to detail. The villas are exceptionally clean and tastefully furnished. I loved the fact that they provide breakfast substitutes for you to prepare at your own time...so no need to rush for breakfast. The location is far off Diani, but that was not a problem. The hotel is kid friendly and my son had a blast staying there. The meals are extremely tasty....the list is endless. Sonrisa EXCEEDED my expectations. Antonia is kind and very helpful. We loved our stay and cant wait to come back soon.

“Loved the experience.”
We loved having the property to ourselves and being treated like friends by Antonia and everyone else of the staff. The place is beautiful out of the noise of the bars and restaurants that are north of the property. Spacious villas, nice pool and comfy sunbeds. They replenished our fridge every day with fruits and eggs and left us fresh bread. We also got a lovely candlelit dinner by the pool, all excellently cooked. Ask Antonia for activities nearby (snorkeling, water sports, excursions) and she will advise and organize on your behalf too. Would certainly rebook.

Quiet! The villa was spacious and comfortable with aircon in both the bedroom and living area. Appreciated the daily bread with fruit and eggs - the passion fruit was lovely! Loved the music and vibe by the lounge/pool area. Staff were attentive and helpful.

“Amazing stay. Would definitely recommend”
Very friendly and hospitable staff, clean rooms and facilities, amazing views of the ocean, serene and private. Antonia (host) was always on hand to assist in case of any issues and easily reachable and went out of her way to make sure we had a pleasant stay. Small extra touches such as daily change of flowers in the rooms, new fruits placed in the fridge every day was so thoughtful and much appreciated. The food was always freshly made and the candlelit night dinner by the pool was so romantic and enjoyable.

Sonrisa is a gem of a place in Diani. It is further down south on Gala beach and has a beatiful garden, massive pool and private access to the beach and all the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The beach right at the hotel is not the best for swimming because of some rocks but all you need to do is walk a few minutes up the beach. We stayed in the 1-bedroom villa and the kitchen was well equipped and some basics were provided in the fridge. There is a small bistro with a selection of meals available, but one day a week the chef is not available. There are plenty of food options a short walk away on the beach.
