“Nice property the owners are based abroad and it needs full refurbishment”
Nice garden - peaceful and relaxing apart from Monkeys stealing the food One has to have eyes behind your back Can’t enjoy breakfast in peace and quiet due to Monkeys stealing the food from the plate

The Staff are lovely, the facilities are comfortable, we were there 8 nights, we were very happy. My sister and I went on a girl's vacay, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We felt safe at all times, the community are lovely. I can highly recommend Diani as a holiday destination.

I had the most incredible trip here. The property is so beautiful and green. The location is awesome, walking distance to the beach and a local place to buy fruits and veggies. The staff are also so warm and friendly, it is like a family.

“A much needed time out and reconnection to nature”
Due to an issue with our accommodation, we made a late night booking at the Upani which they accepted and ensured there was someone to meet/check us in. This was appreciated since other hotels in the area would not accept us so late at night. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed the serene and natural surroundings. The swimming pool was amazing. It felt like a warm bath that you didn’t want to get out of.
