The hotel’s central location makes it convenient for exploring nearby restaurants and attractions. The property is clean, the food is decent, and the staff are warm and accommodating, which enhances the overall experience. That said, while the hotel still maintains a good standard, it’s not quite as impressive as when it first opened, with some visible signs of wear and tear. However, this doesn’t significantly impact the stay, and I would return for the convenience it offers. One downside is that the beach isn’t as great as other spots along the Diani coastline. Overall, a solid choice for its location and service.

Great gardens, wonderful staff and beautiful beachfront. The food is excellent and choices cover vegetarian needs. The only slight downside was the room. Some rooms need updating and our sink wasn’t well cleaned. There was a smell in the shower after use as well. Overall, I would go back.

This is a very nice property with a lot of amenities. The staff, however, is not overly accommodating. For instance, I asked for more water for our room and I was told that I was only to have two bottles and then if I wanted any more water, I would have to either order it from room service or get it myself from the bar or go across the street to the grocery store. There were a lot of little things like this, and It seemed every time we asked for some thing or needed something the answer was often no. Overall, though it is a good property and I would recommend it.

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!).

Horrible experience, ruin your holiday if you go
Had the worst experience ever. Our travel agent told us that hw was booking us on southern palms but i was adamant i wanted to stay here and went ahead to book myself through hotels.com At first they werent clear if we are on half board or full and guided us according to full board to later charge for the lunches we thought were complimentary. The staff was rude, very impolite and their communication was very poor. Its not a matter of money, its the experience but they didnt seem to care much for the guest experience. They have thousands of very bad reviews but i only saw them after checking in

The property is beautiful architectural wise, but it’s not kept in a good condition…. The rooms are not clean at all I mean at all…. The worst food ever and very bad quality very low quality food to a point everyone on the property tourists that I met were complaining about it ….. The chef and the team have no idea what they are cooking… They must win an award for best tasteless food in Kenya…
