Everything was great with this hotel, from the view to the service. The beach is very beautiful and clean. There are quite a few of beach boys on the beach waiting to sell things to you. However if you tell them politely you’re not interested, they’ll leave you alone.
It’s very close to Ukunda airport, only 10min drive.
One major thing this resort needs to improve is the foods. The foods are no where close to a 5 star resort standard. They’re normal than normal. Limited varieties. This was the most disappointing part. However because of the superb view and services, I was able to enjoy the trip! Will definitely go back and hope the foods are good by then.
I noticed that many reviews mention the hotel not living up to a five-star standard. However, no one seems to complain that the price doesn’t match a five-star level either. In my opinion, this is an excellent hotel for the price.
The property is spacious, the rooms are fresh and cleaned daily, and amenities like slippers and bathrobes are provided. The staff is welcoming, and the breakfast offers a great variety. From 4 to 5 PM, there’s a complimentary tea and pastries service, which is a lovely touch. The beach is beautiful, with plenty of loungers equipped with soft cushions.
This is definitely a place I would consider returning to.
Большая красивая территория, на территории несколько бунгал, очень чисто и безопасно, отель стоит на одном из самых красивых пляжей в мире, весь персонал очень доброжелательный, два бассейна, ресторан с личным поваром и свежими продуктами, все продумано до мелочей. Из минусов было только одно - слабый вайфай в некоторых местах апартаментов, персонал пытался оперативно это решить, думаю они исправят этот момент. Спасибо большое за прекрасный отдых и мы обязательно вернемся! Еще там отличный СПА и тренажерный зал со всем необходимым оборудованиеи.
Swahili Beach Resort is a great all inclusive resort in Diani Beach in Kenya. It's perfect as a base for staying in the area, with everything you need included. The rooms are spacious, the staff are incredible (and I mean incredible - nothing is too much trouble for them, they are so polite and will really go to great lengths to help you).
The only issue is that if the resort puts you in a room that is different to what you've booked (in our case, we booked a Standard room and we got given a Superior room), it can be difficult for them to find your reservation in their backend systems.
So ensure you go in with printed proof of your reservation and payment, and eventually it will all get sorted.
Otherwise, it's amazing, the Dawa drinks are top notch and the rooms are spacious and inviting.
Wonderful hotel - great location and also the facilities are great.
The only issue is when the hotel is full - there are insufficient Beach towels. it doesn't help that most people take more than expected ie 3/4 more per person rather than one per person. We had to wait the whole day to get a clean towel. ( speaking to other guests - they collected their towels @ 7.30am or the night before...) . Would recommend that management bring in a CARD system for beach towels so that everyone has an equal allocation( when it is not full you can revert to the current system. )
Guest relations ( Marcia) is amazing and recommend speaking to her about anything local. She can advise you and help whenever possible.
the biggest positive is the FOOD - it was amazing and the freshest of the cooking was visibly seen.
the bar was quick to respond to drinks orders. the only issue is the amount of paperwork they need as most guests are on All- inclusive yet it was requested that the room number be given every time you ordered a drink. Perhaps management can review this? let the staff see the BANDS to decide which needs food orders or not
Location was not perfect and not much activities going on there but they’ve more than make up for it with their services, and the food was to die for, my girlfriend and I really enjoyed the food if nothing else.
The hotel is a bit far from the beach, about 5-10 minutes by tricycle. The villa is large with two bedrooms, suitable for a family of 4, but the facilities are old and the hygiene is average.
For some reason the hotel did not receive my booking information. After we arrived at 7:30 pm local time, we waited for an hour and a half for the villa to be ready.
If you do not choose all-inclusive meals, even drinking water will not be provided.
I don't know why no one mentioned the simpleness of the spare parts at all. For example, there are no disposable slippers. The water is also a thermos pot with no disposable bottled drinking water. If the bath water becomes cold at night after 12 o'clock, it takes more than ten minutes to release water. Hot water. I don't know if the entire Mombasa hotel water filtration system is a shit, the water is super invincible salty, and it is no different from drinking directly from the sea. Even the waiter said that it is best to use pure water for brushing teeth.
Because the price is all inclusive, the hotel is basically a lot of Europeans and Americans. We stayed for two days and a Chinese did not see it. The food was similar to other hotels. In fact, it is not recommended to have this kind of package in Mombasa, because the restaurant outside can eat seafood. It is better to eat. The only advantage is that drinks are free, even cocktails are free, so many Europeans and Americans like to drink there. There are also performances in the evening.
Very Good

I recently stayed at Leopard Beach Resort and Spa and overall had a pleasant experience. The location is absolutely perfect — right on a beautiful beach, offering stunning views and easy access to the water. The resort has many outlets with a nice variety of food, and the staff throughout were very attentive and welcoming. However, the quality of the room could use improvement. There was some noticeable mold on the walls, and the bathroom is definitely in need of refreshing and renovation. I also encountered some issues with the restaurant department, which initially left a negative impression. Fortunately, after discussing the situation with the management team, some of the concerns were addressed. I appreciate their responsiveness and hope this feedback will support the resort’s ongoing development and improvements.

My partner and I had an exquisite time at the baobab resort. It was the lovely getaway we anticipated. The arrangement, environment, food, staff (who are so courteous, engaging, helpful and very pleasant), beach vibes and others met and exceeded our expectations. We hesitated on leaving, but I definitely know we will visit Baobab and Diani soonest. Keep up the amazing job, Guys.
This is our 4th visit to Papillon. The staff are amazing here. The animation team have such energy, the water aerobics is like nothing else. Everyone is always busy working, from the gardeners to the housekeepers to the pool attendants. Joseph and Raphael on the bar were excellent as always. Abdullah the pool attendant is always on hand with towels and keeps the pool clean. The rooms are always kept super clean with fresh linen and bottled water daily. The rooms now have a fridge and kettle (but you need your own teabags etc). The food and drink is great, lots of choices. The beach is stunning with pure white sand. Love this hotel and recommend to others
Very nice, food is great, especially the Indian food, chef Kamal is great, fantastic location. The animation team is very good, never cancel anything. So, water aerobics, water volley ball, beach volley ball, perfect if you want an active holiday. Loud music every night until 11 pm, a bit boring though.
It was the most stunning hotel I have ever been near rooms beautiful view amazing pool that comes with snacks and free drinks all the time lots of activities amazing buffet for breakfast lunch and dinner the staffs were tirelessly welcoming and always running to get you a beer or a water so friendly The beach was white and the sunrise at 6:09am was extraordinary this I loved every second of our sta
Great location just in front of the Tandoori club Very cozy, but not big, territory and nice beach Not far from the airport But the hotel needs the renovation All inclusive system fits travellers who prefer stay on the beach during the day and have an excess to food and drink Also in the evening you can go to the luxurious restaurants to taste new dishes, it takes 10 min to get there by slow walk
I've had a great stay in Safari hotel! There was a bit of a problem with my reservation but they took care of it the best way possible. The whole staff treated me like a family member. They were super helpful for anything I'd need. Special thanks to Jackson who really took care of me making sure it was alright. Thank you guys and I hope to see you all again!!!
