Booked last minute and was so pleasantly surprised by Diani Sea Lodge. The staff were beyond helpful and friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed yet with plenty of entertainment and the food was exceptional (we are still talking about how good it was). The room was spacious and comfortable with every amenity available. Would definitely recommend staying here if you’re in Diani.

Everything was perfect. Plenty of delicious food at breakfast and dinner. Lunch is easy at the outside bar/restaurant. The room was clean and had everything necessary. Of course the beach and lounge chairs were excellent. Loved everything about my time there. Every staff member was polite, respectful, professional and made sure every detail was taken care of.
