Perfection

Reviewed By AlasdairW_12

This place is amazing! And such good value. I felt calm and happy the minute I walked into the reception, greeted warmly by mama Hawa. I can’t recommend it enough. I wish I didn’t have to leave. The rooms are lovely, with huge comfy beds and lots of windows to let air through. They also have a fridge and bottle opener in case you want to buy and store your own groceries and drinks in your room. Small extra touches include incense sticks candles and matches, which they replenish each day when they clean your room. The breakfast is fantastic - big piles of delicious ripe fruit, freshly squeezed juice, perfectly brewed coffee, homemade mango and pineapple jams with homemade bread. Topped off with many cooked items, including eggs, bacon, sausages. You could be at breakfast for hours enjoying all it has to offer. The staff are wonderful, kind and friendly and do the most fantastic job at making the place feel welcoming, clean, and homely. I went diving and was equally impressed. The instructors were obviously very experienced, and I felt in totally safe hands. Saidi, Rashid the instructors, and the two captains Mohammad and Juma were a great team, full of information and laughter. I saw lots of amazing marine life on the dive, including trumpet fish, squid, turtles… and many many more. I loved it If you’re not sure where to stay in Diani, just stay here. You won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic staycation!!!

Reviewed By FirdausK10

From the moment we arrive, we were swifted straight to our villa, the resort has scattered villas all around, the names of the villas are amazing..... (chale, Madagascar, Diani, Safari) love the name of our villa , Zanzibar villa ???. The look and feel of the decor in each villa blends with the names of the villa. Zanzibar villa has a swahili touch with decor woven with sisal. Kids were super amazed with swimming pool, we opted to have our own cooking and the kitchen was fully equipped with utensils that we needed to cook. We also made our own barbeque by the pool area and was the best evening for the family. The Management provided us with all requests we required without saying No. We cant fault any staff, from the lady who checked us in (i think her name was Emily) very friendly and helpful. Provided us with wifi access to the 2 cleaner of our villa (sorry dint take names) always smiling and remembering our preferences without asking. Only one thing to repair the ac although we have extra fan provided inside the rooms. We will definitely miss this paradise as we check out tomorrow. Thankyou for making our stay special and memorable till next time !!

An incredible boutique hotel

We had the most incredible time at The Zubeida. Food was delicious, fresh and was served in the comfort of our own Villa as we requested. Hospitality was top-notch and we enjoyed interacting with all members of staff who went out of their way to assist us. The Villa Vibes were perfect- so much care has been put into furnishing the Villa and is really a home away from home. Everything was high quality and we highly recommend this premium boutique hotel to everyone who wants to stay in Diani!

Kitu Kidogo Cottages

Kitu Kidogo is an exclusive holiday retreat tucked away in a coastal indigenous forest that has been around for centuries. It comprises of two beautiful cottages made out of coral, sandstone and wood showing off the various textures of the ancient Swahili coastline. Each cottage is dressed with intricately hand carved Lamu furniture, Rajhastani and South African soft furnishings and Afghani and Ethiopian wool Rugs. The walls reflect our travels around the globe. Each wall piece has been carefully selected to fit in with the theme of the cottage giving the spaces an exotic but at the same time a harmonious look. The palm lamp shades highlight the beauty of each piece with its soft glow. What the cottage evokes is memories of the old Africa influenced by the spice trade route! Kitu Kidogo is ideal for families, groups and couples. If you are looking for comfort, style, privacy and personalized service then this is the perfect holiday home for you!

Wonderful stay at Kusini Beach Cottages!

Reviewed By HartmutMeyerHG

It was a beautiful and relaxing stay. The pool area is like the deck of a ship, with panoramic views & feel of the Indian Ocean. The Indian Ocean breeze is so calming & rejuvenating, and the beautiful old trees by the pool area protects you from the damaging effects of the sun's UVA/UVBs. The owner, Pepo & manager, Imran, made us feel at home, and in the company of good family friends. Our Chefs and cottage host, Charles, Hamisi and Gift went an extra mile to make our breakfasts, dinners and entire stay and experience, an unforgettable one; feeling sad to leave, while longing to come back again and again. We recommend everyone to experience the Kusini cottages effect!

A hidden gem

Reviewed By JohnF691

This place is a hidden gem in Diani. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, with good air conditioning. The place is quiet, peaceful and secure. Service personel are very attentive and hard working. There is a bar and resturant area but it's not functioning. However that's not a great problem as the place is situated very centrally in Diani and if you find it too hot to walk you can very easily pick up a boda boda to take you to one of the many excellent resturants close by or you can cook for yourself in the apartment. The beach is only about 100 mts away or you can relax at the fantastic, well maintained pool. The only negative is that this little gem is lacking love... it needs a good make over/ maintenance and if they do that I'm sure I'll probably find it difficult to get a booking the next time I stay there.. which I definitely intend to do.
