The holiday was amazing and the location really is paradise - white beaches, crystal clear water, a clean and tidy resort with lovely gardens, palm trees, the odd monkey in the tree and enough space for the number of guests who were staying there in November with us.

I have just returned from holiday at the Southern Palms Hotel in Diani beach and can say it was more than a beautiful experience. I am used to backpacking so going on a package holiday was a bit of an experience for me, however, I can say I have had the best time for my first visit to Mombasa and... more

Stayed here for a week a couple of years ago i really dont understand all the raving reviews. Sure, the pool area is really nice but everything else is just ok. My own theory on all the 4-5+ reviews is that people like Kenya and the whole experience so much so that they cant distinguise between the quality of the... more

We were at the Southern Palms 4th - 18th september, with a 3 day safari in the middle of our stay.Having read some reports before we went I wasn't sure quite what to expect, as there were some negative ones.
