They took my mobile phone. It was found in my room and they said they were sending it back. I sent a courier and they didn't give it to the courier person. My phone was never seen again. Disappointed.

First of all I had stayed at the sister hotel Diani Sea Resort previously and thought that this was the one I had booked.We have been travelling to Kenya for some years now and have never been disapointed with the hotels we have stayed in. The room that we... More

I booked a one week all-inclusive holiday through Firstchoice to stay at Diani Sea lodge (not to be confused with Diani Sea resort). It is a cheap/basic/budget option and if your needs/standards are more than average, you'd be better off paying a few hundred pounds more to stay elsewhere. That said, in hindsight I'd personally still have gone with this... More

We flew into Unkunda, and had a 10 minute taxi ride to the hotel. The accommodation is lovely, the staff are friendly. Food is delicious. Cost is ALL inclusive including drinks. The only drawback are the many steps. It is built on a hill, so while one can look out over scores of beautiful bougainvillea, one also has to watch... More

Hotel is basic but clean and the staff are very helpful and friendly. We went on a fantastic safari into the Masai Mara. We used JT Safaris. (Julius) We flew to the Governor's Camp, which was an amazing experience in itself, and went out on safari with our designated driver, Moses, who managed to track down every animal possible. I...

I was a solo traveller on this trip, a "use it or lose it holiday" on arrival was allocated a room at the top end of site (90) which was just too far from the centre of the complex, my room was changed to one close to the reception area (18), the room in itself was fine but the aircon... More
