Arrival gave a hint of things to come, staff moral seemed really low. The hotel seemed to be one of the last remaining along the stretch of beach;several other hotels were abandonded and we were told one had been burnt down by staff who had not been paid.We were only here a few days, the beach was fantastic but little...

Diani sea lodge was relaxing and welcoming, it was only about a third full during my stay, Easter 2012, I think in the high season it will be a long wait at the bar as there were not enough bar staff on duty, having said that though for the price it was very good, clean air conditioned room, a little...

Food- Poor. Entertainment - Complete lack of! Staff- Mostly very rude and unprofessional, witnessed bar man stick his hands down his crotch, obviously trying to impress female staff before serving my drink, needless to say it was left at the bar. Room- 'Superior' Hate to see what the normal ones are like! Beach - Beautiful! Mombassa airport- Utter joke unless... More

Very basic rooms so only glad stayed here two nights. All-inclusive if you like that type of holiday so a little slice of West in Africa. Read the reviews in Lonely Planet and Rough Guide and make your own mind up about this hotel. More

Nothing was a problem, we didn't have any outrageous... More
