Made a reservation for my perents in law, and even called to confirm, but when they arrived they had no reservation, very embarrassing, and they had to go find some other restaurant. I called the manager, he was not helpful. All in all an embarrassing...experience.More

Semi-Formal, open-air seafood on the beach

Good seafood and good service. We hd a dinner reservation and walked from one of the other resorts close by, nice to enter from the beach. Definitely a more formal feel than most places in Diani. Worth a visit.

Brilliant Day Spent

I went to Sails to work remotely for the day- so I had appetizers, lunch, and a few cocktails. The ambience is serene, quiet and has beautiful, scenic views of the beach. The service is excellent, the place quaint, the food - quite "dandy"- perfect...for those seeking a fine palet, from an experimental chef Overall, I must recommendMore

Clearly the best food in Diani, matched by attentive service and a good wine list

We all ordered different dishes and they were all, not only delicious, but beautifully presented. Chef Anthony made a few recommendations and they were well worth while. The setting is also lovely. All in all a very enjoyable place to enjoy a special meal.

Excellent - very polished

The good is first class, the location next to the beach is wonderful, the vibe is great and the service was very good........Sam, our waiter was charming, efficient and attentive. The little touches and attention to detail were not what you usually get at the...coast and very welcome. The chef came out and was genuinely interested in what we thought, the tables and chairs were comfortable, spacious and looked good, the drinks were good and the menu was imaginative and very appealing.
