"The receptionist, I believe her name was Tricia, is very communicative, warm, and inviting. Their service was excellent, we had a great time there, and I would definitely recommend it and return."

"A great find! The room was spacious and well maintained, the host was lovely, and it was a close walk to numerous stalls with a variety of goods and amazing fresh produce. Having a kitchen allowed me to stay in if I wanted, but the apartment was also close to bars and restaurants. There is a close-by bar that plays loud music, but not super late, and I actually liked hearing the local music. The people I met were so friendly! And really, the host was very accommodating and responded to questions...

"Booked last minute and was so pleasantly surprised by Diani Sea Lodge. The staff were beyond helpful and friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed yet with plenty of entertainment and the food was exceptional (we are still talking about how good it was). The room was spacious and comfortable with every amenity available. Would definitely recommend staying here if you’re in Diani. "

"The property was going through renovation during my visits with hoarding and building works. A number of paths and walkways were closed including the main bar/lobby area. I’m sure it’s will be great once completed.
The beach boys outside the property are aggressive and persistent, which is a shame as I avoided going onto the beach/sea several times.
We had a renovated sea view room which was very nice. The gardens are well kept and maintained.

"Beautiful property with friendly and professional staff. Great breakfast, pool was well maintained and large. Some of the facilities were slightly outdated but at the price point, and the location, you can’t beat it. "

"This place does not offer what they advertise. Contact number is not Kenyan. Very poor communication when eventually comtacted. Shared toilet and showeroom - which was unaware of when booking. Room not cleaned during stay and had to request clean towels. Kitchen area poorly maintained. Noisy at times too due to layout."

"The term Luxury cottage is an insult. The pictures are very misleading.This place is so run down. The staff you can tell is trying hard but obviously the owner cares nothing about customer service or being honest. Our "Luxury cottage" had no microwave, no satellite TV and the kitchen and living room were exposed to heat as there are no windows only loose screening that let lots of bugs in. The couch and beds sit on concrete reminiscent of city jail. I realize this property is in the tropics but...

"Hotels.com did not even have the rightful owners on the platform. Some other agency had put this property on the platform. I had to scramble and get a different booking because on arrival at the property I found out that the property was unsuitable for habitation and was going through a renovation!!"

"We had an exceptional stay at Southern Palms! The property exceeded our expectations with its outstanding amenities, impeccable cleanliness, and spacious rooms. The beautifully maintained gardens and pools, which were spotless and inviting, added to the overall charm.
The beach was breathtaking, with its powdery white sand and crystal-clear waters. The staff went above and beyond, providing top-notch service with their kindness, courtesy, and attention to detail.
We especially loved the evening tea time, which offered an incredible array of savory and sweet treats catering to diverse tastes. The variety of food options was impressive, and we appreciated the effort to accommodate different ethnic dietary needs.
Overall, we're already planning our next trip back to Southern Palms – it's truly a gem!"
