The pick-up was on time from our hotel in Westland of Nairobi. The driver, Edward, was professional and friendly and I do appreciate his hard work. The package was 3.5 out of 5. The accommodation at Lake Nakuru was nearly terrible and if I wasn't about the staff I would have left the hotel in the first hour! The food, room, and everything else in this hotel was a disaster! The second accommodation in Masai Mara Camp was not that bad as it is a tent camp. The game drives were all good enough due to the driver’s skills.
I recently stayed at Leopard Beach Resort and Spa and overall had a pleasant experience. The location is absolutely perfect — right on a beautiful beach, offering stunning views and easy access to the water. The resort has many outlets with a nice variety of food, and the staff throughout were very attentive and welcoming.
However, the quality of the room could use improvement. There was some noticeable mold on the walls, and the bathroom is definitely in need of refreshing and renovation.
I also encountered some issues with the restaurant department, which initially left a negative impression. Fortunately, after discussing the situation with the management team, some of the concerns were addressed. I appreciate their responsiveness and hope this feedback will support the resort’s ongoing development and improvements.
Swahili Beach Resort is a great all inclusive resort in Diani Beach in Kenya. It's perfect as a base for staying in the area, with everything you need included. The rooms are spacious, the staff are incredible (and I mean incredible - nothing is too much trouble for them, they are so polite and will really go to great lengths to help you).
The only issue is that if the resort puts you in a room that is different to what you've booked (in our case, we booked a Standard room and we got given a Superior room), it can be difficult for them to find your reservation in their backend systems.
So ensure you go in with printed proof of your reservation and payment, and eventually it will all get sorted.
Otherwise, it's amazing, the Dawa drinks are top notch and the rooms are spacious and inviting.
I have been here a few times; I like the place very much. But this time it was a bit of a disappointment. They are refurbishing the reception and the big bar. So, it´s drilling and banging for breakfast, lunch dinner…. The animation team can be better, they cancel a lot. The WIFI is terrible. Definitely space for some improvement right now. I hope they are back to normal standards at the end of the year.
