I had a fantastic stay at Diani Reef Beach & Spa Resort, where the location is beautiful and right on the beach. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, with standout service from Tabitha and Chef Adil. However, the dining experience can be hit or miss, with some meals not living up to expectations. The room I stayed in was a bit dated, which slightly detracted from my overall experience.

This hotel is a beautiful complex right by the sea, featuring a private beach which is a huge plus. The spacious rooms are well-organized and clean, but some renovations are needed, and there were a few cleanliness issues. The food is delicious, especially the breakfast and cocktails. The standout feature has to be the exceptionally warm and welcoming staff who made our stay memorable. However, the presence of aggressive monkeys and some minor downsides in room cleanliness should be considered.
