Swahili Beach Resort

We stayed at the Swahili Beach resort for a week as a couple, and the experience was simply wonderful. The hotel is beautiful and well maintained, with plenty of pools, a stunning beach, and a relaxing, luxurious atmosphere. The food was excellent – a wide variety of delicious restaurants, all included in both half-board and full-board options. The spa was fantastic and added an extra level of indulgence to our stay. Above all, the service was excellent. The staff genuinely see and care for each guest, paying attention to every detail. Special thanks to Sila, the head waiter manager, and to Adam, Stevie, and Abdallah for their exceptional service, professionalism, and constant smiles. A perfect vacation – we would happily return and highly recommend this resort.

10/10 ! This hotel is amazing ! The hotel itself and its pools are absolutely stunning and the food is incredible but what makes it are the amazing staff . I have never felt more welcome, everyone you meet is friendly and they remember everyone (names, drinks orders etc ) and are genuinely happy to see you and have a chat. Everything is kept clean (including the 9 pools ) and the beach area . The food is also fantastic, we enjoyed every meal and would recommend going half board (breakfast and dinner) as they have a buffet, beach bar, seafood/tepanyaki restaurant and Indian restaurant at the resort all included. The beach bar was our favourite spot as it has a great with a wide selection of cocktails and drinks (all reasonably priced) and is always playing good music. They can also arrange trips / activities for you and there is a supermarket in walking distance. And there are always tuk tuk (also very reasonably priced ) available to grab to explore Diani ! Highly recommend! Very sad to leave

The rooms are definetly superior rooms especially if with kids. The pools are well maintained the down side they are all stoned. So your feet will definitely hurt after a couple of days, they are not tiled floors. The entertainment is very wanting also the children’s club is almost non existent even after they do advertise for them. They are not aggressive enough to cater for the kids. But their food was worth it. I would hope they would think about the entertainment part.

I stayed at Swahili Beach Resort for a week. ||My housekeeper Grace was wonderful. Considering my health, Grace after my first night cared to know if I had any preferences on my room setup which I found to be quite considerate. |I had a wonderful "Happy Birthday" setup for me which was really sweet.|Clean sheets, a very comfortable pillow, and towels. All appliances - teli /amenities - shower work very well too.||On the first day, and since my room had just been recently cleaned and what I think is because of the overall coastal environment, the room did have a moldy wiff but constant aeration really did help. So consider doing that or having your housekeeper help you to do that, using the fan and the AC. ||I had a superior room which was very spacious and perfect for relaxing since the surroundings are also quiet. ||Room for improvement; Replacing the rugs which seem to have been worn out by the foot traffic and ensuring that some of the pillows get some regular vacuum could zhuzh up the room. ||The food is clean, the portions are quite generous and you'll eat to your heart's desire. |Room for improvement: Consider revisiting the drink policy that you have. ||The pools, which are heated, I'd like to add, are amazing. Breathtaking really. |Being that the beach has a lot of seaweed as it is it's nature, the pools really do make up for that, but you can still have a swim in there.||Everything was excellent!|The resort has different restaurants, and the place is vast so the longer your stay the better to enjoy to the max. |It is perfect for all travellers, family with kids or without, solo, whichever, you're good. |WiFi is available at all corners and how convenient is that. ||Special Thanks to;|Service;Chadwick, Adam, Karisa, Brian, Katana, Gilbert, Daniel for wonderful service all round. |And to, Peter, Monanka, Chikoza, Said, Ronnie, Torrie, for a wonderful birthday song and service all round. ||Guest Relations; Conny, Francesca, Anita, Nancy, Fatma, Edwin, Riziki for being accommodative when need arose. ||Pool; Janet, Omar and Abdalla.||Spa ladies; Mary and Joyce for such wonderful service. Esther, Irene and Mwana were always helpful, directing me and pointing me to the right direction. Indeed the spa awards are well deserved. ||Chefs; Veronica, Sophia, basically to all team members behind the hot stoves, I may have not gotten the chance to interact with you directly but I thank you!| |Concierge; Jonas for helping me with my bag. ||Any staff within Swahili Beach that contributed to making my stay as a guest comfortable, I'm grateful. ||For a birthday getaway vacation, I was and still I'm quite pleased. Would definitely consider returning and hopefully sometime soon and for a longer stay.

Not the 5-star experience we were hoping for. We chose the Swahili Resort because we were looking for a relaxing 5-star getaway, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to our expectations. The rooms are nicely decorated, but we were initially given one that had a very strong smell of mold — so much so that even our clothes started to absorb the odor. We realized this was likely an issue with the ground-floor rooms. After the first night, we asked to change room, and thankfully, the staff moved us upstairs. I would definitely not recommend the ground-floor rooms. Two other disappointing aspects were the sea and the food. The beach is not particularly nice — in fact, the sunbeds are placed on a raised terrace rather than close to the water’s edge. As for the food, it was quite bad. We tried both the seafood and beach restaurants, and when we ordered the grilled catch of the day, it tasted burnt, as if the grill hadn’t been cleaned in months. On a positive note, the swimming pool area is beautiful and very atmospheric, even though the water wasn’t perfectly clean, and the room decor is tasteful. If you’re simply looking for a place to relax by the pool and don’t have high expectations for the food, this resort might still work for you — otherwise, it’s not the luxurious experience it claims to be.

I visited Swahili beach resort at night to celebrate my friend's birthday. The resort was beautiful lit and had a calm, relaxing atmosphere. The environment felt welcoming and social for celebration. We enjoyed food and drinks together, and the service was friendly and attentive. Overall it was nice to celebrate a special occasion.

The rooms were amazing. The environment is nice. The pools are clean. The food and drinks are amazing and I love their services as well. They’re welcoming and very, very respectful. I can’t wait to come back.
