Hotels near Ukunda airport

Pros: The service, staff and facilities were excellent

Cons: The internet was terrible in the rooms

Pros: A nice and quiet quaint property. Beautiful garden and rooms.

Pros: Excellent staff and manager - George. Lovely grounds. Spacious rooms. Excellent and varied food - much better than a buffet as described. Good pool. Adults only.

Cons: Bed a little firm. More seating in room needed. No shop for essentials. Too many flies at times. Beach boys a pest.

Pros: Excellent food Friendly and professionel staff

Pros: We liked our stay so much, that we would love to come back(which we normally never do). We had an amazing and very relaxed stay: Champaign and oysters during breakfast, amazing lobster for lunch, great cocktails, a soft bed, amazing and kind service, the best beach beds and an amazing garden to relax. I celebrated my birthday in the hotel, and the staff were the best during our romantic diner on the beach for this ocassion. We would 120% recommend this place to couples/ and or friends who need a true and relaxing break.

Cons: It is hard to find something we did not like, but if we had to choose one thing, than it would be the paid Wi-Fi acces after you exceed the free wifi acces in the room for only one hour (on every 24 hours).

Pros: Staff were extremely welcoming and made our stay so relaxing.

Cons: That we had to leave....

Pros: Amazing place, incredible beautiful garden and a very kind staff made our days there a more than perfect time

Pros: Very friendly staff. Amenities were always topped up and staff kept room clean. Restaurant is one of the best around with very tasty food.

Cons: I think nothing

Pros: Staff

Pros: Excellent hotel. Eco-friendly and very comfortable. helpful staff assisted with arranging bookings and logistics (PCR's etc). Nomad's restaurant (attached to hotel) also possibly the best venue in the area for food and drink.

Cons: n/a

Pros: The hotel did exceed my old expectations and I found it improved and much better!

Cons: The food was not really the top... but overall was ok.

Pros: It’s beautiful, the staff were amazing and very accommodating, the food was great ! Definitely come here with your partner or family, I did it solo, but never felt alone, kudos to the staff and everyone around. I honestly think this place is underrated and is a place I will go back to again !

Cons: Nothing !

Pros: Stunning location

Cons: Had to leave.

Pros: Great pools. Very nice hotel. Nice setting. Fresh water. Great bathroom. Everything was working in the room. Nothing broken. Very clean.

Cons: Moskitos in the room. Moskito net did not close properly and let through moskitos. No buffet.

Pros: The architecture of the building and villas, the swimming pool and the proximity to the sea

Cons: Air conditioning making noise during the night at least from my room. As all aircoms are located on the rooftop I would have preferred to be in a lower level room.

Pros: Amazing. Everything was perfect. The staff are too kind.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Special shout-out to Swahili Beach hotel who absolutely went above and beyond to make this birthday trip so splendid. A shout out to Peter and Katana at Baharini Bar for making our nights so much fun. Chef Moses who put on quite the food show for my birthday dinner at Zanz-i-bar. Sophia who was ALWAYS around to help and last but not least, Hellen at Reservations who went out of her way to make our stay possible despite the Nairobi lockdown and absolutely splendid. She booked all our expeditions too. The body wash, shampoo and lotions are so beautifully scented and gentle on the skin. Hands down the best resort experience. I’d definitely recommend no other resort South Coast but Swahili Beach.

Cons: No bathroom slippers offered which is a minor thing

Pros: What’s there not to like? Just visit Swahili Beach, all the staff are amazing but also ask for Millicent. She’s a manager that will go above and beyond to make your stay pleasant.

Cons: Monkeys trying to steal my stuff hahaha I loved it

Pros: everything was perfect. friendly staff, rooms spacious, food was satisfactory and the ambiance was perfect for relaxation

Pros: Just the sea view!

Cons: The entire place was deceiving. The room looks low quality. Doesn’t qualify for that kind of money. Expensive with low quality. Slow services. Completely disappointing. They charged me extra 18$ for no reason.

Pros: The grounds are gorgeous. The pool area is lovely. There are chairs to sit close to the beach. The staff is gracious and attentive. The rooms are large, and clean. Bathrooms are renovated. The bed is comfortable, and there is a small table with 2 chairs outside. The food and drink selection was plentiful.

Cons: Nothing to complain about.

Pros: BF was good, but repetitive. Dinner had good variation. No special coffees. I’ll donate 1000 KHS for new darts :) they were unusable. I liked the water bottles in the room.

Cons: The shower seemed to need repairs the doors slipped off. The water was too salty for my taste.

Pros: - Very nice pool - Beautiful garden - Nice rooms - Most of the staff was actually nice although terribly terribly terribly managed, very stressed and overworked. Despite this however, they still tried to do their best

Cons: - Laughable all inclusive. Want a coffee for breakfast at 9:53? Wait 7 minutes! The bar opens at 10:00! - Sour sausages for breakfast. When asked about it they said: "Ah, maybe they're from yesterday...." - Want tea or coffee for breakfast? Wait 20 minutes, tell the waiter, wait another 10 minutes, tell them again, wait another 10 minutes. Why don't they have a coffee/tea station like every other hotel in the world - remains a mystery... - Constant chaos when serving food - Prepare for 30 minute long queues. Prepare for tiny portions. And if you don't come within the first few minutes of opening, forget about the nice meat or chapatis... - The bar serves the cheapest alcohol in Africa - Safari Gin, Safari Whiskey, Safari Everything After 4 days we actually gave up and started to eat in nearby restaurants which server really brilliant food and awesome cocktails for very good prices. Diani Sea Resort is a nice hotel with terrible food, drinks and service (the people are nice but the managers shouldn't be allowed to run even a hot-dog stand...)

Pros: It was all inclusive, which made things easy and spending predictable. Staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Cons: The showers were salt water.

Pros: Very good food, friendly and helpful staff. Location is perfect, right on the beach. The massage was incredible and cheap entertainment was great my son enjoyed it a lot

Cons: There was a leakage in the room.but they managed to fix it right away.they washed the wet clothes for free and we came bk to a clean room

Pros: Great value for money (all inclusive package), good location, beautiful beaches (pity about the beach boys!)

Pros: Location, the food, drinks, all the hotel was around green and lush vegetation.

Cons: The hotel need imediately renovation and reparation.I was in this property 9 years ago and is the same everything.The prices for ALL 160 euro for 2 persons per day is soo expensive and you didn't receive nothing around that price what you pay.Everything is old in the room, not clean at all.Nothing !

Pros: Very happy

Cons: None

Pros: Cost was reasonable, drinks were plentiful and the food was varied and there were snacks between meal timings. The monkeys make for an entertaining addition to the stay.

Cons: The showers were a little cold and on arrival there was some confusion regards payment. Booking.com had debited the money yet the reception staff were adamant we needed to pay the full amount on arrival. They were incorrect and the matter was eventually settled.

Pros: Excellent location. Good food. Covid precautions in place

Cons: Room was not ready 4 hours after check in. Uncomfortable bed. Old and mouldy linen.

Pros: Great location, variety at mealtimes, Covid precautions in place

Cons: Confusion at check in. Staff insisted to pay again though already paid with booking agency. Room not ready till 17:00 though checkin is stated 12:00. Old bed linen and towels.

Pros: Hotel facilities are very nice but to busy , check in waiting 2 hours in reception , waiting for food to long

Cons: We booked trip from hotel reception and is supposed to have dolphins and diving in the program, swimming and lunch and other attractions, the hotel organized the driver and the whole trip, unfortunately it turned out that we sailed on a boat for dinner only for which we had to pay extra, we complainted to hotel but hotel did not respond to our problems, we had to stop our stay with these people because we were afraid of robbing us, the hotel replied after 3 days and denied that they had organized this trip, shame and I definitely do not recommend such bad experiences to anyone, the only person who helped us come back home was the driver and thanks again to just him, a shame and a disgrace to treat people like that , 4 stars ?

Pros: Loved my time at the resort. The inclusive package is a win! The food was delicious!!

Cons: The monkeys are a problem. The staff is rude. I found it completely ridiculous to have guests check out at 10:00am - the staff refused to let me do a late checkout. I had to sit on the lobby of the hotel for 5 hours as my flight was only much later in the day. They also closed off access to the other pool area which was extremely disappointing of them to do. The pool over there was sparkly and less crowded (COVID concern).

Pros: I enjoyed the atmosphere the most. The layout was beautiful and well kept. The food was excellent with a decent variety. The doctor service for pre-Flight COVID testing was perfect and results were delivered in a timely manner.

Cons: The waiting staff was slow and appeared uninterested in the customers. Maybe it was too low of staffing for the amount of customers eating, but it felt like asking for a glass of water during lunch or dinner was a burden. We tried talking to the tour guide assigned to your facility many times, but he never got back to us. We ended up asking around and having to figure out where to go for outside Safari's or boat rides ourselves. Overall, the staffing could put a bit more focus into the needs of the customers.

Pros: I love everything about this property. I mean from the food to the facilities, everything was so amazing. Special mention to the staff over there. They are the nicest most hospitable individuals ever. They are so kind and they made my stay feel like home. I am so grateful to them and may God bless each and every one of them. Honestly my stay was a 10/10. Loved it all. 👏🏾👏🏾

Cons: Nothing at all. It was fantastic.

Pros: Beach was nice and clean.

Cons: Cleanliness of the room and towels. Salty and stinky water from the sink. Cheap alcohol in the inclusive package. Food was buffet lunch/dinner (which we didn't find tasty) so we ate out last night. No room service.

Pros: Location

Cons: The food

Pros: the room was great.

Cons: the meals variety could have been better.

Pros: Food and entertainment

Cons: Staff particularly waiters

Pros: Friendly staff, great to have a small kitchen. You have to walk a bit to the beach but for us it was ok because the accomodation was quiet. Great pool and we got a nice cold welcome drink!

Cons: We loved the cats, but they peed everywhere outside, especially on the pillows outside the room so we couldn't use the couch. We did not try the restaurant but had a look to the menu. They do not serve vegetarian dishes.

Pros: I loved the pool it was just amazing

Cons: The cat pets they're so disturbing

Pros: Awesome

Cons: Cleaning staff

Pros: The pool its very clean and Said,Mike and Chef they were awesome guyz to chat with.

Pros: I loved the swimming pool it was clean and warm at night

Cons: The place is too silent, no speakers, and even we couldn't watch the TV The WIFI was not working in the cottage and was not good but very strong outside

Pros: Ambience and location were superb. People and staff were good

Cons: Family room were very compact and ventilation was not sufficient.. ac also has timer which was not mentioned on site. To little options for vegetarian

Pros: We had a great stay. The staff was mostly all very helpful and nice (except one grumpy lady!), our room was lovely, the food was good, and the pool was wonderful!

Cons: The antiquated rules requiring changing before each meal are very non-kid-friendly. It's a huge and unnecessary chore to make children and families change, eat, and then change again repeatedly. It's a beach-side resort - embrace that!!! Additional kid-friendly touches would be nice, such as enhanced attention to kid-friendly food. Don't get me wrong, though, we had a great time and would definitely consider coming back again!

Pros: Not a great deal

Cons: It was supposed to be all inclusive but if wanted water in the room you had to pay for it.

Pros: The property is on a lovely and green area, with beautiful trees and a stunning baobab. The lawn in front of the pool, where the suntanning beds are, is well kept. Rooms are fine, but not exceptional. The seaview room is much better. The staff is very friendly, although they had some problems with respecting the anti-Covid measures.

Cons: You can get better value for your money. Not an hotel for people with deambulation problems. Food is barely edible. Buffet with decent anti-covid settings, variety was ok, but taste and cooking was really routine, nothing to remember. The first days they served lake fish, meat was not tasty, not much fruits. in general you will not starve, but you will not enjoy food. About rooms: on arrival they gave us the wrong rooms. The following day they apologised and changed, them. It took four days to have a minifridge in our room. The pool was overcrowded, although the hotel was running at half capacity. The beach in front of the hotel is a big clean one, but, as most of Kenya, resents a lot of the tide.

Pros: Good hospitality

Pros: The pool and the service from the waiters was good

Cons: The rooms have no TVs, the hotel requires you to pay to use the safe (This feels like an exploitative move. I have been to many hotels in Kenya and abroad and never heard of this), no fridge, the room water was also being charged. Very annoying and disappointing. For juices, the hotel had only tropical and pineapple juice.

Pros: The hotel is right on the public beach which is clean. The property is surrounded by trees and greenery, which makes it cool. There is plenty of parking and its safe. The massage is affordable and the masseuse is good, i enjoyed that a lot. They had taken the right Covid 19 measures which was comforting and rooms are cleaned every day. They gave us a good discount when we decided to extend our stay.

Cons: The standard room is very basic, small bathroom, weak WIFI and no TV. The room was also stuffy. Some of the waiters are nasty, they don't get orders right, they even forget and don't even care, one Johnson and Ali were not good at all. The food was just okay. The entertainment was just plain. The bottomless drinks are very limited and the juices are not even fresh.

Pros: Excellent breakfast, very professional and friendly staff and everything is extremely clean.

Cons: Furniture in bathroom is quite old, but it was very very clean

Pros: It was okay can't say much of it.

Cons: I liked everything about that place

Pros: The hotel is very big so you always feel like you have your own space. The rooms are also a nice size. If you need a PCR test, the hospital is right across the street which is convenient. The entertainment in the night was a lot of fun and the beach is beautiful. Overall good value for money.

Cons: The hotel is need of a renovation and general up keep. The towels provided in the room weren’t always clean. The service at Finns was extremely slow. We visited a 4 star hotel during our stay and their facilities were of better quality and they had a beautiful beach because they cleaned away the sea weed. I wouldn’t rate this property a 5 star but still worth it for what you pay.

Pros: I requested for a room move due to a faulty shower head and the duty manager honoured my request with a room on the higher floor with a sea view. The food was delicious,entertainment at the dunes was 👌

Cons: After playing on the sand I went to clean up at the pool shower,the security guy approached in without even confirming if I stayed in the resort or not he asked me why am using the pool shower yet I dint look like a resident in the resort,I asked him how the residence looked like and he was very rude and had this unwelcoming attitude. The next morning he met me at the breakfast restaurant,I thought he would chase me out again....smh🙄🙄🙄🙄

Pros: Nice staff, nice location

Cons: The bridges in the garden were under construction. So we had to walk "far" to the beach and towel stand. I asked when they renovate them. ASAP was the answer, so hopefully things get better

Pros: Clean beautiful beach, spacious territory and excellent food

Cons: All good

Pros: One of the best hotel in Diani

Pros: Amazing, clean place directly on the beach. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We had an amazing time, would definitely come back.

Pros: It’s right in front of the ocean, very child friendly. The staff was just very happy to accommodate us in each way. With Covid 19, there is almost no tourism, which is very sad for this little gem of a resort.

Cons: Not that much choice food wise, which was understandable with the covid 19, no tourists, it was a little “ghost resort”, but that being said, we had a lovely time.

Pros: The daily entertainment, the food and half board arrangements, the rooms, and the great personel

Cons: The transport arrangements to and from the airport are a little bit pricey.

Pros: The property is very brautiful. Right on the ocean. The swimming pool is lovely. The staff were overall friendly. They had nice activities during the day and evening. The staff in charge of entertainment organized and choreographed beautiful shows every evening. Good value for money. They had a social event for children in the neighbourhood as well Nicely done!

Cons: There was a mix up with our booking. We were not checked in to the ocean view room that I had booked and paid for. But the manager offered to cover our lunches instead and we accepted. 2 nights into our stay we were offered to move to an ocean view room but we decided not to go through the hassle of packing and unpacking.

Pros: Helpful staff, good cleaning of the pools when required due to rainfall.

Cons: Dirty and unprovided kitchen. Kitchen staff a little scruffy, not possible for those who have to cook our meals.

Pros: It is a gorgeous place to be at. Beautiful big breakfast. The view of the ocean from every corner of the Villas.

Cons: Unfortunately the economical effects of Corona are totally noticeable eg. pool is just half filled, no welcome drinks etc.

Pros: Shared kitchen had sufficient utensils.

Pros: Very kindly staff

Cons: Internet connection very poor and chaotic, breakfast every day the same, no fresh vegetables

Pros: I enjoyed being right on the ocean, and l enjoyed having three pools! The units were very large and well kept. Too far from Mombasa to be tempted to go so stayed on the property and had a really good time.

Cons: Nothing....of course by day four the breakfast was becoming repetitious but that’s the norm.

Pros: The whole property is very clean and well maintained. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The location is directly on the beautiful white beach. Huge, clean swimming pools. The internet speed is quite good most of the time.

Cons: The only little flaw is that the beds are not well suited to fix or accomodate the overhead mosquito nets, it´s a bit annoying when you struggle to fix the net.

Pros: The beach was magnificent - breakfast served next to the ocean - the staff super welcoming and willing to help.

Cons: The beach, the swimming pool and the food

Pros: The beach connected to the property was really nice. The room had a lot of good natural lighting during the day.

Cons: The room was old and not well maintained. The items in the kitchen were mostly rusted and damp.

Pros: Nice beachfront location (although the "beach boys" can ruin that quickly). Polite staff. They arranged a taxi to and from the airport.

Cons: The internet was unreliable, the shower was cold, and the restaurant was mediocre overpriced food. I had planned to stay in Diani Beach for 4 days but left after 2, unimpressed.

Pros: The location was amazing. On beach with the bar and water activities all there. Unfortunately the current covid issues are bad for thier businesses but good for visitor

Cons: As with many places now must use room key to activate air conditioning. So takes a while to cool down. Not property problem...

Pros: Good

Pros: Literally everything. The sea view room was a piece of heaven. The views, hotel landscape, gardens, were extraordinary and breathtaking. The hotel’s facilities including the spa, swimming pools and lounging areas(all around the hotel) were amazing. The staff were very friendly and ready to help at all times. Best I’ve met honestly! The food was great with variety. I can’t possibly find anything negative about the hotel. The hospitality was overboard! We loved every bit of our stay.

Pros: Awesome

Cons: Variety Child friendly meals

Pros: It is clean and the staff are very nice to guests.

Cons: The music..They only play a certain genre of music.If you are aged,this is the place for you but if you like a more lively environment,i would not recommend.

Pros: The breakfast was excellent and the staff helpful. The hotel had observed COVID19 measures very well. There were fun activities for families and the animation team was great

Pros: Beach - rooms - view from rooms. The pool was clean and nice. The surrounding areas were good for a walk.

Cons: Food was a disappointment breakfast also a very limited choice. -service at the dinner was slow. Some places need better cleaning. Cats in the dining also :)

Pros: Gorgeous place. Relaxed atmosphere. Very clean. Tropical nature. Great African dishes at the buffet. Fascinating monkeys all over the place (different types!). Friendly and cheerful staff. Possibility to go jogging on the road.

Cons: I‘d have expected mangos with the fruits. It was season but there were only the standard water melon, passion fruits and pineapples. I‘d also like to get soy milk.

Cons: Worst resort ever!!! Everything is old and not maintained. Wifi is a complete disaster. Personnel doesn't care about anything. All-inclusive to them means your food....not drinks like water of soft drinks.....in the end they present you a bill while it states All-inclusive formula. The food they offer is so bad i would even feed a hungry animal with the left overs. I can not say 1 positive thing about this resort. People do yourself a favor.....look fir something else.

Pros: Staff, location, amenities

Cons: Maintenance!

Pros: The location, the building architecture, lots of trees and fish ponds. Very polite attentive staff, Family really enjoyed 🙂

Cons: The food was not that good, not enough flavor then again might be due to lack of business due to limited clients and staff

Pros: The rooms were excellent The food was good The members of staff are fantastic

Cons: Slightly Slow service at breakfast. Slow service st some stations for dinner

Pros: The food was amazing. good variety for breakfast and dinner. Good sea view. Very friendly staff.

Cons: Our towels and bedding are a bit worn. Needs to be replaced.

Pros: Staff was friendly and polite

Cons: Air-condition was not working properly

Pros: The staff were accommodating and the facilities were nice. I especially liked the pool. I also appreciated that it was right next to the road and only a few minutes to the beach.

Pros: The staff were so friendly, from arrival to check out..... Very respectful and caring

Pros: overall the location of the room was great. I enjoyed the fact that I sent an email regarding surprising my wife as it was our honeymoon and her birthday also ,and I liked how the housekeeping did the setup for the bed .It was a nice surprise to my wife .In addition to that the hot water shower was great too not forgetting the buffet breakfast . I cannot forget to mention one gentleman who made our stay memorable, I think his name was Dennis ,he was on the buffet breakfast each day and his smile and welcoming gesture made everything Smooth and made us feel very welcoming .

Cons: In the room it could have been better if you placed a telephone that we can contact the receptionists instead of going outside to place our requests . Also their was no life guard in the swimming pool nor life jackets in case someone was drowning and can be thrown in the water to save a person .

Pros: accessibility

Cons: not clean, leaky shower - water all over the floor

Pros: nice hotel and very nice employees... breakfast was nice and the location is easy as the tuc tuc go past the gate every 10 seconds....Pool was OK too

Cons: They are having a lot of power out moments. Everytime the power goes out the generator cuts in but it takes 10 minutes for the wifi ( when working ) to cut back in... it also goes out in the glitch when the power comes back on... This was happening 2-3 times an hour... Not really the fault of the hotel but a problem when staying there.

Pros: Pool, pool care taker, bar man, housekeeper

Cons: AC not workin properly. Overpriced breakfast

Pros: First of all this is really perfect location ! Also I really liked a garden there. The territory is beautiful! The main manager tried to help us. Cute receptionist That’s all

Cons: Here I have to say a lot )) 1. The exit to the ocean was super dirty, there wasn’t any light. All nearby hotels had it but our didn’t. 2. I asked a personal not to come in to the room, but when I came back to hotel I saw the bed is fixed. I asked manager why did they allow to start to clean but even didn’t finish? And manager answered maybe because they informed their staff while they did cleaning. So they just stopped and went out 🙈 3. On the second day there wasn’t a hot water in the room. We was waited long time to get fixed and lost our precious time. Because when there is a curfew every minute is precious))) they even changed a room but we still was WITHOUT hot water and we took ice shower. 4. When we arrived to the hotel, we went to restaurant there and from all positions only 3 were available 😂 we was the only one visitors in the restaurant at that time and even despite of that we waited for 40 minutes. 5. On the booking I booked all inclusive. Before coming to the hotel I contacted to hotel about covid test, so they could tell to me another details also. When we came to the hotel, manager told there is no all inclusive, everything is sold out. So why didn’t they tell it before? I even contacted to them.

Pros: Did take breakfast since we had to leave very early in the morning!

Cons: The shower knobs were a struggle to close!

Pros: The staff were amazing, I can not say that enough. Great smiles and quite attentive . The hotel was empty so it kind of felt like we were just two kids in a castle and everyone was there to help us . Was a great experience . The views from our room were unparalleled. Woke up with a smile EVERY MORNING !!!

Cons: All the facilities in the resort like entertainment were closed but they did not stipulate that in the booking advertisement. This made us feel like we were cheated from the full resort experience. While we are completely sensitive to impact of COVID , the hotel should say in the discription on booking.com that these facilities are no longer or temporarily unavailable during our stay. The hotels next to us were still offering entertainment and we had considered staying there when making the booking so this was disappointing. The food menus was also really limited so we opted to eat out the entire stay.

Pros: Excellent Sea view. Nice swimming pool. Good price. Beach access Good location Friendly staff.

Cons: Towels extremely dirty white towels looks brown. Ac was broken after some technician spent a whole amount of time while trying to rest finally was repaired but not enough cold. No lifts had to climb fourth floor everytime so frustrating. Room and toilet not very clean. Stairs not clean.
