The Nomad is a really lovely place. The food was very good, the staff at reception very friendly and professional. The whole set up with the swimming pool surrounded by greenery is lovely. Also nice to watch the different monkeys climbing in the trees. The beach is truly stunning, and while before booking I had feared the beach would be too busy, this was not the case. Of course when you go for a walk you are approached by beach sellers, but they accept a no. We had a standalone bungalow, with our own reclining chairs and lots of space around, very pleasant (that probably explains the high price, but for us that privacy and peacefulness was what we had been looking for), beach sellers walk past, but they leave you in peace when you say no. We also appreciated their environmental efforts.

The Maji Boutique Hotel is incredible. If you lucky enough to find availability just book it, you wont regret it! If you dont like big crowds and if you prefer individuality, this is the place. Everything was excellent; we loved the fresh food, ability to eat at your leisure, the freshly baked breads in the morning, the exquisite location right on the beach, the amazing pool around the rooms of the hotel, the unique local art in every corner on every wall, the stunning customised furniture, the peaceful atmosphere, the privacy as there is only 16 rooms; and the excellent service from the amazing staff who felt like family by the time we left - from the owner, the management, the waiters to even the back of house staff, the pool cleaner, the security, the room cleaners, everyone was so amazing and friendly!! Oh and the deep tissue massage was actually perfect. We spent 6 nights here and wish it could have been longer. We dont usually travel to the same place twice but for sure this is going to be one place we will definately come back to. Couldnt recommend this boutique hotel enough

The people were very friendly and the rooms were comfortable, clean and there was enough space! the resort had two pools and had a great location next to the beach (the beach was accessible via the resort). The food and drinks were very good and the resort plans a lot of fun activities throughout the week. Also, you can plan trips through the reception. There is also security at the beach, so you’ll feel very safe. 10/10 recommend.

    The resort is huge, luxurious and offers a great variety of pools, restaurants and activities. The renovated rooms are very nice. The staff were fantastic, always cheery, welcoming, and the Jambo activities team were great fun with the water polo, volleyball and shuffle board games. Bar staff, cleaners, waiting teams will all make it feel like home as they greet you throughout the day. Small requests of ours were always met with help whether it be with food or hair conditioner. As vegans, we had a good choice of foods for each meal. The chefs even did vegan crepes each breakfast when we asked. Soya milk was also readily available, which was nice, and there were even milk and egg free cakes in the afternoons. The resort has a good variety of water sports at very reasonable prices. The spa and massage area is brilliant, so relaxing and well priced for all the treatments. We really enjoyed ours.

    It was an absolute pleasure staying at this hotel !! The stuff was more than kind and helpful always trying to make you feel like you are a part of their family .They were even getting into the room every evening to prepare the bed and spray around for the mosquitoes. The food was a pleasant surprise as all the meals from the breakfast till the dinner were more than worthy to taste .Specially the crab salad and the soup was exquisite! Also they made a so delicious pizza in a wooden oven that we couldn't stop eating it. Also the hotel offers you a massage service which I tried and I loved as the very kind girl was very interested to treat your body part being in pain. Finally the decoration had a traditional futuristic touch that I loved!

The Lemongrass restaurant is a very nice and romantic restaurant inside the resort. Worth visiting it even if you do not stay at the Leopard Beach Resort.

    Its a nice place with a beautiful beach with clear blue water. Water in the apartments are however salty, I assume its because of the beach surrounding the area. Food and activities are expensive around this area.

    Perfect.

    Perfect. I wrote a previous outstanding review but Booking.com only posted my two comments from “suggested improvements”, which were inconsequential but gave a negative impression. The property was lovely, steps from an amazing white sandy beach fringed with coconut palms. I loved lolling on the comfy cushions on the roof terrace in the evenings. Cecilia who looked after us was amazing and a great cook. Her fish curries were to die for. The bed was comfy and the mosquito nets a great asset. The community pool was well maintained with a fabulous on site masseuse, Habiba. Amazing relaxing vacation would highly recommend.

    Diani beach is a great place to chill, relax, swim in warm ocean waters. Diani beach has a vibrant and eclectic nightlife , for those who want it. Getting around by tuk-tuk taxi is cheap and easy, the people are fab, But . . . don't go in May, or early June, it is very very rainy! December to March are best, Jan & Feb dryest by far. Enjoy.

    Diani is a must see while visiting Kenya.

    Diani is a must see while visiting Kenya. Just make sure you pick your dates well. We visited Diani in April which was the start of the raining season but it was hot. The dry season runs from August to December and I can only imagine how hot it can get. Many resorts don't have A/C but portable fans in rooms. It helps but the rooms are still hot. Bring insect repellent sprays as insects and mosquitoes are around. Plenty of activities to do. Wasani day trip is a must do, camel/horse rides along the beach, sunset in Congo river, glassboat rides, jet ski, kite surfing etc. Be ready to negotiate anything you buy as the locals have the tendency to overcharge foreigners. Also there is a small splash place for kids. It is not as big and elaborate as the big theme parks but it helps keep the kids busy and distracted.

    Ukunda itself is full of different kind of problems, but if we specifically talk about Diani, situation is different. Seaview access hotels are in general above average except, Flamboyant, Safari Beach and Seabreeze of which have many issues. Pricing 80$ to 500$ US. Then in Galu beach lies horrible trap places like this ghastly Coconut Village with incompetent teenagers left as managers. The second strip hotels are passable with pricing 35$ to 120$, but usually lack service ability and professional staff. The beach is very beautiful, but people around hotels hustling bring the experience down even bad.
