Superb

The best beach at Diani. One of the best beach bars - restaurants in the area with varieties of drinks and food. Fantastic breakfasts.. Friendly personnel.

To be improved, 1/ insect control - fumigation works for some hours, required to provide the one plugged into the socket, which should protect during the all night (we were bitten by the mosquitos and had sleepless nights due to this..); 2/ sea food - no lobster, gambash, or oysters in the menu => it's Kenya, which is famous for.. but not on the menu! Why?!

Maximum relaxation in a stunning setting with lovely staff

The location of the hotel is stunning, the beachfront seems the best out of all the adjacent hotels. The layout of the structure is great, you never feel like there is a crow around, truly relaxing and private experience. The hotel staff are lovely and kind. The management is extremely friendly and helpful. The Executive Chef makes magic food and is a great guide on hotel activities. Another point worth mentioning is the GM and all hotel management and staff who treat the adopted local dogs and cats as if they were family. Special mention goes to Pluto the dog who is the star of the hotel.

Could use a slight renovation here and there but nothing dramatic.

Paradise on Diani Beach

The Sands at Nomad is an exceptional, world-class resort located on a prime site on Diani Beach, Kenya. The resort is surrounded by tropical forest which ensures that there is no outside noise pollution. The forest is home to a variety of creatures, including at least 2 types of monkeys (Black and white Colobus and Syke's or Samango monkeys) Dik-dik, Bush babies (Grester Galago) and numerous species of birds. The accommodations are spacious and comfortable, ranging from standard Sea Breeze rooms to private villas. I had a Beach bungalow - ideal for single travelers or couples, whilst my friend had a standard Sea Breeze room. The Beach bungalow had the advantage of being right on the beach (literally about 15 m from the pure white sand) and benefitted from the sea breeze, whereas the Sea Breeze room, despite its name, did not get much benefit from the breeze due to tall trees which blocked the view of the beach, but had a great ambience. Both rooms were air conditioned, so the breeze was not essential. There are a wide range of watersports and activities on offer.

Whilst the breakfast buffet at Nomads Beach Bar was very good, other meals could be disappointing. The Smoked sailfish Carpaccio was delicious, but the pizza, despite an Italian chef, was tasteless. We did not try the barbecue or teppanyaki alternatives and were informed that the signature Indulge restaurant was closed. Overall a disappointing dining experience.

EXCEPTIONAL FRONT OFFICE STAFF. " RALLY" IS THE MOST SWIFT GUY I HAVE EVER MET....!

The Views at the Restaurant. Food. Music. Room. Views from the Room.

Buffet Breakfast had Orange Juice...it was not mentioned...That it is not Freshly squeezed. I informed the Duty Manager, and he agreed to rectify the mistake.

Relax on the beach

Resort located near the beach, clean room, very friendly staff, the food was good. It was very pleasure when managers invited all guests to wellcome drink.

2 hours drive from the airport. Did not respond to my e- mail with the request about the transportation to the hotel.

Too expensive, not worth the price!

Location, quiet, nice interior, friendly staff. Nice swing outside

Sheets and blankets were cold Price much too high, I expected a different quality. Poor menu at the restaurant for dinner. Poor packed lunchbox, but the panini with grilled vegetables were good. The fruit wad not good packed, so it fall out.

Amazing place, but very pricey.

Beautiful location, great staff, excellent food. Good reading light by the bed, but better reading light in the rest of the room needed and in the bathroom for makeup application.

Best what you can get in the area, fantastic choice of wines in the restaurant, good minibar in the room, a lot of sun beds, very nice pool. Staff happy to help, there are a lot of service personnel, never felt crowded or left without attention though the resort was fully booked. Very nice scenery and garden in the hotel, beach cottage is very nice and unusual to live in with great view of the ocean

Like in Zanzibar, the beach is not private and everyone wants to sell you everything, No buy is the best answer, but there are tens of local people wandering around and waiting for you to come out of the hotel area to the beach. So if you want to have the privacy, go to Sands island hotel nearby instead Security personnel asking for tips for nothing Safe box opening to 000000 code for everyone despite the code you set by yourself
