Second time around....
Our second stay at Swahili and 5 years later, it was every bit as fabulous as the first. The location and resort is beautiful. The staff here are wonderful and genuinely seem very happy - they are the absolute key to the success of the resort and we hope they are highly valued, from what we saw, this appears to be the case.

The hotel’s central location makes it convenient for exploring nearby restaurants and attractions. The property is clean, the food is decent, and the staff are warm and accommodating, which enhances the overall experience. That said, while the hotel still maintains a good standard, it’s not quite as impressive as when it first opened, with some visible signs of wear and tear. However, this doesn’t significantly impact the stay, and I would return for the convenience it offers. One downside is that the beach isn’t as great as other spots along the Diani coastline. Overall, a solid choice for its location and service.

Great gardens, wonderful staff and beautiful beachfront. The food is excellent and choices cover vegetarian needs. The only slight downside was the room. Some rooms need updating and our sink wasn’t well cleaned. There was a smell in the shower after use as well. Overall, I would go back.

My husband and I really enjoyed honeymooning at Swahili Beach resort. The service was exceptional and the food options were very delicious. Please note that there is no all-inclusive drink package so drinks you do have to pay for a la carte. Very nice amenities and beautiful room. Beach access directly in front of the resort and a lovely spa. We would definitely recommend staying here! There are monkeys in the area so just be mindful of leaving room windows open or food unattended near the swimming pool areas (monkeys are fast!).

Very nice end to our safari. We came here to relax and enjoy the coast. Our room had a beautiful view of the ocean, our food was great, we had wonderful spa treatments and were fully relaxed while there. It's an older property but is maintained well. Very beautiful grounds overall. The beach location was not the best stretch in Diani I've seen (nature is nature) but that doesn't take away from the overall beauty of the resort.
