Fantastic location on the beachfront, close to town, attraction sites and excursions. The room was spacious. They have 2 restaurants with good options in the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In addition to great cocktails, the beach bar & restaurant has food but these you pay as you order. Our appreciation to Samson at the reception who facilitated us to move to a first floor room on our second day. Thanks Collins for allowing us very late check out (6:30 p.m.) because our flight was in the evening and we had activities on the day of check out.

Rooms do not have sea view despite being on the beachfront.

We had the best time at Diamonds! We stayed in the deluxe suite with private pool, and it was so beautiful. Even though we enjoyed having the private pool, the facilities were so nice that you could definitely have an amazing stay without it. There were three large pools, in addition to the chargeable spa pool. Two of those three large pools had shallow areas that were safe for little children. Our 2 year old couldn't get enough of the swimming pools and didn't use a flotation device at all. The beach access is also right there, with nice sunbeds on a private beach far enough away from the beach boys. They even lent our 2 year old some toys to play in the sand with. The property is large, but everything is still easily accessible without a long walk. That was important to me at 8 months pregnant!

We were on an all-inclusive package, which was great. However the breakfast hours (7:00-10:00) lunch hours (1:00-2:30) and dinner hours (7:30-9:30) didn't always work well with a toddler's nap/sleep schedule. That is to be expected. However, unfortunately the service at the a la carte restaurant (open from 11am onward) was very slow. We were grateful to have the option for food for our son outside of the buffet hours, but we had to plan our schedule around getting him food since it always took a long time.

Splendid pools, dinner and breakfast (except drinks) wet varied and tasty. Gardens, beach and sitting areas were wonderful. The room was very big with an incredible terrace. The gym was really good equipped.

The room was incredibly hot. It was really difficult to sleep. Despite we booked a room with airco there was no airco but merely a single ceiling ventilador that didn’t reach the beds. The offer of drinks for dinner was extremely scarce. As nonalcoholic we could choose only water, cola, Fanta and one single flavor juice.

Diamonds has got to be one of the best resorts I have ever stayed. Right from the reception to the dining staff, pool staff and general attendants, everyone is courteous and professional. At check in, one of the rooms we had booked was unavailable but we were upgraded to a private suite with a private pool for free, an experience that the kids really loved. The all inclusive package is worth it, and the food is great with amazing variety. One would experience the usual hitches with delayed service etc, but the managers are great at resolving issues. The resort fronts the beach and the hotel has done a great job at creating private seating spaces by the beach where you can also work from. The evening activities facilitated by the management made our stay more enjoyable and even after we checked out and went to Watamu, we kept criticising every other place we stayed because nothing could compare to Diamonds.

The hotel runs a policy of day pass purchase when you have a guest coming in which controls people who access the hotel. However, I was meeting a client to sign confidential paperwork which could not be done at a crowded reception. We had to pay Kshs.5,000/- for him to go past the reception which they say he can redeem for all inclusive pack for that day, however he was only there for 30 minutes and only had one glass of juice. This policy should be re-looked especially for those combining their holiday with business meetings.

I loved the place. It is very beautiful and comfy. The location by the beach is superb! I had actually planned to go to Watamu but someone recommended I have dinner at Diamonds first. After I visited for dinner, I immediately cancelled my Watamu trip and checked in the next day. The staff were very friendly - Dorcas at the reception received me so well and convinced me to move in, Pauline also made sure I was comfortable during the stay since I had travelled alone. The food was also good. The activities were also good, I enjoyed the Saturday dinner in the garden and the night dancing. The spa amazing! I experienced the hydrotherapy and thalasotheraphy at the pool - Hosea talked me through the benefits and ensured I enjoyed the treatment. I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely visit again.

On the night my friends and I came for dinner, we needed help getting a taxi, we met a lady at the reception called Sophia who coldly told us there were no taxis and that we could go to the gate and flag one down - she was not helpful at all. It was late at night and we had been assured that the reception would call us a taxi. It was also disappointing to be treated in such a manner yet we had been received and served well by the other staff. Tried calling an uber, but there is no uber service, so we just walked to the gate. At least the watchman was kind enough and offered to call a taxi for us.

The location, the staff n the food

Diamond Malindi was a beautiful property. Staff was incredibly friendly, location was perfect for the activities that I wanted to experience, and the spa experience was unlike any other. Even during the pre-planing stages their staff made it easy, all of my requests were easily and quickly accommodated and planned for me, all went very smooth. Overall the facility was quiet, family friendly, and the food had great variety and options and very great quality. Definite a property to come back to.

I thought the meal buffet was very expensive for the offering. Great variety and taste but very expensive. There is another restaurant on premises, a la cart, which became a much better option.

The ambience of the resort was serene and the grounds well kept. The pools were fantastic and cleaned with chemicals that aren't harsh to the eyes or skin. All the food items were cooked perfectly and the menu selection was vast. The salads, especially, were to die for. The animation team also did a great job keeping guests entertained all day with water polo and beach volleyball activities. Service was great and the staff were friendly, accommodative and helpful.

The bed mattress was too hard for our liking and the electric sockets in our room were faulty to the extent of almost destroying our phone chargers. This was reported but no action taken. Further while booking on the app it shows Diamonds Malindi but we were given a room at Sandies Dream Garden (which we didn't mind as Sandies is beautiful as well).

The hotel was clean. The food was exceptional with very many options available. The staff were amazing to our family. I am especially grateful to Dorcas who ensured that our baby had something to eat that was similar to what she eats at home. The new chef from Sri Lanka was also superb, very friendly and also thorough with all his meals. Went from table to table asking clients how the food was. The beach bar was also a nice place to relax. The swimming pool by Sandies was the best of them all. The rooms were a decent size. We loved that they allowed for a late check out.

The bathroom floods when you shower. The pool bar staff were slow. I ordered a drink, asked after 20 minutes and was told they'd have to get it from another bar. This wasn't communicated until I asked. The check in was a bit slow considering we were travelling with a small baby. This wasn't put to consideration

The room is spacious and neat. Staff are very friendly reception on duty was a Great young man. Entertainment group led by Paulina and Nike was outstanding, they are so real and taking good care of clients. Alacart restaurant, peace was such a cool and collected waitress, Buffee restaurant Maryam was very professional expecially while serving wine.

There was no fresh juice in Alacart restaurant apart from Water mellon juice. I was expecting mango juice🤣Anyway thus on. soft note. The bar attenders were friendly and they served us even at the entertainment area🇳🇴❤️
