WE absolutely loved our visit here. The staff were friendly and food was amazing. Loved the animation team and their enthusiasm. I loved the fact that my boys made friends with other guests. Missed the Vasco Da Gama walk as I was the only guest interested but the team the tried to book it the night before were very very helpful. Thank you all for an amazing experience.
We could not get a dinner table on our last night as many guests had checked in. Many apologies were given and we were attended to as quickly as possible. Perhaps there should always be someone welcoming guests at the entrance of the restaurant and explaining the situation. Evening entertainment was cancelled on our first night (Beach Party) which I was really looking forward to. The disco that replaced it was good anyway. All was really good otherwise.

The layout is beautiful with beach just few steps away. Was highly maintained by staff every single day. Although the interior looks very dated and old, but it has its own colonial kind of look to it - if you like antiques. Furniture very old, and if you don’t mind not having a television as there is none in the rooms I booked.
Very dated furniture, so old you could smell the mould and age. Rooms not appealing at all as the interior looked old. Beds so high my feet couldn’t touch the floor when sat on bed - my feet were about a meter off the floor and I’m 5ft 3inches No rugs in room either around bed - just to have a soft landing when you step down from bed

We spent the first 6 days at the village and then moved to the Dream of Africa. We enjoyed both the 4 and 5 star experience. Some facilities crossed over. The staff where the best and always tried their best to make our stay enjoyable. The food was varied and well prepared in both the buffet and a la cart restaurants. The special Saturday night buffet meals were especially enjoyable with the live music. The entertainment staff were also very visible and constantly reminding people of the programme. I chose this resort because of its evening entertainment. The Beach was perfect and the staff offered escorted walks every day to local tourist spots. I have stayed in Diani previously and found the beach here better and the sea calmer. We were always left with bottled water in the rooms which was great. We enjoyed our stay.and will certainly come again in the future.
The resort generally 4/5 star could do with some elements refurbishing. Our room in the Dream of Africa was very nice but marred by old fitting in the bathroom for example the jacuzzi bath didn't have the correct plug which made it useless and the Italian sinks both had plugs that didn't work. Also the drains did smell from time to time. I was also disappointed the 5 star resort didn't have enough beach umbrellas. The spar had beach umbrellas which were never in use but only useable if you used the spar at extra cost. We didn't let the above Marr our stay which when you take the whole stay into consideration was only a very small detraction. I only mentioned this for general feedback to the management. If you fix these issues I would give top marks.

The property was beautiful - tropical, clean vibes with a Kenyan twist. The pools were well kept and pool towels were readily available. One special offering is a tailor/dressmaker on site - Esther created and designed a custom dress for a very reasonable price - one of my favorite souvenirs!
Wifi was only available in the common area - would have been great to have had better access in the rooms.

What an absolutely incredible hotel! The hospitality we experienced here was exceptional. I cannot fault the time I had and the service received. I had the most beautiful cake done for my birthday by The Head Of Pastry Sammy, who is one of the most talented and dedicated chefs I have ever come across and I worked in hospitality for years). He made the most delicious cake to the requirements of my diet - no dairy, egg, gluten or sugar. Him and Amelia in particular were such a highlight and made our holiday. Amelia, we cannot thank enough for her kindness and care throughout the duration. I will miss these guys and the hotel itself very much. Thank you for making our stay special. Nakupenda!

The rooms were supper clean and very spacious. And the staff there are very friendly and helpful. Thanks to Charlene from the reception and George Restaurant supervisor for making our stay enjoyable.
The fact that we were on all inclusive packages but we were served an alercate menu during lunch and dinner, the menu was repetitive too, so it was kinda boring, but the meals were super nice anyway.

The hotel was perfect, the room was spacious, beds really big, shower a little bit destroyed but in total we liked it there. Personal was very nice, always smiling, food was incredible, always lot of vegetables, I really liked risotto and bacon for the breakfast. Swimming pools were clean and perfect, the better one is in the miracle garden. By the pools were always free sun beds. Animation program perfect.
-we have been there in february, ocean was really warm but we didnt like the water, it was too dirty, so much seagrass inside the water but thats not the probem of the hotel -we didnt like people on the beach trying to sell you trips and souvenirs, they we re too annoying but hotel had security so they couldnt come to your sunbeds

Spacious and set in nice grounds. The hotel i would rate as 4 star but as the rooms are in need of an upgrade I’d say the rooms are 3 star standard. The beach restaurant is fab and big shout out to Maryam who was wonderful and makes the best cocktails and moctails. Also Nancy was great waitress and Dickson is a great manager.
Bathrooms need refurbishing

Staff were amazing and stunning location
The beach was full of people trying to get you to take a boat ride and it's almost impossible to enjoy the beach and calm when the property itself doesn't give any guarantees as to whether these people are safe. It took away from the beach. I'd address this as a priority. The spa experience could also improve slightly.

The buffet, especially the dinner buffet was very abundant! And great breakfast options. The only problem was that they ran out of breakfast on the first day, with some guest missing some options. The staff are great, friendly, and very accommodative. The beachfront view is fantastic. They also allowed for late checkout. We got upgraded to the nearby Dream Garden on our last night, which was just magical.
Missing first aid box in the whole hotel when my friend fell sick, they were unable to provide basic painkillers. Missing WIFI in the rooms.
