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.

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.

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.

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🇳🇴❤️

The Diamonds Malindi is more then recommendable, we had such a great time there. Very nice Junior Suite, the Hotelbaus well maintained and stylish. The staff is very friendly and does it’s best to give you a great time. The breakfast buffet is first class. The pools are very clean and no too much chlorine. Specially I wanna recommend the Blue Fin Diving School with it’s instructor Emmanuel, who does a great job. It was my first dive and I not felt a second unsafe.

The location is lovely, the establishment is beautiful and huge and we loved spending time by the beach. The staff are friendly, Kevin at the reception is always happy to help, Hussein, Elina and Nancy at the Onda restaurant are really nice, and Erick at the main restaurant was always helpful. The check in process was smooth and easy, the rooms are clean, as well as the bed linen and towels. They provided sufficient toiletries, i loved the thyme shower gel. The buffet breakfast was delicious, an elaborate mix of continental and local dishes, hot and cold and every meal preference was catered for in the diversity of food provided. I mentioned in passing to one staff member that i was celebrating my birthday and the next day they surprised me by decorating my bed, that was really thoughtful and cool 🥰. Then the day after they surprised me with a birthday cake complete with a birthday message on it 💗. I was truly overwhelmed, my heart is full. Thank you Diamond team, you made me feel so special on my special day.
