We enjoyed our stay. The facilities were nice and the food options were adequate. However, we were disappointed to hear the entertainment was sponsored by Safaricom, a service visiting tourist have never used before nor will ever use. We would have preferred to listen to music rather than sales people talking on microphones all evening about a local service that is otherwise irrelevant to us.

Southern Palms Diani Kenya
Resort had positives and negatives. Encountered wi-fi issues for 6 days before they sorted it out. The cupboards in the room did not shut, and the todt seat was loose but fixed eventually. Food generally was good on a half board basis. The staff were the resl stars of this resort. The beach setting is trully amazing. I would say the owners need to make investment into the property to stay competitive.

Beautiful location with a stunning beach but properly needs a little updating here and there. The internet was terrible so I would not recommend to anyone who is going to throw in some work time or anything that requires a steady network. Food was not bad and service was good otherwise.
