The hotel has not been refurbished since it was built . The rooms are very outdated and furniture is very old. The taps in the bathroom had rust on them. We did not have any hot water for 3 days and the rest of the days only Luke warm water. In the swimming pool which was open the tiles were coming off. It’s a 3 star hotel . The staff were very good and friendly and trying their best to run the cripple hotel. We had ordered ham sandwiches and got salami sandwiches.

The whole place looks old and really needs to be updated, both inside and outside. The staff was really nice and did theyr best, but with poor management it's absolutely not a 5 star hotel. We were 5 friends with a lot of travel experiences and we will never go back to Diani Reef.

I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff were warm and welcoming, and I’d like to give a special mention to a young gentleman and woman named Joel and purity who works at the restaurant. Joel was exceptionally courteous and professional—an absolute asset to the team. His dedication and genuine interest in improving the business were clearly evident. I’m sincerely grateful to him and the rest of the staff for making my stay so pleasant.
