very poor. the staff polite and did what is aviable to them.
a run down hotel. the owners must be running short of cash to run a hotel. no hot water. waiters connot identify a burger and a sandwich. peporoni served as ham sanwich. lots of pools and ponds but in pathetic condition. Mosquitos breeding gound. wahte leaking through the roof in corridoors. boken tiles on the floors. 5 star prices for 3 star services.

Never Diani Reef again
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.

Great experience
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.

PATHETIC - AVOID
I really wonder How they are surviving with such pathetic service!!... Reached at 3.10pm and room allocated at 4.30pm... the joke is, the checkout time is 10AM... so how come they are taking so much time to allocate room????. (i heard same story from many other guests) Pathetic food. Being Indian vegetarian, there was hardly that was available for breakfast and meals. Staff was not so maotivated and everything takes much longer time... Will not come next time even if given free.. Was staying at Junior Suites but apart from large room, nothing was good. the Jaccuzi was not operational. AVOID.
