The beach contact was the best of this accommodation. I suggest to choose a deluxe room with balcony. There are 2 others room in a villa. If you have a chance, you are alone, if not, you have to share the kitchen, the fridge :-) and the seating area. Pool is quite clean. Garden is very nice. Bed was comfy, huge room with AC. Fruit jujces are delicious. A Carrefour supermarket is 3 minutes in tuk-tuk.

Garde robe room was not clear, we did not use it. Washroom is a bit used, needs maintenance, mainly valves. Water pression is weak. Breakfast is quite good for Europeans. But the dinner menu is really overpriced and the quality is so-so. Staff is not kind, they hate their job. The site is overpriced.

The property itself is beautiful with the villas overlooking the pools which are massive. There is a beachside restaurant at the back of the property, and direct access to the ocean with loungers lining the side of the property. We really enjoyed our stay here and our only regret is not staying longer. We stayed 3 days prior in Shanzu, and if we did it again, we’d skip Shanzu altogether and just stay here!

The bed was hard but it was still ok. The ONLY other thing would be that it is not within walking distance of the “downtown” area where the shops and more restaurants are. But we were fine with this as it was nice to have a balance of a more peaceful accommodation, and just go into the downtown area when we wanted to. Ubers are very cheap!

villas are great and kept clean, pools are well maintained bedrooms and showers excellent staff are very helpful and polite

facilities aging, hot water pipe in kitchen gave rusty water for a few mins. kitchen was functional.but severely lacked cooking equipment, basic things such as a sharp knife not present, all utensils were rusty. on property cooking facilitiy was very disappointing and not to a great standard.possibly.responsible for me and my wife's poorly stomach for the week.

The grounds were very well kept, clean, the staff was very helpful and friendly. The security kept things at bay and in order when locals would come to do business. Everything was great! The breakfast every morning was an experience to look forward to every morning. Watch for monkeys and Ravens, they will swoop in for your food lol.....

The towel service, and some of the facilities needs to be upgraded. The patio furniture, huts and beachside awnings needs to be upgraded or refurbished. The monkeys were a little intrusive when walking around. You didn't know if you were about to be attacked or not lol. The bathtub water spout issued water way too slow so I was unable to soak. The bed mattress was a little hard for my taste. The locals can be very aggressive and overwhelming when trying to do business. They don't take no for an answer, they just keep coming back.

Brilliant reception staff and friendly cleaning staff. I cannot praise the front desk staff enough!!! I stayed at a much more expensive hotel which had an awful beach. The beach here was incredible at this price point. Tip walk left and the beach keeps getting cleaner and cleaner. Not many people also so it felt so quiet and peaceful. Deep swimming pools and shallow ones for kids. Basic breakfast is enough. Wonderful swings to relax on and look at the sea. Brilliant AC and Fan in room. Overall despite the negatives it was wonderful.

Mosquito net had bugs inside it. Can hear everything in the adjoining room. Place is a little dated and could do with refurbishing Bathroom grout needs to be cleaned out. Beach towels so old and frayed but do the job Room towels were dirty but replaced eventually though it took a while. Breakfast staff dont come across as friendly. Security could help keep beach sellers away as they are relentless.

The location was perfect just a few steps from the beach with a great view! The restaurant was also well located with an amazing breakfast buffet menu which I highly recommend for all guests. Finally we were surprisingly pleased to find out they have a live band on Sunday afternoon until evening which we were lucky to have attended!

Only downside is the restaurant didn't accept cash and you either had to use your card or MPESA - This isn't really an inconvenience if you planned ahead so lesson learnt for next time!!!

The territory is very clean, green and well-kept. The staff is extremely friendly and fulfilled all requests very quickly. We were offered early accommodation and breakfast for free. the beach is very close and beautiful. restaurant by the ocean - everything is delicious, but outside the hotel it is significantly cheaper. The pools are large and deep. there is a children's pool.

villas need renovation. common areas are ok and rooms are old. bathrooms need updating.

it is on the beach. It has an island-feel to it. The restaurant/bar is cool and plays live music most nights, but you stay far enough to have a excellent quiet night’s sleep. It is clean and tidy. The staff are all professional and friendly. Lying on the deck chairs all day, sipping on cocktails watching the kite surfers and can escape to an air-conditioned spacious room! The nearest shop is 400 m away and a Tuk-Tuk costs KS 200 to the Carrefor, where you can buy all kinds of fresh food. We booked 2 days and ended up staying 7:-)

breakfast area, because its outside and because of the heat/humidity is a fly-paradise

Bahari Dhow Beach Villas in Diani is a peaceful haven, perfect for families or couples looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the world. The rooms were immaculate, and the pools, catering to both kids and adults, provided endless peace. The oceanfront view was simply breathtaking, especially when enjoyed from the Oasis restaurant, which served delectable dishes. The hotel staff was exceptional, always ready with a smile and eager to assist. A unique highlight was the massage spot on the beach, just a short walk away, offering relaxation at an affordable price. This place truly felt like a paradise away from home.

Spacious rooms. Early check in. Swimming pools, especially the play park in the children's pool. Access to shared kitchen, laundry area and living room.

Subtle profiling of black guests done by some guards and restaurant staff. Limited TV channels.
