Cheap Hotels in Diani Beach

"After the Safari, I took a train from Amboseli to Mombasa, and then took an Uber to Diani. Swahili can be said to be one of the best hotels in this area. It is mainly a private beach with 24-hour security patrols and is relatively quiet. Other hotels basically do not have private beaches, and there are not many beach chairs near the sea on the beach. This hotel has all of them. There are also restaurants and bars on the beach. The hotel has many activities, delicious breakfast, and large rooms. It is very suitable for comfortable rest after a tiring Safari. The hotel staff are also very hardworking and serious. They will clean the seaweed on the beach early in the morning. The hotel also has corresponding beach walking and sea activities. Strong security, there is a Carrefour within walking distance at the door, which is very good. Not far away, you can take an Uber to the famous Alibaba Cave Restaurant. It is a very good resting place, suitable for a person to rest comfortably. I will come again if I have the chance."

"1. The room was fantastic, with a balcony overlooking the pool. 2. The restaurant offered a stunning sea view. Although a monkey snatched a piece of my mandazi once, it was actually a fun and unique experience. The security guards were diligent in shooing them away, but those monkeys are just too mischievous! 😄 3. The room's air conditioning was wonderfully cool, and there was also a fan, which was very thoughtful. Having two sinks and a wet/dry separation in the bathroom was excellent. 4. The check-in form stated that mini-bar drinks were replenished daily. We stayed for 3 nights, and on our second day, we were happy to finally see Coke, Sprite, and beer in the fridge, even though one bottle was leaking – no big deal. However, that was the only time we saw drinks during our entire 3-night, 4-day stay; they weren't replenished daily. We were so busy enjoying ourselves that we didn't pay much attention until we checked out. We understand the oversight and just hope other guests don't encounter the same situation. 5. The beach was perfect, and the security staff were very diligent and responsible."

"I noticed that many reviews mention the hotel not living up to a five-star standard. However, no one seems to complain that the price doesn’t match a five-star level either. In my opinion, this is an excellent hotel for the price. The property is spacious, the rooms are fresh and cleaned daily, and amenities like slippers and bathrobes are provided. The staff is welcoming, and the breakfast offers a great variety. From 4 to 5 PM, there’s a complimentary tea and pastries service, which is a lovely touch. The beach is beautiful, with plenty of loungers equipped with soft cushions. This is definitely a place I would consider returning to."

"Beautiful setting, but poor value for money Nomad has a beautiful tropical environment, and most of the staff were friendly and helpful. However, the hotel itself feels rather dated, while food, drinks, spa treatments and activities are all quite expensive. In my experience, especially the food quality did not really match the prices. The hotel app was also frustrating, as many activities and dining options were displayed but could not actually be booked through it. The beach is beautiful but public, with frequent approaches from beach boys, so it feels less private than I expected. My main disappointment was the front desk. Trip.com incorrectly showed a 12:00 PM check-out instead of the hotel’s 10:00 AM policy. Trip.com later admitted this was their system error, but I still found the way the front desk handled the situation rather unfriendly and dismissive. Overall, the environment is pleasant and most staff are nice, but at this price point I believe there are better options in Diani with newer facilities, better food and better overall value. For a similar price, I would choose another resort next time."
