    As usual, there was about the food nothing to complain about, all meals were from good quality and there was always something for everyone, it is also much european cuisine, there was a main restaurant where all meals can be taken, if you want to lunch but only a small something likes, can at the snack bar in the lower part the hotel also typical european food (pizza, burgers, spaghetti and french fries ), everything great and there is even serves, of course, there is the chronic complainers, but those one has everywhere, who here wrong expectations, should the reviews read correctly, it is a 3.5-star hotel in the style typical of the region and completely satisfactory, certainly there is also here tips, as usual in every holiday, the amount should decide everyone for itself

    The staff is always friendly and cooperative and many speak very good german, we never had the feeling it is on a tip maintained, everywhere in the hotel will whole day a bit from the staff way to relax, We had no reason to complain about something, except for the now and again, the water pressure in the showers was missing, but we were not alone and this i had previously stayed here and it is difficult to control, but i could live with it and the first grasp before showering is always first on the tap for testing

    The complex is very centrally located, right next to nicest beach section of the Diani Beach, from the airport Mombasa about 50 kilometers away, this time, the beach section were even regularly from the staff cleaned, although it is a public beach is, so that in the morning at low tide hardly seaweed or other waif was available, to the various shopping centers it is not too far, if you on foot wanted to leave this on the beach or on the street reach, but we are always with the matatu or tuk tuk dangers, the prices are very cheap and could be negotiated, opposite the hotel is the tandoori bar and the discotheque shakatak, here is night life relaxation, even fussballübertragung is offered for the people the like it, directly beside at the beach there was the beach bar Ali bar with the an unmistakable höhlenrestaurant, phenomenal

The hotel has about 160 rooms. Our room, we had supposedly superior was very spartan. Two beds, a small table with two chairs, two bedside tables with lamps, a chest of drawers. The condition the room could nevertheless something be improved, the bare white walls make a room not enjoyable. The bathroom was already renewed was our impression. Over the cleanliness we could we didn't complain. It was every day well cleaned. But we found the whole furniture was very dated.

This gave it only on demand and then it was hard to read. Perhaps made the too much work. There was in the hotel travelers from lots of different nations. Thus everything mixed, which wasn't bad. Particularly shocking we found this many pensioners. We felt like in the clinic, wheelchairs, rollators, lots of old people with sprags or which it very hard to leave this heat to face. One evening apologized the announcers during the evening event, it could now half an hour the music a bit noisy.

    Rooms were very spartan. Furniture is a little dated. I had already stated above. Totally knows everything so as in the hospital either tv telephone etc. Air conditioning, we had to always walk, otherwise you could not work. Bathroom was a bit new and large enough and was always clean also the towels were always changed.

    There was a main restaurant, but sometimes felt there as in the large hall, full of people which the atmosphere not always excellent. We always had lunch in the beach bar and it has always tasted. It was only always unfortunate that it from lunch no soda more, only flat water. We had the impression, that it wanted, also dochalles bit shorter than in the sister hotel. Especially at the drinks. About the food there was nothing to moan about we were satisfied with that, the quality was always really good. Tips were not required, but nevertheless very gladly taken.

    The friendliness all staff is to be pointed out. Many languages german, so there was absolutely no problems communicating. Room cleaning was to our satisfaction. There there are no faults. With us was the air conditioning broken, or the bathroom light. It someone immediately came by and repaired it. We stayed for our friends a doctor needed also the front desk we were helped immediately and the doctor came after a short time. The tables were in the restaurant always very clean and set. There was never cutlery and it was a nice word from the gardener to the toilettenmann.

    Entertainment was every evening something else. But unfortunately sometimes only a half hour, then the chair cushions collected. If one was on holiday stay a bit longer and would not 22 hours in bed are. Lthe beach chairs were in a good state and there were also always which free. So there was no problems we were there not so fastidiously. We didn't take advantage of the entertainment on offer and the pool either.

    The hotel is location wise very good, you are at one of the most beautiful beach sections. You can very nice beach walks. We are always in the sister hotel Diane sea resort gone, there was always very tasty cocktails and otherwise us this hotel of all better. Excursions we only took one halbtagstour to Mombasa. Were very dissapointed, for a lot of money. Everything in the quick walkthrough, we would have the market of intensive look at. But we had in the wood craver village, where we spent most of our time spent, because buy was actually mainly on the wood craver village. But we wanted to buy nothing, so we had to as long as persevere until the guide thought it is further. Shopping, night life and restaurants we didn't use.

The hotel has 167 rooms, in two categories, superior and bahari. The complex is over 40000 square meter large. The lodge has gotten old, hence the premises and the furniture strong signs of wear/wear and tear. It is only all-inclusive bookable. Wearing bändchens not applicable. With the ordering one must therefore always his room number, and a sign. Wi-fi i can't say, as we directly at arrival at the airport when safaricom a prepaid card acquired and therefore independent of the services of the hotel were. The average age was already much written. We are on the 18 february arrived. ... At this time were still lots of regular guests (older people; german nationality ) in the hotel. The high average age was really noticeable. We personally not bad experiences with other guests. After our safari (from 26,02) has the audience completely changed. Lots of young couples, partly even with children were now on site. The nationalities were became more diverse. It was still a lot speak german (also austrians), but more and more french, italian, english, russian and other languages Eastern Europe. We have us with some regular guests and know, that this partial since 20 years at the same time in the hotel are. Who so middle of february/beginning march travels, can the whole good to be missed. read more

    We had a superior room, therefore this description only on this type. The rooms are all different cut. Nevertheless big enough. You can all his things and the luggages so store, that you don't constantly climb over or something with side have to move. Above the beds are mosquito nets. They are partly holes on. The safe in the room cost 150 ksh on the day and 350 ksh deposit. He is with a key to worn out. There was neither a tv a telephone in the room. The air conditioning the heat not much to do, although we it on 17 degrees regulated have. We had the whole night at. We enjoyed the noise didn't bother us. Our room was in earshot the tandoori-bar and directly at the hotel driveway. We enjoyed the noise didn't bother us. But that everyone feels differently. Also other guests have confirmed for us, by reviews biased were there on the ground in relation to the noise is not that bad as expected. The towels smell in fact not after fabric softener. But i would not go so far as other ' reviewers' and say, that you stink. Everything is as a part of of the tolerable. Also everyone should its claims review. Finally one is not more in Germany! Otherwise the rooms rather functional decorated. No pictures on the walls. Plastic flowers on the table. The terrace is only to use, as long as in the room the air conditioning is not turned on, since the ventilation directly on the terrace blows. Next to a hair dryer, there was hand soap from Lux and two toothbrushes.

  • Gastronomy

    In total there are two restaurants. In the main restaurant (in the building the front desk) taking all three meals. In the evening alternately of the terrace or in the building. At lunch you could on the beach in the snackrestaurant change. The beverages were always chilled. At the bottom of the plastic cups you could often see, which drinks before the vessel was. The tablecloths were often dirty. We enjoyed all of this didn't bother us, because you are in such a poor country always drawbacks-also with the hygiene-make must. Once in the week gives it an african buffet. Otherwise is the kitchen rather on the german guest coordinated. Sometimes it happened, that the empty containers not refilled. But also they should be in a country like this to purchase. The atmosphere in the dining room had the charm of a cafeteria. Except at the à la carte evening, as the lighting dimmed and candles are set up.

    No matter wether gardener, cleaning lady, toilets-man, etc. , everyone greeted friendly. We distribute our tips always only at the end our stay, so i can't confirm, that the staff that influence is. A lot of employees speak german. With english you but better situated. Housekeeping was okay. In the hotel there was a hairdresser (i only had the eyebrows pull leave; 200 ksh), massage (50 minutes 1000 ksh), unobtrusive entertainment (beach volleyball, water polo, darts, Boccia, etc.). After our safari, we have a new room must. Unfortunately the bathroom dirty and it consisted of two single beds, one of which with each movement loud creaky. So we after another room asked. We could then three different rooms standing and select. Therefore very well in the 'handling of complaints'. On the subject of medical care i must say, that the hotel on whole line failed. During our stay it came to an emergency. Other hotel guests had wiederbelebungsmaßnahmen initiated, as from the hotel even nobody in the location was. With an existing school in the hotel absolutely is not acceptable. There is the hotel with its german management campaigns, has one nevertheless at least the use of knowledge of simple first aid measures. The nearest hospital is in a few minutes reached by car. Trips to the front desk, when aid would arrive, with 'pole, pole' (slowly, slow) answered. When then after 40 minutes someone arrived (without breathing apparatus, without drugs, without defibrillator, or similar), only with a stretcher equipped came any help too late. Because of this experience i can for the service only a sun, as lives are more important than everything else!

    Part the entertainment i've already under the item 'service' taken into account. Almost daily offer the entertainers excursions to, for example the waisenheim, in a massai village or a crocodile and snake farm. In the evening in zweiwöchigem change a entertainment. From bingo, a fashion show to performances of african dances is everything. The pool every day from leaves, flowers, etc. Exempt, but the tiles below the water were partly strongly discolored. The ladders for the entrance are rusty, bent and relaxed. The pool would have to be urgently overhauled completely. Also in this hotel beach chairs and umbrellas reserved. But also if we sometimes longer slept in, we always free chairs and a schattenplätzchen found. Cushions and towels, there was at the pool-boy. The beach invited to long strolls. Don't let yourselves because of the beachboys not deter. There is a shower at the beach and a by the pool. The toilets by the pool are clean, but very worn out, that they do not look like that.

    The hotel is directly at the sandy, 10 kilometer long beach. As this was public, there is no direct cleaning took place, but the staff at the hotel away after every flood everything washed ashore. The beachboys deserve only to the tourists money. We have no bad experiences with them. Who friendly but certainly waved aside, has your peace. More about that below in the tips. From the airport to the hotel we have less than two hours required. Depending on traffic on the ferry. After the safari, we have only two hours at the ferry confessed. The next village is ukunda (more like a village). There one meets no tourist at. On the street for the hotel there were altogether three smaller shopping center (on several kilometers distributed). There are local agencies for excursions, atm, hairdressers, supermarkets, souvenir shops, etc. There is several possibilities to get there. Either on foot (much too hot), with a taxi, matatu or a tuk tuk. We are twice with the matatu dangers. One waits the roadside until one and beckons it ran. Mostly hold but also without asking. It is an experience, which was a Kenya-holiday this. Directly opposite the lodge is located a indoor disco (chakalaka) and a bar (tandoori). Primarily it is local, but also tourists, especially guests of the dsl, at. At the beach (left) is a further bar (40 thieves ).

The dsl is located on one of the most beautiful beaches in Diani Beach. As many reported is the complex approximately 30 years old, so we also have the expected condition. But it is relatively clean and the garden is well maintained. We were satisfied. In the first week stock the hotel to 95% german tourists-average age 55 +. We have however exactly the peace and quiet found, the we also looked for. In the 2. week is the average age dwindled as some families with children arrived. Also are many other nationalities flown in-british, swiss, austrians, frenchmen and italians. ... With the food there are no faults, we have always found something delicious.

In the hotel there were small stores, but we found there was often the sign 'closed' as an open door. Everything we needed, we also at the beach received. No matter wether souvenirs, newspapers, snacks or desk. However, action urgently necessary. From ursprungspreis should than 50% are charged. Another possibility is the shopping center in urkunda to which one could quickly by bus or cab.

Therefore, to those which write here, you will find here nothing which they would taste or there are only 2 two marmelade and a honey, this nice people probably always something to complain about, food too cold food to warm and always the same food, yes in every hotel it will again and again something similar in the weekly change type. Bad i think those persons the expect that thousands of kilometres away from Germany every one a everyone in your own language understand needs, that is probably the rudest of all the properties which is a tourist with on ... vacation can bring 'piercing' my dear mostly from the new federal states, it is also an isolence, some vacationers, is einzubilden you can whilst dealing with the staff everything and all to reserve what is for example beach umbrella and en half the day used or table in the restaurant, terrace or wherever even if you somewhat frail is. Now what is important staff really nice and helpful and very accommodating, that is for all employees, wether cleaning staff, liegenmann, security, waiter, barman etc. read more

The Diani sea lodge could with a view of the ambience, the buildings and the garden with old palm trees, a gem of a place to be. Clouded stay from the incompetence of the staff, especially, during the holidays, for example during the new year's eve feast (much staff, the mutually disabled).

If the many pensioners (85%),the very annoying beach boys, stinky towels and the strong in need of renovation room not disturb, here be comfortable. The location is brilliant, you can get everywhere. The hotel would have to urgently renovated. The food was unusually good, had worse expected. Taste and variety were good. The staff and the service were also good. Very friendly in the restaurant! Almost everyone expects/requires a tip, starting at prior at the airport until the way back, but in the hotel rather discreet and unobtrusive. The long term have their fixed seats, no chance as to ... get a seat. The strong smelling towels are just disgusting! -the beach towels were ok without odor. We also have a 4-day safari (amboseli, tsavo east/west)-just great! Stayed at the Kerstin booked (if interested, just ask )-great price, great lodges. When TUI or so that is really expensive. read more

Because we already the 2 time in this hotel were, had a opposite the last times nothing changed, but we were nevertheless fully satisfied. For the food it always had plenty of choice, the staff were very accommodating (even without giving any tip). Because of the winter will be very much dauerurlauber, especially older people, in the hotel are, we knew many and had immediately resume contacts. But also younger tourist find fast connection. In the rooms not much done, but we only stayed in and that is enough completely. The value for money is nor reasonable therefore we will ... go again next year and we can also recommend it. read more

Better than expected With the german pensioners and above all the german regular guests we found disturbing. The lead on as they had been the hotel leased. Embarrassing. The best places on the lawn you for the duration of your stay paid, although they usually are not present. The staff in the hotel really is very friendly and hard-working. Very good food- however it must in Kenya definitely not the beef rolls with dumplings are (see above, german clientele). Whom that does not disturb and also not, that the rooms really very simple are, the water in the lines very ... salty and the towels really stink, the a excellent holiday spend. Beachboys not bad for us. The guys need the money! We were with weight-booked at the beach when Jonathan- completely okay) in masai Mara the fig tree camp. Beautiful. We will be back to Kenya -wonderful winter holiday. I would like to next time however a hotel, in a bit of international happens (bavarian flag on the sun lounger. Hello. It is still?) read more

First it seemed a bit small before, but you have to get over the layout the hotel be clear. The most rooms lie as it were before the front desk. I had first a single room #83, called 'superior single', whereby the name 'superior' really is wrong. The room was in the back bungalowrund between 2 other bungalows wedged, so that it absolutely was dark. This was a 2-floor complex directly opposite, so that one always the impression had, it could someone from gge on herin look, so i then the curtains pulled, what the whole even darker made. Furthermore ... the room was absolutely small and had no closed closet, but only an open holzregal and the ac could not be adjusted, but one had at the front desk answer, if it cooler to have wanted. I asked at the front desk to another, brighter, secluded room, but you put off me first, it is full (christmas/new year's eve). To consultation with the guide, but on the same day, interceded you well as strong, that i the next morning move could. I got a free upgrade to a double room # 141 in another bungalowquarree, side to the front desk and much more near to the beach. It was bigger, brighter and had a massive shower bath. Tvs in any room, there is a tv-room, but mostly the entertainment team or the children sat and soccer looked. The team you have questions, if you channel to have would like. But who wants to tv see with so much entertainment from the hotel. The staff were exceedingly friendly, even spoke very good german and of course also english. The food in buffet-the form was absolutely delicious and varationsreich. The soup is served, for the rest you serve yourself at the buffet. The new year's buffet had been completely in the garden developed, and also otherwise was the dinner some male nice on the terrace prepared and nicely decorated. Furthermore, there was a live band, the moderate music played and the at the dinner subsequent events were always nice and diverse. The lifeauftritte, einheimischentänze, were against shortly after 22 o'clock stopped, so that no further noise created. At 2 days also traders to the hotel and their schnitzharbeiten in the garden from, which one could buy. The garden with the chairs is extensive enough and you will find wonderful shade under the many palms, the in the garden leave are. Liked a lot also the concept, that mineral water or drinks generally not plastic bottles has been spent, with the instruction, that it in Kenya just no separation, and the bottles otherwise in the area float around. You can in any case enough drinks in 0.3 liter cups at the bar get. In the afternoon from 16-17 pm on the terrace always nice coffee- and tea-hour with delicious even baked cakes and pastry. Behind the bar there is a small dive centre, where you can register. You are then in the morning at the front desk from tauchbus picked up and the actual basis 5 minutes away brought, where you equipment leave of where you are on the boat goes. There are 2 dives in the morning at 2 different places and is at 14 o'clock back. The tauchstellen were really nice and there was a lot to see. For me the stay was very relaxing-if you are traveling from the loud german regular guests apart, the a liegestuhlburg buildings and behaved, as if they were alone in the garden! In short: i can recommend the hotel and would also again come back, but then in the right room read more

So, only really short. We had 3.5 stars no large expectations. These were however all exceeded. We felt very much at ease in this hotel. Tourist the low choice at the breakfast, allegedly incompetent employee as well as sometimes musty smelling towels etc. Weight should perhaps no long-haul journey and not at all to Kenya undertake. We had a superior family room, which big enough was. The cleaning was excellent, small faults ( a defective shower head, not existing fan in the children's room) were eliminated immediately. Still to mention is the location of the hotel. Simply great on ... one of the most beautiful beach sections of the Diani. And a word about the beach boys. The boys deserve this job their livelihood. Not interest in entertainment or shops downstairs always a friendly -no thank you-. We can recommend this hotel with a clear conscience. And if you are still on the outrageous high buchungspreise excited, should its displeasure with the tour operator or airline companies ventilate. The hotels receive the lowest quantity of the price for the journey. On the other hand for example just to Bayern ( sorry to all Bayern) travel and pork food around german standard to enjoy. Should anyone have any questions, simply announce. Susi read more

A regular customers very popular hotel. Some guests are the 15-25 time and of course certain privileges. The garden the bungalow room is very beautifully built, however the rooms are quite dark. Us has not like this. in the dining room there was a huge rush and accordingly a mess. On the 'open ' food like for instance bread felt the flies very comfortable. In the absence of a napkin or a stofftuches the bread of all the cut into your hand taken. And again back. The chef fernandez gave however his best. Very nice garden area to the beach ... with enough chairs and covers. At the beach bar was no long waiting time. It was always very quickly. We loved the snack bar at the beach. Not everyone has at noon hunger on a full meal and the offered food perfect. read more

The hotel overall a very cozy hotel with much attention to detail and flair. Also the waiters is always nice and courteous. The food is very good quality, repeated however partly very strong. Are disturbing especially the many little things like constantly shaking dining tables in the restaurant, salt all not working had, the waiters a 3 times, whether one already ordered, long queues at the buffet and sometimes even waiters, a tip anbetteln. The absolutely worst were the hotel guests alone. The hotel lives off of german retirees, either every year journeys or particular are, the partly up to ... 5 months in the hotel linger. This said guests lead partly on, as would be the hotel alone include. They cry loud on the lawn, are at the pool bar before (and of course also preferentially treated by the bartender) and in the hotel many privileges (accommodation in the most beautiful residential complex the hotel; the first row of loungers directly at the beach was always for the regular guests reserved, although this partial the whole day not on the couch were). In addition one must also be careful, that one does not in one of the above on the road nearby room was (room number 67 and darumliegend ). There you could hear the noise from the street was very noisy and the bar in front of the hotel is partly loud music until 8:30 o'clock mornings. We were allowed after complaint thank god the room change, otherwise it would be a horror holiday has become. All this destroys the actually good overall impression from the hotel. Therefor unfortunately not to be recommended, especially not for younger guests. read more
