Fantastic location on the beachfront, close to town, attraction sites and excursions. The room was spacious. They have 2 restaurants with good options in the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In addition to great cocktails, the beach bar & restaurant has food but these you pay as you order. Our appreciation to Samson at the reception who facilitated us to move to a first floor room on our second day. Thanks Collins for allowing us very late check out (6:30 p.m.) because our flight was in the evening and we had activities on the day of check out.

Rooms do not have sea view despite being on the beachfront.

The ambience of the resort was serene and the grounds well kept. The pools were fantastic and cleaned with chemicals that aren't harsh to the eyes or skin. All the food items were cooked perfectly and the menu selection was vast. The salads, especially, were to die for. The animation team also did a great job keeping guests entertained all day with water polo and beach volleyball activities. Service was great and the staff were friendly, accommodative and helpful.

The bed mattress was too hard for our liking and the electric sockets in our room were faulty to the extent of almost destroying our phone chargers. This was reported but no action taken. Further while booking on the app it shows Diamonds Malindi but we were given a room at Sandies Dream Garden (which we didn't mind as Sandies is beautiful as well).

The hotel was clean. The food was exceptional with very many options available. The staff were amazing to our family. I am especially grateful to Dorcas who ensured that our baby had something to eat that was similar to what she eats at home. The new chef from Sri Lanka was also superb, very friendly and also thorough with all his meals. Went from table to table asking clients how the food was. The beach bar was also a nice place to relax. The swimming pool by Sandies was the best of them all. The rooms were a decent size. We loved that they allowed for a late check out.

The bathroom floods when you shower. The pool bar staff were slow. I ordered a drink, asked after 20 minutes and was told they'd have to get it from another bar. This wasn't communicated until I asked. The check in was a bit slow considering we were travelling with a small baby. This wasn't put to consideration

The room is spacious and neat. Staff are very friendly reception on duty was a Great young man. Entertainment group led by Paulina and Nike was outstanding, they are so real and taking good care of clients. Alacart restaurant, peace was such a cool and collected waitress, Buffee restaurant Maryam was very professional expecially while serving wine.

There was no fresh juice in Alacart restaurant apart from Water mellon juice. I was expecting mango juice🤣Anyway thus on. soft note. The bar attenders were friendly and they served us even at the entertainment area🇳🇴❤️

The location is lovely, the establishment is beautiful and huge and we loved spending time by the beach. The staff are friendly, Kevin at the reception is always happy to help, Hussein, Elina and Nancy at the Onda restaurant are really nice, and Erick at the main restaurant was always helpful. The check in process was smooth and easy, the rooms are clean, as well as the bed linen and towels. They provided sufficient toiletries, i loved the thyme shower gel. The buffet breakfast was delicious, an elaborate mix of continental and local dishes, hot and cold and every meal preference was catered for in the diversity of food provided. I mentioned in passing to one staff member that i was celebrating my birthday and the next day they surprised me by decorating my bed, that was really thoughtful and cool 🥰. Then the day after they surprised me with a birthday cake complete with a birthday message on it 💗. I was truly overwhelmed, my heart is full. Thank you Diamond team, you made me feel so special on my special day.

The breakfast was excellent! So much to eat! Very courteous and professional staff...always willing to help and going beyond what you ask for. Management must take not of this and reward them generously

I didn't like the arrangement for transporting clients to the airport. Most hotels do this for free, but Diamonds Malindi overcharges clients, charging 2300 shillings for an under 10-minute ride to the airport. Note that a 45-minute ride by taxi from Jomo Kenyata Airport to the area around State House in Nairobi is 3000 Kenya Shillings

I loved having my big room with a huge balcony with a sofa to relax on at night and read my book. I also ate at the beach bar and found the food of a good standard. I also appreciated the staff who helped me book a tuk tuk to take me to the beach. I felt very safe and comfortable as a solo female traveller.

The beach is very quiet and remote. I would recommend walking to the right to see the other beach bar along the beach. I found Malindi had a real charm that offered very relaxed vibes, I think it was just a bit harder to find this out as the hotel felt a little away from the other beaches. I found it quite expensive to consider going to the tropical marine beach. But it was a beautiful hotel.

Fabulous location - about 15-20 min from Malindi International Airport. Very friendly staff . There was always someone around to help out or to direct you to someone who would . Check-in was good and clear . Kevin was very helpful and I think Mr Duncan ?. Food was a good variety. Special Shout out to our adopted grandfather ( didn’t get his name) he made sure I and the kids plus my mum were well fed and didn’t miss in some of the meals in a corner . The family room was spacious and just right with the two kids. I loved that there was a pool that was mainly for kids . It was just perfect for my 3 and 1 year old. We utilised the spa and my mum enjoyed a relaxing massage. We loved the privacy at the beach area and with all inclusive we got drinks etc ( ice-cream was charged though which was a bit meh as shouldn’t really in an all inclusive ) They’ve def done a great job of providing employment to the locals . Lots of people at hand

I had requested an airport pick up which didn’t arrive . I was okay to pick one from the airport ( which was also cheaper anyway) but I think for a non Kenyan , it would have been a bit daunting . The mattress was really hard! 😅 Lots of black birds during meals trying to steal food from plates and buffet . They genuinely were doing their best to keep them off with a catapult . I would suggest maybe having someone distract them with some food / seeds in a different area during meal times? There were a few guys trying to sell experiences at the lower beach next to the water . They left us when I said we already had excursions booked . But I could see how it could be annoying for others .

The staff are wonderful, the location is relaxing and peaceful. The food was delicious too and I loved that they had so many options. My room was big and spacious with a big bathroom as well. I had a pool view room.

The hawks just flying all over the dining area. The staff constantly had to drive them away from me because I was so scared of them.
