Diamonds Malindi

Such a nice hotel with beautiful pools. Delicious Kenyan food and good cocktails. We’ve been there for one week and we also went to safari for 2 days with Polenta Usei (highly recommended!!! +254 758 882147). Best way to spend your time in Kenya

Diamonds Malindi is a little slice of paradise! The hotel is absolutely gorgeous – stunning pools, lush gardens, and the most amazing ocean views. It’s the perfect spot to relax, whether you’re here as a couple or with family. The service was fantastic! Huge thanks to Paulina, Pina and Janek, who made our stay extra special. They always had something fun planned and made sure we were never bored – their warmth and care really made a difference. The food was incredible with so much to choose from at every meal. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all delicious, but the BBQ dinner was truly unforgettable – such a great experience! Our room was super clean and well-kept, with regular cleaning that kept everything fresh and comfortable. You can really tell the staff takes pride in keeping the place looking perfect.

After a start which was a bit hard, because we weren't informed that the hotel is partially under renovation, we finally had a fantastic stay at Diamonds Malindi, thanks to the exceptional staff, especially our butler Sammy, who made sure we were totally happy and relaxed throughout our stay. With the Premium All-Inclusive package, Sammy and Laura looked after us from start to finish. Sammy went above and beyond to ensure we always had the best table, the ideal spot on the beach and that we made the most of all the package benefits. This included an excursion to Malindi, a spa session, special beachfront dinners, access to exclusive dining menus, and a variety of drinks from all the resort’s restaurants. We learned so much about Malindi and Kenyan culture just from our brief conversations with Sammy over dinner. Thanks so much, Laura and Sammy for this great and luxurious experience. You truly made our stay unforgettable! Scuba diving was another highlight, and we’re grateful to Emanuel for the amazing underwater experience. Also, the animation team did a great job, especially with the beach walks and the incredible beach party after gala dinner. That said, the rooms could use a refresh, and the buffet options were fairly average, nothing particularly special. There’s also room for improvement in service flow—especially with wait times, such as when ordering wine, where knowing the available options in advance would be helpful. Large parts of the hotel were under renovation, which is promising for an even higher quality experience in the future. In a nutshell, after a week of safari, the service and relaxation at Diamonds Malindi was what we needed and we are grateful for the wonderful stay and the enriching encounters!

The hotel was quiet and relaxing with beautiful sea views. The staff were all very friendly and attentive and would stop and chat as if you were friends. Our room was lovely, it had a large bathroom with Jack and Jill sinks along with a shower and a jacuzzi bath. We had a garden area with a pool for our own personal use that was cleaned to a high standard daily by lovely staff. The food was lovely, we especially liked the a la carte restaurant as it was quieter and more personal than the buffet restaurant. We have a rule that we don't go to the same hotel twice but where this hotel is concerned, we will break that rule!!

The Staffa was very helpfull. Everything was at the highest level. Various activities were organized for guests every day, which ensures a balance between active rest and lazing around. The food was delicious and the rooms were clean every day. I recommend this hotel to everyone!

Beautiful place with great activities and what is the most important gorgeous staff who can help you and make you smile in every minute on your holiday! The food is delicious, big selection of meals - there is something for everyone. Rooms are clean and well-kept.
