I stayed at Southern Palms Resort in Diani for two nights, and while the property is stunning with one of the most beautiful swimming pools I’ve seen, my overall experience was mixed. The resort has a relaxing vibe, and most of the staff were friendly and welcoming. However, there were a few things that really affected my stay. First, there was no internet the entire time, and every time we asked about it, we were told it was being fixed—but nothing changed. It felt like we were being misled rather than given honest updates. Another issue was with our half-board meal plan. Upon check-in, we asked at the reception if we could swap our dinner for lunch on one of the days. They assured us that it was absolutely possible. But when the time came and we approached management, they completely denied it at the last minute. This caused a lot of inconvenience and showed a clear lack of coordination or willingness to honor what had been agreed upon earlier. Overall, it’s a beautiful place with great potential, but the poor communication and lack of reliability really took away from the experience. If internet and flexible service matter to you, keep this in mind before booking.

The exterior and common areas are nice but the hotel is dirty. All coushions in common areas are stained and clearly dirty. The room was extremely humid and smelled like mold, which was clearly visible in the shower. With the excellent of maybe 3 staff members out of maybe 10+ that I came in contact with, were friendly. Everyone else seemed bothered when asked for help, especially the staff at the general dining area. The exterior is nice but not worth the stay. This property is also far from the main beach area with nearby restaurants so research the area before booking.

We enjoyed our stay. The facilities were nice and the food options were adequate. However, we were disappointed to hear the entertainment was sponsored by Safaricom, a service visiting tourist have never used before nor will ever use. We would have preferred to listen to music rather than sales people talking on microphones all evening about a local service that is otherwise irrelevant to us.
