Top Chale Island Hotel Reviews

Diani Sea Lodge

8/10 Good

"I have stayed several times at this hotel as well as its sister hotel, in Diani. Last time was a few years back and the usual friendly and very helpful staff. This time the internet throughout the hotel compound worked perfectly, so a clear improvement since a the last visit. I can recommend staying here and also close to diving and surfing facilities."

Swahili Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were all lovely, the swimming pools were great and my room was big with a beautiful view"

Diani Sea Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Spent 3 nights, all inclusive. Food was good, drinks were great, pool was warm and clean. The room was clean and had a great view. If I ever go back to Diani I will definitely stay there again."

LalaGalu

8/10 Good

"Staff was the highlight of the stay - super friendly and helpful. Room is dated already, not much amenity (had to ask for hair dryer every time needed to use). Same chain as Boxo so sometimes Boxo guests sneaked in and used the pool which was not very nice. An ok stay, bit less quality than the price paid"

Papillon Lagoon Reef

10/10 Excellent

"Very beautiful"

Chale Island Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great in all categories."

Amkia Villas Diani

10/10 Excellent

"Modernized facility, clean apartments, nice host. I would recommend them in Diani"

Tombo House

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Not a lot of rooms so it always feels so cozy and calm. Monkeys are everywhere, near your balcony at the pool or even in the trees when you have breakfast. Food is good, even for lunch and dinner everything is homemade and has a unique touch to it. You forget about all the noise around you. Very unique experience."
