Service and friendliness was top notch. We had a few issues with the room being ready for us on arrival but this was remedied and we thoroughly enjoyed the stay. They catered to our two 8month old twins with each meal and provided plenty of gluten free options for me.

A large complex with two great pools and fantastic beach. The service is excellent and everyone is really keen to make sure you have a fantastic holiday. An amazing variety of food available all day- particularly good veggie options. Local drinks are included and the cocktails are great - Jackson in the main bar makes an amazing frozen banana daiquiri!! Really enjoyed our week.

This was a beautiful resort. The pools and grounds were well maintained. There was abundant staff and all were welcoming. We felt very safe at this resort and well taken care of. The food selection was good and they had many different options available. The only thing I didn't care for was the people asking to buy products while relaxing on the beach. There likely isnt much the resort can do about this and there was security around, but it didnt feel relaxing to be asked to go shop when you just wanted to listen to the ocean waves. Just noting for others to be aware of this. I would highly recommend this resort and the ocean front room was beautiful!

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.

Southern Palms may at first glance look modern day hotel but it is outdated built in 1990’s perhaps and lacking finesse. Rooms are substandard with minimum facilities & you are charged for every extra luxury! There is price dripping- room safe rental, extra charge for additional bottles of water, no iron facilities. Any service required from staff took a long time before responding! Meals were more catered for Indian tourists & could be repetitive. Personally I would not recommend this hotel if you are from overseas and not local Kenyan!!

A Wonderful Stay - Perfect for Families

My wife and I, along with our 10-month-old baby, had the pleasure of staying at Southern Palms in Mombasa in September 2024, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality. We were made to feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The food at the resort was nothing short of amazing – we truly could spend the entire day indulging in the variety of delicious offerings. We would like to acknowledge the incredible staff who made our stay extra special: - John (porter) for his cheerful welcome and helpful nature. - Walter in the buffet restaurant, who went above and beyond to ensure our baby was comfortable and happy during meal times. - Rodgers for his friendly greetings every evening at dinner. - Winnie for taking the time to play with our baby and keeping him entertained, adding a personal touch to every meal. - Defence, whom we have a special thanks for. She made sure all of our baby’s meals were prepared exactly as needed with fresh ingredients, showing genuine care for his well-being. - Elias for his warm hospitality at the restaurant. - Katherine for her bubbly personality and always having fresh fruit ready for our baby. - Sande from housekeeping, who was incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. - Benjamin for helping us with beach beds and providing such friendly service

This hotel has the most amazing food and staff! Indian vegetarian plus no onion and garlic food also available , fully cater for the Indians , and not forgetting a vast range on European, continental Chinese, Italian , they have it all!! Rooms are a little dated , but how Much time do you spend in them anyway ? If you don’t like noise , ask for a room away from where the entertainment is every night , it can get loud! Also be wary of any weddings that might be happening as this can take over the resort and it’s not a problem but you might not get any peace and quiet. Beach is beautiful! There’s beach boys selling stuff , remember to haggle. There is also some girls on the beach from a hut a bit further along the beach on the left who do the most amazing massages and cheap! You can hear the waves !That’s if you don’t want to use the resort facilities. All in all a great resort with lots of options! Even though we had a few niggles it didn’t spoil the beach time we so desperate craved !

- Wifi was unreliable - had to ask for fresh towels for my room. Otherwise I assume the expect you to reuse the same one. -Appearance of the bedroom was a bit deceptive compared to pictures on websites. - Friendly staff they were awesome, helpful and trustworthy. - Not a good location for a young couple (35/48 we found the entertainment Boring and like child’s play) Good location for those with children. -Stained bed sheets were disturbed, pen marks, dried blood etc. -Food was good but redundant. -No iron in the bedrooms, staff will assist you with ironing for a fee. At the end of the day, I wouldn’t book again. It just wasn’t a fin time for me.
