    It would have benefited from air conditioning in the bedrooms and ensuring the bugs can't get into the open plan bedroom

    Lovely gardens and accommodation. Location was good.and we spent a lot of time on the beach and in the beach bar at Soul Breeze. Staff were lovely especially our chef Hesbon.

    The bed mattress was too soft and triggered some back pain.

    Quiet location at 200m from the beach, beautifully decorated traditional villas in a well maintained garden, excellent personal cook, nice massage. The swimming pool is also very nice to spend time with the family. Lucia had arranged a taxi to pick us at Mombasa airport and a delicious dinner -Swahili prawns- was ready when we arrived. Nice selection of local crafts at reasonnable price in the small boutique. Thanks for everything, we loved our stay!

    The main issue we would pinpoint is communication with the host. Even though the staff was really amicable, any kind of communication with the host/small request felt like too much, as if timing to approach them was never good.

    Location was great but we enjoyed the complimentary chef service the most. Food was really good, he was very nice and kept everything super clean.

    very little to complain about, the only drawback was that when not being on the beach, the lack of evening breeze made the evenings on the porch sweltering hot.

    Very nice and comfortable villa located in a beautiful tropical setting, with super friendly staff. Scaever the chef was a gem!

    Great stay and the beach is very nice.

    We went at the end of the season and it was very hot, the villa is not on the beachside and didn't have the same winds and cooling effect which you typically experience in a beachside cottage. The ground floor bedrooms in our cottage was very hot due to lack of any cross wind or ventilation. Rosie gave us an extra fan which helped a bit.

    The service of chef while stay is a unique offering and is very nice. It saved us from eating out meals whilst enjoying a large variety. The chef Hesbene knew vegetarian cooking and was very punctual and committed. The host Lucia and the staff - Rosie are very nice and genuinely care about the comforts of the guests. The Wassini island trip was organised for us which was a great experience.

    We loved everything and everyone in this villa <3 Lucia and Rosie were very kind and attentive, and our personal chef Saidi was truly amazing! We were five people and felt very comfortably in the Green villa. The garden and the pool area were beautiful and well maintained too. Proximity to the beach and the main road were also great advantages. Huge thanks to the team of this great place!

    Amazing staff, loved our Chef who is very knowledgeable about variety of foods. Involved us with decision-making regarding food. The location is nice and quiet, close to the beach and other amenities, very family friendly for those families who would like some peace and quiet. Definitely recommend this resort.

    Beautiful Villa with Excellent Cook and Beach/Pool Access

    • Three-Bedroom Villa - Blue Coral
    • Stayed 4 nights

    Mosquitos are pretty bad and it is very hot. They do have fans to help, but it does make the nights more difficult.

    If you are a Genius member of Booking.com, the villa comes with a cook. He was excellent and kind. He did the grocery shopping (paid by you outside of booking cost) and made delicious meals. If your trip to Diani is about relaxation and going to the beach, this setup worked very well. The pool was clean and 30 ft from the villa. It is about a 10 minute walk to get to the beach, but it's also easy to get a tuk tuk drive there.

    This is not the responsibility of the Villa, but due to the season, the jumbo shrimps and Lobsters were hard to get. Even our competent chef had a hard time finding them. Also, the overall villa and rooms are bit smaller than we expected. Especially, upper floor was not practical to use due to the steep and narrow steps(we had young children, and I think the stairs are dangerous to young or old people). The beach is within an easy walking distance, but it still can't compare to the beach front villas. No TVs, so it could be bit boring after some days after beach and pool play.

    As a genius member, a wonderful chef was included, and he served from 8 am to 8 pm from breakfast, lunch and dinner. He even could serve snacks between meals! And the chef was an excellent and honest cook! We loved his seafood dishes. Generally, we loved the service of all the workers, especially, Rosy was very helpful and kind enough to assist us in many things.

    Nothing, it was a perfect property for our needs.

    Red coral Villa was clean and tidy with lovely rustic furniture. Traditional thatched roof with the biggest room taking up the whole roof space. Comfy beds with mosquito nets. Great pool with plenty of loungers and chairs to chill out and sunbathe. The best thing is the staff. Our personal chef, Saidi, looked after us so well. He helped us choose our meals, then went to the shops to get all the ingredients. super taste food - my favourite was the Fish curry. The villa manager, Rosie and her staff did an awesome job of keeping the villa and the gardens clean and tidy. There was also a lovely lady called Lillian who was the in house masseuse with her own treatment room by the pool. We would definitely stay here again.

    This is a place that one would think of as a perfect beach holiday accommodation - 3 villas in a beautifully kept garden full of flowers and a lovely, clean and warm pool. The personal cook for every villa means you will be served the meals you can only dream of, the cook does all the shopping as well - what else could one expect from a perfect holiday. The beach is very close, with a lovely beach bar also popular with the locals. Lucia (who lives within the same compound) and her team are always there to assist with day trips, etc. Would go back in a sec.
