We loved the design, hospitality and the beautiful beach. Including the very charming CEO :) Also loved the fact that I got a recipe I asked for. Just amazing 🤩

The Grill restaurant - it was good one night, but poor the next...but that just may be the supplier... the concept and the flavours and choice offered is great. Just having consistency - but then again, that is an issue worldwide with all restaurants...

Breakfast was amazing! We like the 'new' style breakfast with buffet continental component - allows us to pick and choose the fruits, juice, cereals, pastries and breads we would like, but still hot breakfast available. One thing I must say, the staff are exceptional at The Sands, smiling, friendly, not intrusive but extremely attentive. Special call out to Rally, Phoebe (at the buffet section), Salim, Jacinda, Nelly... to name a few of the staff who interacted with us almost daily... everyone though is wonderful...including the grounds staff who maintain the beautiful property, to the guys who clean out our rooms to the reception...for us The Sands at Nomad feels like home from home but with all the pampering of a 5* holiday. And of course, Luca and Guilia who's 24/7 attention to the hotel and all that goes on within is most appreciated. You can never miss to see Luca discretely walking around and making sure all is well... really appreciate that coz we know we are being constantly looked after! And most of all to 'Pluto' .... who is an absolute sweetheart. The only thing is, I don't want everyone to know about The Sands.... is that mean?! :-)

To be improved, 1/ insect control - fumigation works for some hours, required to provide the one plugged into the socket, which should protect during the all night (we were bitten by the mosquitos and had sleepless nights due to this..); 2/ sea food - no lobster, gambash, or oysters in the menu => it's Kenya, which is famous for.. but not on the menu! Why?!

The best beach at Diani. One of the best beach bars - restaurants in the area with varieties of drinks and food. Fantastic breakfasts.. Friendly personnel.

Could use a slight renovation here and there but nothing dramatic.

The location of the hotel is stunning, the beachfront seems the best out of all the adjacent hotels. The layout of the structure is great, you never feel like there is a crow around, truly relaxing and private experience. The hotel staff are lovely and kind. The management is extremely friendly and helpful. The Executive Chef makes magic food and is a great guide on hotel activities. Another point worth mentioning is the GM and all hotel management and staff who treat the ‘adopted’ local dogs and cats as if they were family. Special mention goes to Pluto the dog who is the star of the hotel.

Whilst the breakfast buffet at Nomads Beach Bar was very good, other meals could be disappointing. The Smoked sailfish Carpaccio was delicious, but the pizza, despite an Italian chef, was tasteless. We did not try the barbecue or teppanyaki alternatives and were informed that the signature Indulge restaurant was closed. Overall a disappointing dining experience.

The Sands at Nomad is an exceptional, world-class resort located on a prime site on Diani Beach, Kenya. The resort is surrounded by tropical forest which ensures that there is no outside noise pollution. The forest is home to a variety of creatures, including at least 2 types of monkeys (Black and white Colobus and Syke's or Samango monkeys) Dik-dik, Bush babies (Grester Galago) and numerous species of birds. The accommodations are spacious and comfortable, ranging from standard Sea Breeze rooms to private villas. I had a Beach bungalow - ideal for single travelers or couples, whilst my friend had a standard Sea Breeze room. The Beach bungalow had the advantage of being right on the beach (literally about 15 m from the pure white sand) and benefitted from the sea breeze, whereas the Sea Breeze room, despite its name, did not get much benefit from the breeze due to tall trees which blocked the view of the beach, but had a great ambience. Both rooms were air conditioned, so the breeze was not essential. There are a wide range of watersports and activities on offer.

2 hours drive from the airport. Did not respond to my e- mail with the request about the transportation to the hotel.

Resort located near the beach, clean room, very friendly staff, the food was good. It was very pleasure when managers invited all guests to wellcome drink.

Beautiful location, great staff, excellent food. Good reading light by the bed, but better reading light in the rest of the room needed and in the bathroom for makeup application.

Like in Zanzibar, the beach is not private and everyone wants to sell you everything, “No buy” is the best answer, but there are tens of local people wandering around and waiting for you to come out of the hotel area to the beach. So if you want to have the privacy, go to Sands island hotel nearby instead Security personnel asking for tips for nothing Safe box opening to 000000 code for everyone despite the code you set by yourself

Best what you can get in the area, fantastic choice of wines in the restaurant, good minibar in the room, a lot of sun beds, very nice pool. Staff happy to help, there are a lot of service personnel, never felt crowded or left without attention though the resort was fully booked. Very nice scenery and garden in the hotel, beach cottage is very nice and unusual to live in with great view of the ocean

Beach boys where annoying and almost made it impossible to go swimming in the ocean or walk along the beach without being bothered.

Stayed in one of the bungalows (and it was great, specious and with its own sun beds and direct access to the beach). The staff where exceptional, service minded and friendly. Great restaurants, fantastic location at the beach, and all you need at a resort in terms of service, amenities, etc. Gym was very good and well equipped. Stayed for 9 nights and had full board. The meny (and wine list) at Nomad (restaurant) is diverse with local and international alternatives. Also a lot of healthy options. Great food overall. This place comes highly recommended and we will come again.

One of the two types of point of sale machine for credit card payment was not reliable, but the staff were quick to remedy this.

The location is exceptional, with direct, unrestricted access to Diani Beach. The breakfast, which was included in the price, was remarkable for its choice and quality of food. The staff were the perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness.

I think that there should be more handrails for the steps. Even going down to the beach, the steps should have hand rails.

The beach. The view. The Nomad's bar-restaurant.

there was nothing we didn’t like

It’s great! waking up with amazing ocean view, everyone was so nice and eager to help. Rooms and facilities were always very clean. Food was probably the best food you can imagine.

Stayed in January 2023

Lack of personal touch - especially with such a high price. Overpriced transportation costs. Food at the restaurant was ok, but nothing special.

Great location, quiet place, on-site restaurant. Very nice and well-kept hotel premises.

Stayed in December 2022

Many people on the beach were aggressively trying to sell things to all tourists.

The beachfront location. Calm and quiet hotel.

No reasons to complain

We stayed here for a few nights and received outstanding service from the staff. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable while the amenities are well maintained. And the restaurants on site serve delicious food. Whilst a bit on the pricier side, it’s worth every penny you spend. Paradise!!!
