Amazing beach (and semi private with security👌). The public areas - lobby, bar etc have been renovated, they have obviously rebranded. Room wise - only ocean views are renovated since 2023. I hear the Garden View Rooms will also be renovated (i stayed in this category - it serves the purpose & we had partial ocean views. Only complaint is that the room does look very tired & the beds, pillows weren't the most comfortable). The food, staff, beach, facilities makes it worthwhile👌

If you are white, you will have a blast and good service.
If you are black, brace yourself for poor service and unequal treatment from the staff. Prepare to wait for longer compared to the white counterperts to be served.
Day one, i arrived and my room wasnt ready. I was asked to wait for 45 mins for it to be ready. 2 hrs later, it wasnt ready.
My room was filthy and hadnt been cleaned properly and only had a bedsheet on my bed and I had to cover myself with only a bedsheet until the following day. The shower was broken and i had to request for it to be fixed and the room to be cleaned. I had to also request for enough towels in the room.
I experienced lack of inclusion and inequality at the pizzeria where I waited for a pizza for over 45 mins while every other person who was white even the ones who came before me were served and even left while I hadnt been served not even a drink. I expressed my frustration and I told the waitress I see unequal treatment and she told me they were getting the chicken. The pizza had \"soup\" and was soggy.
On Tuesday night, I got a stomach bug woth diarrhea and in the morning i reported to the reception and I was asked to fill a form and that the nurse will be coming. I filled the form and i also noticed some other white people and another family had reported the same. Guess what! The nurse came and attended the white guy and us, the black people, were left behind. No one called to check up on me. I have alot of inequality examples

The property was going through renovation during my visits with hoarding and building works. A number of paths and walkways were closed including the main bar/lobby area. I’m sure it’s will be great once completed.

The beach boys outside the property are aggressive and persistent, which is a shame as I avoided going onto the beach/sea several times.

We had a renovated sea view room which was very nice. The gardens are well kept and maintained.

Greta hotel with lovely stay

The hotel and grounds are stunning, with beautiful gardens and breathtaking ocean views that create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The food at the restaurants was delicious, though after a few days, I felt more variety in cuisine would be nice, especially for longer stays.

The staff, particularly Rael and Caroline in the restaurant, were incredibly friendly and attentive, which really enhanced our experience. We stayed in the Bustani Garden Suites, which were spacious, luxurious, and offered lovely views. However, housekeeping could have been more thorough as it often felt like only the bare minimum was done.

The hotel is undergoing renovations, with the spa temporarily moved to old bedrooms. The massage itself was great, but the temporary space felt dark and uninviting, lacking the relaxing spa atmosphere. We also had an issue with our room booking, where despite prior confirmation, we were later asked to pay for an additional person.

Despite these small issues, the stay was enjoyable. The location, food, and staff were excellent, and I would recommend Diamonds Leisure Beach for a relaxing getaway in Mombasa. Just be sure to confirm booking details before arrival.

Def wouldn’t recommend.The receptionist are not welcoming I was kept waiting for 4hrs yet I paid for my room through Expedi to make it even worser they conversed in “Swahili” talking about let’s send them away and even giggled about it. Mind you I just arrived and had jet lag. Their customer service is poor. I emphasis extremely poor! Loved the environment tho. Totally not worth the frustration

Lovely resort and well managed. The team at the front desk are welcoming and friendly. The cleaning staff were responsive and happy. The waiters/waitresses during meals need some training on place settings and table etiquette. The chefs made wonderful, fresh meals daily and attentive. The all inclusive package is a must have cocktails are included which was a nice touch.

What I liked: the oceanfront room was exactly as advertised; beautiful stepping out to the porch and watching the ocean. The room was decent and comfortable. The water pressure and hot water was great. The size of the property is amazing, multiple pools, cleaned daily. The interior of the hotel, the reception area, all very nice. The hotel also has a waterfall, garden feature. Plenty of beach beds. The afternoon tea was unexpected and great, really helped me to manage my meals. The massage was blissful. I enjoyed a lot of the features of the hotel.
What I didn’t like: People complained about the monkeys but my issue was the flies. I don’t get why the hotel wouldn’t have fly catchers and repellants at the restaurant and around food. You’d find flies in the syrup and flies consistently buzzing around food. The internet was just okay but not very stable. The hotel needs a wifi booster. The hotel also isn’t very accommodating with outside food. They won’t warm it for you and there were no microwaves in the room. That wasn’t very cool.

It’s a good enough hotel but working on the flies and Internet would be very good. And microwaves in premier rooms like oceanfront rooms would be good.

As stated in the title the hotel is attached to a golf club. The course is very pleasant, and has some challenging holes.
The hotel overall must be due a good spring clean and a lick of paint.
Certainly the shower in my room needed a good scrub down with bleach or a similar cleaning agent. Flip flops were definitely used every time I showered! The yellow brown stains on the grout weren’t the most reassuring!
The staff are all extremely helpful and always have time to make you at home. Top marks to Gladys in the restaurant, who is always helpful and welcoming, always on top of her job.
I stayed on a bed and breakfast basis, so only had breakfast food on this stay. A few times I found that the set up first thing in the morning was slack. For example no milk set out, no boiling water for tea, no tea cups. Nothing big, but annoying when you have an early tee time booked, and have to wait around for it to be sorted out. Simple every day routine, let down by a lack of supervision of the food staff.
If you are intending to play golf this hotel is the one to choose! The prices are reasonable, the hotel is fairly comfortable, the golf course is a short stroll from the hotel. You must have a caddy, who will use a trolley to tow your clubs, all told Kes1000. Cheap as chips!
There are plenty of sun loungers, and beach towels are readily available. The pool is well maintained and cleaned of leaves every morning. There is a pool side bar.
The beach is a real pleasure.

Paradise views

This is my second time staying at Leisure. The place is pure paradise.

Pros:
* Right on the beach.
* Paradise views.
* Spacious rooms with balconies or patios
overlooking the pool or beach.
* Friendly staff.
* Great buffet with dinner entertainment.
* Onsite Spa.
*Good security.

Cons:
* TERRIBLE INTERNET CONNECTION.
* Way to many monkeys running around that
are very disturbing. They kept jumping up
on the balconies and patios taking peoples
belongings. One even jumped on my leg
when I was walking by. This apparently
seems to be a commom problem with
many of the hotels within the area and is
not exclusive to Leisure.

Excellent place for family and couple to gateway

We all enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.
The rooms were very clean and presented just as we imagined. The food was very good, buffet breakfast and dinner was something to look forward to, all variety of dishes and plenty of fruits and vegetables to eat.
The resturant had a show to entertain us at dinner time, which the whole family was looking forward to. I say family, because it was my wife and i, plus her adult sisters and their mum. 5 of us.

An excellent place and great value for the money.

This hotel is on the best Beach in Mombasa/Diani. It is on the beach and the golf course is across the road. The service staff is excellent. It has started to look a bit tired but still in excellent shape. The hotel offered breakfast which was very good. It also served evening dinner which catered for mixed type of guests. The meat tended to be slight over cooked, but a lot of food was cooked in front of you and I could tell the chef to leave it slightly rare.
Be prepared to see monkeys around the place despite several security boys with a catapult to scare them.

Really good!

Great hotel! The room was spotless, the staff was helpful and went above and beyond. The hotel is on a great stretch of beach. The food was fantastic as well. Overall a darn near perfect experience! The only thing that confused me was that some parts of the hotel seem abandoned or like they're not longer in use. The property is enormous and I wandered around using the map (probably outdated). Some parts of the hotel didn't appear to be in use although they were still labeled as such on the map. This is just a neutral observation really; my experience at this hotel was outstanding.

Great hotel on Diani Beach, Mombasa (Kwale).

The beach is fantastic and so are the numerous pools around the vast compound. The food quality and variety was very good. The staff are friendly and attentive. The only downside is that there is a bit of a walk down steps to get to the beach, so not suitable for the physically challenged (no ramps or lifts).

The situation by the ocean is superb but entertainment caters for the over 60’s European tea dancing market so there was no Traditional or contemporary African entertainment. Our first Garden room was dirty with lizard poo so we moved to a sea view room we had originally booked. Cleaner. Staff friendly & generally helpful. Maximum 3 star. It is a 1970’s property that is badly in need of renovation. Beach was clean & beautiful. Beware of a long ferry crossing to Diani beach if you arrive after 3 pm. Easy trip on way back to catch SGR train to Nairobi. Pay the extra for 1st Class & take some food. Saw some elephants from the train.North Coast is better. Mombasa has been cleaned up a bit. Hotel food adequate but overpriced for what the hotel offers. Despite the above we had a relaxing three days
