About Southern Palms

This beachfront resort boasts an idyllic destination right on the white sandy Diani Beach with transparent, cobalt waters. This is a stunning place situated in a true paradise where visitors can pamper themselves and disconnect from the everyday life.

Visitors can unwind at the makuti-roofed huts dotted along the beach, where they can enjoy a refreshing drink or a snack. All air-conditioned and charming guest rooms and suites boast a Swahili atmosphere and include a four-poster bed for a restful night's sleep.

Some of them are oceanfront and each of them comes fully equipped with a wide range of modern amenities, including a fully stocked minibar and coffee and tea making facilities. Families with children will appreciate the two free-form pools and the children's club for them to have fun.

Corporate travellers can also use the meeting facilities available for an important event.

Great location. Not the friendliest staff when we visited, and the resort could do with a little more TLC in places, but a pleasant stay regardless.
But we had a wonderful time. The Valentine's special was a rip off considering it was 90% the same food as the all-inclusive menu we had already paid for.

I spent 11 days at the resort and was thoroughly impressed by the customer service, attentiveness, cleanliness, and overall resort performance. In particular, there were several people that went above and beyond to include Sabina and Catherine in the dining hall; bartender Paul and multiple other drink servers; and managers Mercer and Defence. I was also impressed with the Spa, in so much I had four spa services. Although the spa is somewhat small for a resort this size, that didn’t take away from the professionalism and expert services demonstrated by Berniece (I believe that’s her name) and Vivian. A major observation I have is that I strongly encourage management to have hand sanitizer accessible for employees and guest throughout the resort specifically in the dining hall, and where food is served for obvious hygienic reasons.

Property is very very big and right on the beach. I would say the biggest complaint is the wifi in the room is very weak and not that much better when you go around the property. Second, please put a window instead of a screen in the bathroom. We were next to the stairs and it’s just people walking around all hours of the night talking loudly and sliding their feet in their sandals on the ground. Third, it’s not really a complaint but the pool bar would be better if it was completely wrap around. We noticed it was always the same people that went to the pool from opening to close and just stay glued to the pool bar which means less room for other people.

I had a wonderful stay at Southern Palms Beach Resort. From the moment I arrived, everything was smooth, welcoming, and very well organized. The resort is beautiful, clean, and perfectly located on the stunning Diani Beach.

My Oceanfront Deluxe room was amazing—spacious, comfortable, spotless, and with incredible views of the ocean. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the resort and the beautiful beachfront.

A special thank you goes to Regina, my Guest Experience Assistant, who truly made my stay unforgettable. She assisted with my check-in and went above and beyond to arrange several incredible experiences for me. Regina organized an amazing private dinner on the beach, which was beautifully set up and absolutely magical. She also helped arrange a fantastic beach cabana experience and a jet ski activity, which were highlights of my visit.

The entire staff at the resort was friendly, professional, and welcoming, and you can tell the team takes great pride in providing a great guest experience. Zakia, who is AMAZING, was my attendant for my cabana. I had an equally great attendant for my Dinner on the Beach.

I highly recommend Southern Palms Resort to anyone visiting Diani Beach. It’s a beautiful property with excellent service and unforgettable Indian ocean views.

\"We had an exceptional stay at Southern Palms! The property exceeded our expectations with its outstanding amenities, impeccable cleanliness, and spacious rooms. The beautifully maintained gardens and pools, which were spotless and inviting, added to the overall charm.

The beach was breathtaking, with its powdery white sand and crystal-clear waters. The staff went above and beyond, providing top-notch service with their kindness, courtesy, and attention to detail.

We especially loved the evening tea time, which offered an incredible array of savory and sweet treats catering to diverse tastes. The variety of food options was impressive, and we appreciated the effort to accommodate different ethnic dietary needs.

Overall, we're already planning our next trip back to Southern Palms – it's truly a gem!\"

Fantastic resort!

Our stay at southern palms resort was nothing short of amazing! The resort is beautiful with big pools and is located right at the beach front. Our room was big and spacious always kept neat by our lovely housekeeper Veronica. The staff at the hotel are such lovely genuine people. Everyone made us feel right at home, starting from the manager daisy who even gave us her personal contact to call her if we needed anything at any time. Elisha the bartender at the beach bar kept our drinks flowing and made sure to have conversation with each person sitting at the bar. The food was fantastic. I must recommend the bbq restaurant which had a wide selection for us meat lovers.
I will definitely visit again soon!

The property is nice with good food options for vegetarians. However, it needs some renovation as the rooms and washroom fittings are pretty old. During our stay, they started painting the outer walls of the building that was a bit inconvenient.

Great place to stay. I liked the food and the staff, very friendly. However, the local vendors can be a little aggressive and intimidating. They had events nightly on the resort so really no need to leave resort. Ran into some minor issue with Wi-Fi and room selections. Overall I would definitely return, minus the bees and flies.

Property needs some love. Showing signs of wear and tear. Rooms very average. Comfortable but definitely needs to be spruced up.

Beach is very clean and safe. Had a great time.

Food options. Lots of Indian cuisine. Got tired of it after a couple of days. Not much seafood. Please add more international choices in the Buffett

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.

The exterior and common areas are nice but the hotel is dirty. All coushions in common areas are stained and clearly dirty. The room was extremely humid and smelled like mold, which was clearly visible in the shower. With the excellent of maybe 3 staff members out of maybe 10+ that I came in contact with, were friendly. Everyone else seemed bothered when asked for help, especially the staff at the general dining area. The exterior is nice but not worth the stay. This property is also far from the main beach area with nearby restaurants so research the area before booking.

We enjoyed our stay. The facilities were nice and the food options were adequate. However, we were disappointed to hear the entertainment was sponsored by Safaricom, a service visiting tourist have never used before nor will ever use. We would have preferred to listen to music rather than sales people talking on microphones all evening about a local service that is otherwise irrelevant to us.

Southern Palms Diani Kenya

Resort had positives and negatives. Encountered wi-fi issues for 6 days before they sorted it out. The cupboards in the room did not shut, and the todt seat was loose but fixed eventually. Food generally was good on a half board basis. The staff were the resl stars of this resort. The beach setting is trully amazing. I would say the owners need to make investment into the property to stay competitive.

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 !

Party of seven all satisfied!

We had an amazing stay at this resort. The place was clean and VERY well kept. Staff was plentiful and all made sure that we were comfortable and happy. Rooms were good size and supplied with drinking water, refrigerator, safe, etc. The food was all-inclusive including alcoholic beverages. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, BBQ, all served on time with lots of choices. There were seven of us with different tastes, allergies, and dietary requirements and the menu met all of them. They served plenty of fresh fruit, egg free breads/desserts (a couple of people in our group could not have eggs and were happy to see a choice of items without them), meat choices, and vegetarian dishes as well. Fresh juices with every meal (pineapple being my favorite). There’s a pizza station, ice cream station, and a bar near one of the many pools. The grounds were well kept, pool kept clean, water aerobics sessions were fun, and nightly entertainment, along with a beautiful beach. This is not a new property but WE ENJOYED ourselves and would return. Also, treat yourself to a “four hands body massage “ where two massage therapist work on you at the same time- WONDERFUL!!!

When we arrived the fist day we were instantly greeted by staff and our bags were taken which was great. Check in was smooth and while headed to our room staff explained where everything was on the property. Now we had a long 24 hour flight to come to Diani so we had a bite to eat and walked to beach. By 9pm we were ready for bed, however there was a party right under our balcony until midnight. We called the front desk and explained to them that we were exhausted, they said they would call right back. 30 minutes later i called back to follow up. She said the party would be going until midnight but she would have the manager call back to see if there was a new room to switch to. No one ever called back of course. The next evening we were having dinner ar the buffet style restaurant, when we got up to get our supper the manager was yelling at the employees, about who was on what station. Right in the center of the room. I felt so bad for the staff. When we got back to the room another party was going on however i already knew if i called there wasnt going to be anyone to help me. Out AC leaked on the smaller bed, when i called about that they said they would send someone out but no one came so i had to share a bed with my roommate. The pool was filled with bugs that will swim and attach themself to you but that is no fault of the resort, and when u walk the beach it will not be in peace because many people will come to sell you things and excursions. Overall 3 at best.

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!!

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!

- 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.

They gave us our room and then told us to pack again as they made a mistake of giving us the wrong room. We had already unpacked and expected us to repack and move again, which we said we were not prepared. They did not give us Water in our room for the 1st two days. They then gave us botted water but did not have openers to open the bottle. so was not able to drink water. We had to go to the Bar to get water and put it our own bottle. The 2nd day we did not get any towel in our room till 4pm. how do we go the the Beach or swimming pool with these towels. to add to insult the next day they brought torn towel for us to us. The phone in the room never worked, so what ever we needed we had to go all the way to the reception to request for it. This was very inconvenient.

Room cleanliness not satisfactory

Staff are friendly but seem to be overwhelmed.
Instead of availing gloves at serving stations for guests to serve themselves, they insisted on staff serving each guest which resulted in longer queues at serving stations and this could also be the reason why they were fewer chefs manning cooking stations which also resulted in longer queues. They seem to prioritise vegetarian food and hence variety for no vegetarian is poor. On getting to our room we found stained pillow cases and the bed and pillows had hair despite waiting for more than an hour for the room to be ready. The bathroom walls had grime, meaning they are not scubbed regularly. and our room floor was always grainy and had hair even after cleaning by the room service staff.
