Nice cottages in the village centre

You can hear the noise from the Cuban Bar across the street in the weekends

The place is about a 10-minute drive from Ukunda Airstrip and the staff had arranged for a taxi that waited for us when the plane landed. The place looks exactly as the pictures. There is a feeling of privacy, every morning the breakfast is served on the private terrace in front of the house and the little monkeys keep their distance. :) When you exit the main gate and turn left there is less than a minute’s walk to a supermarket, shopping, and restaurants. If you instead turn right, then there is a two-minute walk along a small path to the beautiful beach. The staff is friendly and helpful. The laundry service and extra cleaning is cheap. The water in the shower can feel a bit cold in the morning but it is not a problem and if you shower in the afternoon the water has warmed up. All windows have mosquito nets so we could keep all the windows open and had no need for the air condition. Electricity is paid for when you check out but for the two weeks we stayed there, we barely paid anything for electricity. If you use the tuk-tuks for a 10-minute trip then there is even more options of nice restaurants, shopping and even a hospital. This is absolutely a place we want to visit again.

We noticed some traffic noise when we were waking up in the morning but considering the advantages of less than a minute’s walk to shopping and restaurants this is not a problem.

excellent location right near supermarkets and restaurants and 2 min walk from beach. exceptional staff and service. great breakfast. surprisingly nice towels (which has been rare in travels in Africa), very helpful team, large spacious room and comfy bed

pillows could be a bit better. hot water takes a few mins but once it is on then it is great

Amazing pool, great compound! Felt like home!

Loved everything!

terrace and the size of the cottage, equipped kitchen

basic breakfest noise street additional cost related to electricity bill, e.g. extra charge for air con was considerably high

Small tastefully decorated large comfortable rooms. Nice breakfast. Clean pool. Monkeys which did not bother us.

At first I was nervous because they couldn't find our reservation. The computer had failed and backup not yet restored. But all worked out in a few minutes. They charge for electricity used, a small amount of money.

Very friendly staff. Very clean. We really loved it!

Nothing

Staff were attentive and friendly. I felt at home at Diani Cottages. I will return for sure.
