Very nice boutique hotel in a very private area of Diani Beach. Has a private sunbathing area overlooking the beach and also a great private pool. The staff are extremely friendly and there are great dining options on the hotel grounds.

The hotel is set in the most wonderful location, you can expect to have the Indian Ocean lapping your feet, the wind in your hair and the sun on your face. The staff will cater for your every need, be sure to do the 7am yoga sessions with Sam, it’ll set you up for the day, follow that with an ice cold madafu with breakfast at the Nomad bar. You must also indulge in the Sands Signature massage; 2 hours of pure bliss (as if you needed anymore!) a body scrub with followed by a massage, you will float out of the spa! The food is delicious both for lunch and dinner, we were lucky enough to be there for the full moon in March and captured some amazing photos. We are looking to return in January 2023…something tells me this could be my ‘go to place’ for some R&R and to escape the UK winter. Thank you to all the team at Sands at Nomad. You made our break so special and we can’t wait to return.

Fantastic stay, great property with helpful staff. Beach was clean and soft white sand

I absolutely recommend staying at this hotel if you are visiting Diani beach. Upon check in we were greeted with coconut water and a flower necklace, nice little welcome touch. We were also upgraded free of charge to the junior suite which made our stay even more comfortable. They also gave us a free thirty minute massage.All staff were really nice, funny and always helpful to any request.Room was equip with all amenities needed.Scuba diving courses available everyday at 4pm were absolutely fantastic.Breakfast and dinner options were good, again all staff here were really great and attentative.The beach is a public beach and could do with a seaweed clean up however the waters are beautiful and warm. Recommend leaving items in the hotel vicinity (sunbed area) and going for a dip in the ocean. You will get people coming to haggle to take you snorkeling/boat ride but they are friendly and leave you alone if you are not interested.I would for sure come back to this hotel if I return to Diani beach.

The hotel accommodation is what is to be expected from a five star beach hotel; in every respect. The staff are well trained and friendly. But the beach is the big surprise. It is stunning. I had a great holiday.

The Sands at Nomad provided a wonderful stay at one of the worlds most beautiful beaches. The staff were amazing, providing friendly, courteous and professionalism at every step. The room was spacious, comfortable and had a great view of the ocean. The restaurant was good and a perfect spot for sunset drinks and dinner. The pool bar was my favorite with great drinks, food and service. The check-in/check-out processes were quick and efficient. Benson in Guest Relations was helpful with anything needed and in arranging transportation on the day of departure. You cannot go wrong with a stay here.

Excellent for holidays.Everything is perfect, place,beach,staff,food.

Great location right in Diani Beach. Perfect for those looking to relax and enjoy the sun and sand. The hotel staff are always around and at hand to help with anything you need. They all greet you even just in passing which really does make you feel welcomed and comfortable. As it is a boutique hotel it’s simplicity is comforting. The spa was incredible. We got a few treatments in there as well as couples massage in a beautiful hut room in the middle on the forest. Very calming setting. The food was always delicious although we did venture out and try other restaurants in diani beach area. The only downside i would say is the pool. The pool area is lovely and great for sunbathing and just having a little read in the sun. The pool itself however doesnt really accommodate for all level of swimmers. Its very small and a large section of it is used for diving sessions. Overall great hotel in a great location

Excellent hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Only downside are the flies in the rainy season and a rather basis gym.

Food was good with a generous portion but not consistent. Food was half cold most of the time. We had a fantastic beach front balcony with superb view but the monkey poo in many places were stayed with us throughout the stay as they didn’t clean it up. Staff in general are nice and attentive, but we had a fly in our drink. One should know that full board here doesn’t include any drink not even water but you can select any dishes in the menu. Beach was fantastic but the so calked ‘Nomad beach operator’ who supposed to ensure no harassment by the local vendor to the guests turned to be a problem themselves as they insisted that you visited their totally overpriced shops on the beach and eventually buy something there! Otherwise, it was a nice stay!

It is a wonderful hotel complex with a lot of nature and outdoor living. The pool and the ocean is delightful and you would spend most of your time there. There are a huge number of water sports you can do and that are available including learning to Scuba Dive in the hotel and through their sports center. The restaurant had a lot of good staff - Schiller, Wilie and Bahati in particular. Benso the guest relations manager was so very helpful with recommendations on local trips for the day and also restaurant recommendations if needed. It is a beautiful lace to spend some days.

Hotel has a lovely beach. The beach beds and towels need renewing . Restaurant and bar are good and in a nice location. Rooms not quite what I had envisaged. Bar staff friendly. Overall a good stay.

Property needs to do more to remove dead palm tree branches. I saw 2 HUGE limbs fall with one of them almost hit a guest eating dinner. Also, it would be nice if the bartenders/waiters would take orders from the guests laying down by the beach instead of just hanging around in the bar.

the restaurant and the beach could have better managed....

Good location right on the beach. Lots of water activities that can be booked through the hotel. Sea breeze room with balcony was lovely.

We stayed at the sands for two nights. The owners are very nice and when they explained the eco friendly nature of the hotel it gave the place a certain charm. But the serving staff were the least friendly out of all the places we stayed in Kenya. The service was also incredibly slow in comparison to other places we stayed. Our internet wouldn’t work for the first day, however this was eventually fixed by the staff. The food is far better in the beach restaurant compared to the hotel restaurant where everything was over cooked. Little things like the handle of the toilet flush being rusty made it feel a little grotty. This isn’t a bad hotel at all, but certainly isn’t a luxury get away.

The hotel staff was very friendly and always willing to assist. We appreciated that the attitude from the staff was personal and at the same time professional. The facilities were great and we really enjoyed our visit there. Would definitely recommend it for other guests.

I had such a great trip there. the resort is lovely and well managed. give full points for cleanliness, friendly and helpful staffs. the private beach is wonderful as well as the security made me feel safe all time of my stay. One thing I'd like to suggest the hotel, you'd probably find ways to relay the water pipeline as currently the water pipeline laid over the roof making guests' shower during the day time is impossible. it was hot like a boiling water. I was arriving there in late afternoon after I had day tour in Mombasa, so I really needed the fresh shower right away but what I found was to be boiled in my room! Apart from that, all is perfect!

I liked everything about the property, except when it came to paying the bill. I wanted to pay in USD and the rate they offered was absolutely ridiculous. If I'm dumb enough to pay a 10% exchange rate penalty on the standard, then I'm not smart enough to stay in this hotel. It really left a poor taste in my mouth.

Beautiful hotel next to the beach. Excellent staff and service.

Excellent price quality ratio. Next time plan to stay 3 days instead of 2 to take advantage of scuba diving

We went to the Sands as the last the last leg of our two week trip in Kenya. Compared to some other places we stayed in Kenya, it was relatively expensive, but at the same time the service was excellent. For example the mattress in our room was extremely uncomfortable, and without a question they switched out our mattress. The food is pretty good, and the beaches are beautiful. If youre looking for a classic resort experience, the Sands is for you.
