8/10 Good
"The hotel market itself as a 5 stars resort, at least that's what it shows on Google map. I wouldn't say it's a 5 star hotel, more like a 4 star that maybe years ago was better maintained. The staff are incredibly friendly and willing to help. Facilities and amenities are not superb, I'd say good enough. We've had only one breakfast and two dinners. They don't have (yet?) a communal area where they serve dinner, so they tend to cater guests in their rooms. We used the swimming pool a couple of times, it was clean enough. We even used outdoor gym once and that was okay. We did not use the spa. We used the airport transfer service for about 50 usd each way, which is a reasonable price. Wyclef the chef was very nice the evening we had our first dinner: basically no one had informed us about the fact that they expect guests to let reception know by a certain time (around 6pm) what they want for dinner. We didn't know that. So we waited until 8pm and we showed up at reception, nobody was there and apparently most of the staff had already gone home. So the chef himself took the order, cooked for us and attended our table. It was very nice of him, but it honestly felt a little weird for us, as we felt like we were doing something not right. So I'd say that reception and staff in general should communicate better both to the guests and among themselves. Location is good, close to the beach but expect 5 minutes walk to reach it if you're in one of the suites on top of the resorts."

"The rooms were clean and well stocked with tiny soap, lotion, shampoo and water bottles. Mosquito net looked cute and not over bearing. Stylish actually. The meals were relatively nice and fresh. No upset tummies at all. Wish they served African snacks during tea time, e.g. mahamri and sweet potato. The staff were helpful and always pleasant. Discovered the massage amenities almost too late. Very reasonable and the ladies were nice and gentle, as we wanted. Not a great space for people who have walking issues as the rooms are not near the 2 dining halls. They offered to use a wheel chair to transport but not ideal. I would stay here again. It is a smaller hotel but very relaxing."

"Just checked out after an incredible stay at The Sands at Nomad. Staying right on the property for my dives is a dream—the rooms are beautiful, and going straight from your room to an amazing dive is ultimate convenience. The restaurant has the perfect laid-back beach vibe, serving incredibly fresh seafood and great drinks right on the sand. Excellent service “@Juma” and the absolute best beachfront spot in Diani. Will definitely be back."

"Staff was the highlight of the stay - super friendly and helpful. Room is dated already, not much amenity (had to ask for hair dryer every time needed to use). Same chain as Boxo so sometimes Boxo guests sneaked in and used the pool which was not very nice. An ok stay, bit less quality than the price paid"
