"The staff here is amazing. The rooms are always immaculately clean everyday. When I go back in my room it smells amazing and looks amazing. Location is great if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. It’s literally on a private island so no stores or anything is close by (about a 30/40 minute drive) and it’s extremely hard to get an uber because they uber drivers don’t want to go all the way to Chale. But the resort does have transportation for an extra fee so no worries. Overall an amazing experience, amazing people, amazing amenities. The drinks are so fresh. I’d visit again!"
"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. "
"The beds were terrible. The beds were horrible and hurting my back. The beds have wires sticking into me and my wife’s back. These mattresses are ready for the burn pit ! Even animals should not sleep in these beds. Need to change all your mattresses to attract more clients and profits."
