Shimoni Reef Lodge

Amazing place! We even got a room upgrade: we booked the cottage and we were offered to go to Hemingways suite which was absolutely fantastic, with a private pool on the rooftop. The pools, both the private and the shared ones, were clean and nice. The staff is very kind and always available: they can recommend good and convenient options for visiting the marine national park. The lodge is on a beach with mangroves: don't expect to chill on the white sand of Diani, it's completely a different environment, with mangrove ecosystems and lot of conservation efforts. The food was also good. We ate abundantly at dinner and breakfast, and the staff was available to satisfy our requests and exigencies. The restaurant on the terrace, with sofa, and lot of books, makes it a perfect place to chill and relax. You can reach the KWS office (to take the boat for the marine park with a 15-minutes walk through Shimoni Village, which is small but super characteristic. We highly suggest to visit it for a very local experience. The Shimoni Slaves Caves are less than 10 minutes walking. Strongly recommended and thanks a lot for such nice hospitality.

Nothing! Maybe having something to hang the towels in the bathroom could increase the value of the room.

Peaceful, pleasant gardens, lot of space to sit. Food was great!

Bug spray is a must

Bad

We was booked full villa, but manager for next day booked to us other people.

We stayed here for our honeymoon. The location is absolutely amazing - best sunset from the restaurant deck. The pool was also a highlight. Comfortable rooms. The food was good, although it would have been nice to have some fresh fish (it was all frozen), even if it meant a smaller menu to choose from. They also organised all of our diving with Pilli-Pipa who were incredibly professional. Highly recommend any snorkelling/diving trip with them!

It would have been nice to have a kettle with tea and coffee in the room. We had to request extra water as they only provide 500ml per person per day. The place lacked a manager/owner presence. It would have been nice to get more information about the area and we had a couple of requests/questions which the staff couldn’t answer.

Great location, reasonably priced and amazingly helpful staff.

Lovely lodge in a beautiful location with friendly and helpful staff and excellent food

Great staff, super friendly and helpful. The place was cool, not the most neat, but really cool and all around great views. We enjoyed our stay. The staff even woke us up when there were dolphins in the bay, and got us a boat + driver to take us out for a look!

As said, maybe not the most neat. Pool and pool area are not the best, but its ok. Price is semi high, but you probobly wont find better in this area.

friendly management good bar and food comfortable rooms
