Southern Palms Beach Resort

We recently stayed at Southern Palm Beach Resort in Diani for our honeymoon, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed, and the entire stay exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to the manager, Mercie, who went out of her way to make our celebration extra special. Her thoughtful touches and genuine hospitality truly stood out. The staff were consistently friendly, attentive, and professional always ready with a smile and happy to help. The all-inclusive experience was exceptional, with a great variety of delicious food and drinks, and plenty of activities to enjoy. The resort itself is beautifully maintained, with stunning beach views and a relaxing atmosphere. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to start our new chapter. Highly recommended for couples, families, or anyone looking to unwind in paradise!

The overall location is gorgeous. Ocean facing and stunning.

This was my first solo trip and I chose Kenya because I have Kenyan colleagues who are delightful. For the portion of my trip in Diani Beach I chose Southern Palms. The name alone as well as the online reviews and photos were very convincing. I had an upper level room with a pool and partial ocean view that were both amazing. Like a postcard. The food is great, but the hostess and restaurant team are even better. First of all I'd like to thank Defense (yes that's her name) the restaurant supervisor. You were beyond attentive. So warm and welcoming from the moment we met and throughout my stay there. Thank you for sharing the "magic" of the "bird sanctuary." That memory and your kindness will stay with me always. Daisy, the GRO, what an absolute sweetheart you are. Meeting you was like meeting family. Mahamoud, the GM, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to accommodate me. You were prompt to assist and to ensure my stay was great. Some other mentions are Teresia -hostess, Joyce- server, and Sarah- receptionist, for commendable customer service. I hope to see you all again as I plan to return next year with my family. Until then, asante Sana.
