I loved it from the moment I stepped onto the property – it’s located right on the beach! The welcoming and sweet staff made me feel at home right away, and the seafood was absolutely delicious. The art and creative style throughout the place is so unique – I even got to see some of the other rooms, each one colorful and with its own personality. I only wish I had stayed longer, and I’ll definitely be coming back soon

I was particularly impressed by the delicious and varied food served throughout the day. The all-inclusive meals never left us hungry and the buffet offered both local and international options.  The proximity to the ocean is outstanding. The lodge is right on Diani Beach, so stepping out of the hotel you are almost immediately on the white sands and azure sea.  The cleanliness of the rooms and grounds was excellent. Our room were spotless, the gardens and public areas were well maintained, and everything felt fresh.  The staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and always smiling - from reception, to restaurant, animation staff, to housekeeping - they went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable.  Overall, this was a wonderful and relaxing break.

A truly amazing experience from the moment you enter the gates. First and foremost - Super friendly and motivated staff - every gardener will give you a smile and a Jambo welcome. It is visible at every step around the enormous territory that each and every member of staff is proud to be working here and take pride in their role, smiling and ready to assist you whenever the opportunity arises. Property is well maintained, gardens are groomed and lush, everything is blooming all around you. Impressive huge baobab trees can be found in the old garden. Easy access to the beach and sunbeds. Even though rooms are not newly built, they are in excellent condition, new very quiet AC units, bright and super clean bathrooms. A pleasure for every hour spent.

The most important point to mention are the staff that work here. They are a real asset to the hotel. They are friendly, welcoming and attentive. They truly complete the hotel. The hotel itself is set right there on an amazing stretch of beach. Beautiful sea water. The pool is great. Gardens pleasant. Rooms are great (some people may have really high standards when it comes to rooms but I feel in context they are brilliant) The restaurant food is abundant and of good quality (especially the steak) Drink service was fast and drinks good. All in all, a fabulous hotel.

You feel safe inside and it helps you relaxing. The service is really good, from room service for food to laundry and transportation arrangements. The Lemongrass restaurant is a very nice and romantic restaurant inside the resort. Worth visiting it even if you do not stay at the Leopard Beach Resort.

The spirit at Kaya Kwetu is one of love and tranquility and, together with the constant sounds of the waves and the birds, feels a bit paradise-ish. Lindsay and her team are very attentive and helpful from first contact, special food requirements, transport options and late checkout. The creativity and vibe of the unique rooms has one transported into another world and it's all relaxation and connecting with nature. From the "jungle pool" to the beach walks and healthy meal options, a stay at Kaya feels like rejuvenation therapy :-)

Perfect.

Perfect. I wrote a previous outstanding review but Booking.com only posted my two comments from “suggested improvements”, which were inconsequential but gave a negative impression. The property was lovely, steps from an amazing white sandy beach fringed with coconut palms. I loved lolling on the comfy cushions on the roof terrace in the evenings. Cecilia who looked after us was amazing and a great cook. Her fish curries were to die for. The bed was comfy and the mosquito nets a great asset. The community pool was well maintained with a fabulous on site masseuse, Habiba. Amazing relaxing vacation would highly recommend.

Powdery white sand that is very easy to walk on.

Powdery white sand that is very easy to walk on. The reef about 500-600m offshore breaks the outer waves so inside the reef is moderately calm. Water shoes recommended due to sea urchins in some areas. A nice beach for walking, but you will be approached by vendors. A polite 'no' is usually sufficient. Several excellent places to eat along the stretch of beach where we stayed - Nomad's, Faulty's at the Flamboyant, Ali Barbour's Cave (reservation required), and Asha Boutique (Friday night beach buffet).
