I have just returned from holiday at the Southern Palms Hotel in Diani beach and can say it was more than a beautiful experience. I am used to backpacking so going on a package holiday was a bit of an experience for me, however, I can say I have had the best time for my first visit to Mombasa and... more

We arrived at our second home once more for the 29th time since 1996. We were greeted like long lost friends by management and staff and it was a pleasure to enter 'our' room once once more and open the verandah to look at the palms, monkeys, soft white sands and hear the waves crashing in and out night and... more

This hotel suits us really well, The rooms very clean, the grounds extremely well kept, the staff very friendly,and the bar... more

Stayed here for a week a couple of years ago i really dont understand all the raving reviews. Sure, the pool area is really nice but everything else is just ok. My own theory on all the 4-5+ reviews is that people like Kenya and the whole experience so much so that they cant distinguise between the quality of the... more

Well I had no need to worry because it was one of the best hotels i have stayed in. The... more

I stayed in this hotel for 2 weeks in Oct 2007 with a friend of mine and we had a great time at this hotel. I would recommend for it for any age group as there were so many facilities available. It was a lovely hotel and because we had paid what I thought was more than a reasonable price... more
