Warning! The hotel is now Eleven Pearl, new owner and when you arrive they will not be aware of your booking! It will take a while to sort this situation out and will be stressful. The hotel and location is great though

This place was amazing for the price. I travel frequently and I rarely give such a high rating. It is a small resort right in the beach in a pristene area with a bar just feet from the ocean. The staff was amazing. The only thing that could be improved was the speed of the service on drinks. There is a jungle side pool and a nature walk area that was a huge bonus.

Dejligt sted.

Et fantastisk sted med heldigvis flest søde mennesker. Der var dog en dame, der ikke brød sig om børn og skældte mine børn ud ( 8 og 4 år). De havde et lille fitnessrum, hvor vi havde købt en familiepakke, så vi alle kunne være der. Min datter på 8 år gik ud og vaskede hænder før hun ville bruge maskinerne (hun er elitegymnastik og har et stort kendskab til tingene). I det samme kom denne dame og skældte hende ud og uden begrundelse smed de børnene ud. Vi har klaget, men en øv måde at slutte ferie af på, på et ellers pragtfuldt hotel.

Séjour très agréable avec une vue exceptionnelle sur la plage de Diani . Personnel très sympathique et la direction très efficace. L’accès à la salle de sports est payant c’est un peu dommage étant donné l’infrastructure. le transfert entre Mombasa et Diani est long pensez à atterrir à ukunda

Der Strand ist unglaublich, die Anlage direkt da dran ist ebenfalls schön und zu empfehlen. Großer Minuspunkt (und für uns auch der Grund, weshalb wir nur eine Nacht blieben) sind die aggressiven Beachboys am Strand. Wirklich jedes Mal wenn man sich zum Strand begibt, wird man von Ihnen belästigt. Sie lassen auch nicht ab und bleiben penetrant bis man im Wasser ist, was insbesondere bei Ebbe ne Weile dauern kann. Das gleiche Spiel dann auch auf den Rückweg. Entspannen ist so nicht möglich.

This was the perfect spot after a 10 day safari! Africa Pearl is a small resort that had just the right amount of comfort and services. Location was perfect, away from the huge resorts, but an easy walk along the beach to get to other restaurants or away from everyone. Quiet and secure, the staff was friendly and professional. Michael the manager and the grounds crew were especially helpful. Michael extended our checkout time which was extra nice and the guys brought us fresh coconuts every day!

A Pearl that Shines!

This was a 'solo' trip, there were heavy downpours of rain and it was the beginning of their off-season and yet I can say I had an amazing time... loved the ambience of the place, staff super helpful and location tops. I had no vehicle but with the constant flow of tuktuks on the road out front, travel to anywhere was never a problem. Afrika Pearl, highly recommended.

Very good location at beach

Altogether nice hotel, friendly staff, a hit poor on the breakfast side and partly on buffet dinner. However as it was half board booking, price/performance ratio was ok. There had been a negative incident with a staff molesting my friend which was reported to management.

Vi hade en mycket bra vistelse på Afrika Pearl. Vi blev uppgraderade till två Beach frontrum, det ena lite mindre och mörkare men det andra som var ett familjerum var fantastiskt fint. Bra städning. Restaurangen var kanske inte fyrstjärnig men god mat och väldigt bra service. Hotellområdet är mysigt med en makalös sida mot stranden och en lummig sida med pool. Fyra olika apor hittade vi på hotellet och såklart åsnan Kombo som skötte gräsklippningen! Vi är mycket nöjda med vår vistelse!

Relaxing stay, amazing views

Our stay was so relaxing! There isn`t too much rooms so it was very quiet. Only monkeys were making some noice on the roof. The view from the room to the beach was so amazing. Take the sea view if possible, its worth it I promise! The food was okay, but we recommend to try other restaurants also. The breakfast was thought very good. Beach bar was our favorite spot, very comfy sofas and the best view. The sfaff were very friendly and helpful. Massage was amazing. Our room was cleaned every day very perfectly! Hotels own donkey was funny and cute. There is some annoying beach boys, but not so many than we saw elsewhere. Price for the gym is pointless.

Excellent hotel right on the Indian Ocean

Beautiful little boutique hotel, right on the beach for long walks on the amazing sand beaches and dips in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Great service and food in the restaurant or at the beach bar. Pool for refreshing swims in a tropically vegetated oasis, teaming with birds and monkeys. Great place to base and explore.

Disappointing.

Room condition was particularly poor. Lack of privacy, poor lighting. No ability to lock the door from inside the room. Shower was open to main room with only an old, tired, shower curtain about 1/4 of the way around the shower, toilet also had no door. When we requested the manager to provide a different room, we were informed that all rooms were occupied, even though 30 mins earlier were told buffet dinner would be substituted by a la carte menu because there were not enough guests at the hotel! Food ordered took way too long to be served, poor quality, tasteless and cold. We left, and stayed at another hotel within minutes of this facility, with no refund and no regrets!
