Very nice small hotel with a great and very helpful staff. We did experience some power glitches, but nothing that had an impact on our stay. Food at the restaurant was very good, I'd recommend trying the fish tacos and the tuna sashimi. Would definitely come back!

Lala Galu was absolute vibes. This beautifully located hotel offers so much you just want to take as many photos of it as you can. The rooms are gorgeous and spacious. They are clean and the mattress was perfect for a good nights sleep. The staff are friendly and professional and helped make our stay very comfortable. The environment is beautiful and is a really short walk to the beach. The whole vicinity just offers good vibes. We will definitely be returning to this place.

The room was very cosy and I loved the decor. The resort also had a good vibe and great facilities to use. I didn't like the fact that there was no tv in the room and also the main reason why I booked this was due to the bikes that were advertised in the images. I was very disappointed that these were no longer being offered to guests. I think maybe the images with the bikes should be removed as this is false advertisment.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The staff was very kind and always helpful. Unfortunately the service was extremely slow (sometime waiting for the breakfast for 50 min or 40 minutes for a cocktail, although there are not many guests). The breakfast options were good, a little bit limited though after a few days. Food on general was excellent quality and taste (just slow). The facilities were limited at the room, so there is not much space. Generally perfect place for 2-3 nights but don’t recommend it for a whole week. Pool was good, beach just infront. It’s also a Instagram hotspot for local people.

We stayed in Kenya (Nairobi, Mombasa, Diani Beach-2 hotels) for over 2 weeks and this is by far the highlight of our trip! We will definitely be back sometime over the next few months. The location, the ambiance, the designs, the rooms, the cleanliness, the beach, the location of the beach which is an open beach a few meters away from a social game and sports area, the food and again the food, the service and most importantly, the PEOPLE made this one of the best stays we’ve ever had. There are many restaurants in Diani but the food was so good that we would just keep coming back (sometimes after our first restaurant reservation elsewhere). The people there were fabulous (especially Stalix, Ibrahim and the managers are all dedicated to service you). Thank you we will be back!
