Mzima Beach

Mzima Beach

10/10 Excellent
"This was a good place! Convenient to the beach and with well appointed facilities overall. The Mzima apartments are larger, but on the last night I tried a unit in the Mzima House (smaller but beautiful). The pool was so inviting. Also had a dinner delivered to the room and it was quite good. Overall, I was quite happy."

10/10 Excellent
"Just checked out after an incredible stay at The Sands at Nomad. Staying right on the property for my dives is a dream—the rooms are beautiful, and going straight from your room to an amazing dive is ultimate convenience. The restaurant has the perfect laid-back beach vibe, serving incredibly fresh seafood and great drinks right on the sand. Excellent service “@Juma” and the absolute best beachfront spot in Diani. Will definitely be back."

"Staff was the highlight of the stay - super friendly and helpful. Room is dated already, not much amenity (had to ask for hair dryer every time needed to use). Same chain as Boxo so sometimes Boxo guests sneaked in and used the pool which was not very nice. An ok stay, bit less quality than the price paid"
