Stunning resort. We had beach rooms with direct access to the beach. I am literally on the beach. The hotel staff were all amazing, some of which I will mention by name. Jamila, Lilly - I think, Rashid, and because I don’t remember all the names, everyone went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Thank you, hotel management and staff, for living up to our expectations and much more. If we are ever in Diani Beach, this is where we will stay

Stayed 3 nights in the beach cottage…the view is stunning and the cottage is very cozy…the first night suffered a bit from mosquito bites but the reception staff ensured the following nights mosquitos free. The beach is beautiful with soft white sand and falling asleep with the backdrop of the ocean waves was such a blessing.

Diani stay was a dream
I Loved my room. It was a sanctuary. I loved the beach and the set up of how the hotel was on the beach. Pristine, beautiful and like a dream spot. I do wish the front desk service was more professional and attentive. My arrival was fantastic. But any calls or interactions with them, was un educated about the hotel on the whole and barely helpful. The room attendees are magnificent. The wait staff were lovely. Restaurant manager was exemplary.

The Sands at Nomad is magical. The location is perfect. We had an ocean view room with a gorgeous view just steps from the beach. The property is more of a boutique so it never felt crowded. The staff was simply phenomenal. They were so kind and nice, and assisted us with whatever we needed. The onsite dining was wonderful. The pool area was lovely (just the right size for us). And, we loved the monkeys and bush babies that frequented the property. We were a family of four (two adults and two teens), and we loved staying here.

Great but there is always a room for improvement.
Sands at Nomads is great overall, but there are little things that could be improved. One big one for improvement is the restaurant - both the food and service.The menu is hit-and-miss, there are some great dishes but many far from great. The restaurant service could also be improved. During our 4 days stay, our orders were confused more than once or twice or the restaurant staff did not actually know what the dishes are.

A nice quiet small hotel with generally very friendly staff right on the wonderful Diani beach. Learner divers in the only pool could upset some people and there is a fair walk to the main restaurant.

Very nice boutique hotel in a very private area of Diani Beach. Has a private sunbathing area overlooking the beach and also a great private pool. The staff are extremely friendly and there are great dining options on the hotel grounds.

This place is amazing!
The hotel is set in the most wonderful location, you can expect to have the Indian Ocean lapping your feet, the wind in your hair and the sun on your face. The staff will cater for your every need, be sure to do the 7am yoga sessions with Sam, it’ll set you up for the day, follow that with an ice cold madafu with breakfast at the Nomad bar. You must also indulge in the Sands Signature massage; 2 hours of pure bliss (as if you needed anymore!) a body scrub with followed by a massage, you will float out of the spa! The food is delicious both for lunch and dinner, we were lucky enough to be there for the full moon in March and captured some amazing photos. We are looking to return in January 2023…something tells me this could be my ‘go to place’ for some R&R and to escape the UK winter. Thank you to all the team at Sands at Nomad. You made our break so special and we can’t wait to return.

I absolutely recommend staying at this hotel if you are visiting Diani beach. Upon check in we were greeted with coconut water and a flower necklace, nice little welcome touch. We were also upgraded free of charge to the junior suite which made our stay even more comfortable. They also gave us a free thirty minute massage. All staff were really nice, funny and always helpful to any request. Room was equip with all amenities needed. Scuba diving courses available everyday at 4pm were absolutely fantastic. Breakfast and dinner options were good, again all staff here were really great and attentative. The beach is a public beach and could do with a seaweed clean up however the waters are beautiful and warm. Recommend leaving items in the hotel vicinity (sunbed area) and going for a dip in the ocean. You will get people coming to haggle to take you snorkeling/boat ride but they are friendly and leave you alone if you are not interested. I would for sure come back to this hotel if I return to Diani beach.

The hotel accommodation is what is to be expected from a five star beach hotel; in every respect. The staff are well trained and friendly. But the beach is the big surprise. It is stunning. I had a great holiday.

Amaing stay on an amazing beach
The Sands at Nomad provided a wonderful stay at one of the world's most beautiful beaches. The staff were amazing, providing friendly, courteous and professionalism at every step. The room was spacious, comfortable and had a great view of the ocean. The restaurant was good and a perfect spot for sunset drinks and dinner. The pool bar was my favorite with great drinks, food and service. The check-in/check-out processes were quick and efficient. Benson in Guest Relations was helpful with anything needed and in arranging transportation on the day of departure. You cannot go wrong with a stay here.

Great location right in Diani Beach. Perfect for those looking to relax and enjoy the sun and sand. The hotel staff are always around and at hand to help with anything you need. They all greet you even just in passing which really does make you feel welcomed and comfortable. As it is a boutique hotel it’s simplicity is comforting. The spa was incredible. We got a few treatments in there as well as couples massage in a beautiful hut room in the middle on the forest. Very calming setting. The food was always delicious although we did venture out and try other restaurants in diani beach area. The only downside i would say is the pool. The pool area is lovely and great for sunbathing and just having a little read in the sun. The pool itself however doesn't really accommodate for all level of swimmers. Its very small and a large section of it is used for diving sessions. Overall great hotel in a great location

Food was good with a generous portion but not consistent. Food was half cold most of the time. We had a fantastic beach front balcony with superb view but the monkey poo in many places were stayed with us throughout the stay as they didn’t clean it up. Staff in general are nice and attentive, but we had a fly in our drink. One should know that full board here doesn’t include any drink not even water but you can select any dishes in the menu. Beach was fantastic but the so calked ‘Nomad beach operator’ who supposed to ensure no harassment by the local vendor to the guests turned to be a problem themselves as they insisted that you visited their totally overpriced shops on the beach and eventually buy something there! Otherwise, it was a nice stay!
