We only came for dinner and drinks, not to stay. The place is beautiful for relaxing, and the pizza was really good. The service let things down a bit. Our waiter charged more for drinks than the menu listed. There was music playing, and he said it was the owner's orders, which was disappointing.

We spent a little over a week here and had such a great time. The baobab tree house was beautiful and comfortable, and the whole place felt like a little paradise. The food was really good. Their muesli was the best, and I also loved the fish tacos and the pizzas on movie and pizza night. The staff made us feel welcome and comfortable the whole time. Thanks, Diamond team, we’ll see you again sometime soon.

I came for lunch, so I can’t comment on the rooms. The place has a rustic, backpacker feel, and the pizza is possibly the best I’ve had in Kenya. The seafood pizza especially was out of this world. They even had cold beer. Definitely recommend it if you’re into pizza.

Simple, lovely place with amazing staff. The chef is seriously talented. I pushed him to the limit and he still delivered, especially with his boiled white snapper dishes and seafood pizza. I’ll be back with my gangsters 🤩

A peaceful island spot with a nice tropical beach bar vibe. The rooms are cozy, and the outdoor swing beds are great for relaxing during the day. I also loved the furniture made from local wood and vines. The pizza is the best in Lamu/Manda.
