"Nicest most helpful staff anywhere you can find. The breakfast is buffet style and excellent, definitely worth adding to your stay. Only issues were that it took a long time for warm water to flow and the water pressure was weak. The room was small but very clean. Decent location to beach activities, but definitely not in the heart of things. "

"I had a very nice and comfortable stay at Voyager Beach Resort. It's a beautiful property - the setting, the pools, the beach bar - and it is obvious that staff and the management go out of their way to be attentive to customers' needs. There are always minor things to improve (plumbing in the rooms, tastiness of some foods), but overall I highly recommend Voyager for a beach vacation on the Kenyan coast. "

"Beautiful property and rooms, friendly and helpful staff. Overall, the food could do with improvement, for example nachos were literally Doritos or something similar, with nothing on them, and everything else mixed into a cup to dip into. Saying that, food at Zanzibar, spice route and some of the breakfast options were very good. Lots of quirks though! Only one restaurant was open for lunch, and even being low season, food took up to 1 hr 45 minutes to arrive, with no real explanation. Same when their system showed us checking out a day sooner than actual, no real reason was provided as to why. Lots of cats, many are strays or kittens, and all should be spayed or neutered. "

"We upgraded to stay in a villa closest to the beach. Well worth the extra money! The resort is located right on Diani Beach. The beach and ocean views are breathtaking. There are many activities offered to the guests. We went scuba diving, glass bottom boat ride, rode a camel, jet skiing and played volleyball. The food and drinks were very good. You won't be hungry or thirsty during your stay. The staff are amazing. Edward from the front desk was very helpful and a pleasure to meet."
