Really good Culinary Experience

During my stay, I was blown away by the culinary delights crafted by the chef at the on-site restaurant. Each meal was a delight, with the chef displaying really good skill, particularly with the pizza and sushi options being great. Dining while enjoying the ocean views made the experience even more nice.

We had a wonderful stay at The Sands at Nomad, located right on the stunning Diani Beach. The boutique hotel charm was ideal for us; it was peaceful and not overcrowded, truly a gem. Our ocean suites offered breathtaking views, and we appreciated the reserved sunbeds. However, the service at times could be a bit slow, especially at peak times. Overall, it was a memorable experience with fantastic dining options and a serene atmosphere.

The hotel is situated on a stunning white beach with a beautiful turquoise sea, making it an ideal location for relaxation. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, although some may find them a bit rustic. The dining experience exceeded my expectations with delicious meals, especially under the watchful eye of a talented chef.

Our stay at this hotel was quite enjoyable, nestled on the beautiful Diani beach with its soft white sands. The rooms were impressively spacious and comfortable, though we did encounter a few hiccups such as salty tap water and some cleaning gaps in the pool area. The dining options were nice but could use a bit more variety. We had a brief health scare with our little one, and the hotel staff promptly assisted us in getting to a clinic, which was reassuring. Overall, we had a wonderful time with some minor inconveniences.
