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

Nice staff, good location, and good food. The huts were modern, your own balcony and new water every day.
Wonderful stay! The hotel was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. The staff was welcoming and always ready to help, making the experience even more enjoyable for most part. The rooms were well maintained, and the amenities met all our needs.
For future travelers, I recommend booking early to secure the best rates and room options. If available, request a room away from elevators for a quieter stay. Be sure to check what amenities are included with your reservation and take advantage of any complimentary breakfast or shuttle services. Overall, a great hotel that I would happily stay at again and recommend to others.
Great for solo travelers.
Very nice small hotel with a great and very helpful staff. We did experience some power glitches, but nothing that had an impact on our stay.
Food at the restaurant was very good, I'd recommend trying the fish tacos and the tuna sashimi. Would definitely come back!
The rooms were clean and tidy and the staff were really friendly.
I would recommend staying at Lala Galu.
Thanks,
Juliet

Lala Galu was absolute vibes. This beautifully located hotel offers so much you just want to take as many photos of it as you can. The rooms are gorgeous and spacious. They are clean and the mattress was perfect for a good nights sleep.
The staff are friendly and professional and helped make our stay very comfortable. The environment is beautiful and is a really short walk to the beach. The whole vicinity just offers good vibes.
We will definitely be returning to this place.
We had an absolutely amazing time at LalaGalu. There are too many individuals to name that made our stay amazing. We will definitely be coming back. A big highlight was the food which was unbelievable! Big credit to the chefs.
The room was very cosy and I loved the decor. The resort also had a good vibe and great facilities to use. I didn't like the fact that there was no tv in the room and also the main reason why I booked this was due to the bikes that were advertised in the images. I was very disappointed that these were no longer being offered to guests. I think maybe the images with the bikes should be removed as this is false advertisment.

The staff was very kind and always helpful. Unfortunately the service was extremely slow (sometime waiting for the breakfast for 50 min or 40 minutes for a cocktail, although there are not many guests).
The breakfast options were good, a little bit limited though after a few days. Food on general was excellent quality and taste (just slow).
The facilities were limited at the room, so there is not much space. Generally perfect place for 2-3 nights but don’t recommend it for a whole week. Pool was good, beach just infront. It’s also a Instagram hotspot for local people.
I really felt excited when I booked this trip, it was a solo one but I never felt lonely.I am so glad I did because i am leaving here better than I came, all the staff are just so down to earth and loveable, be it the reception,cleaning,service,kitchen…my needs were always fulfilled.To be honest I will miss this place,already do.
Another thing the food was perfect,I loved everything I ate,special shout out to Chef Harry. His brown bread was amazing,My day was never made without it.
I will definitely return
Thank you making my vacation special,I needed that.
Much love Lavender
We stayed in Kenya (Nairobi, Mombasa, Diani Beach-2 hotels) for over 2 weeks and this is by far the highlight of our trip! We will definitely be back sometime over the next few months. The location, the ambiance, the designs, the rooms, the cleanliness, the beach, the location of the beach which is an open beach a few meters away from a social game and sports area, the food and again the food, the service and most importantly, the PEOPLE made this one of the best stays we’ve ever had.
There are many restaurants in Diani but the food was so good that we would just keep coming back (sometimes after our first restaurant reservation elsewhere). The people there were fabulous (especially Stalix, Ibrahim and the managers are all dedicated to service you).
Thank you we will be back!
Beautiful memories at LalagaLu Diani 🌴✨ Amazing staff, peaceful environment, and top hospitality. Big thanks to Douphine for the warm welcome and excellent service ❤️ Highly recommended
