Beach Paradise

Coco Kinondo is a magnificent property. The house and facilities are very modern and in perfect condition. The spaciousness is something that stands out. Each of the enormous rooms has its own private bathroom. There are parts of the house that could be part of an art gallery. Very nice use of wood in both the closets and decorative elements. The pool is exquisite. We spent a lot of time relaxing under the trees, just steps from the beach. The staff at Coco Kinondo is excellent. Eunice, the public relations manager, is always attentive to the guests' needs, with a smile on her face. Chef Felix and the pastry chef, Nick, cooked absolutely delicious meals for us. Every day they surprised us with their presentations, colors, and textures. The housekeeping service is very professional. Samuel, the property manager, was also very helpful with house matters. Shiro, the owner, is a charming woman, and she oversees every detail. She is very kind and sensitive, and will do her best to host you well. The beaches of Diani and Galu are beautiful… Indian Ocean, with temperatures above 26°C, white sand, and Maasai people offering their crafts. Close to the property, there are good spots for scuba diving and snorkeling. We will love to come back with the entire family. Thank you Shiro! ”
