What was the highlight of Chale Island Resort
Amazing place, peaceful and beautiful with lovely friendly staff and great food. Would definitely like to come again.
Loved the beautiful private beach, the staff and our lovely room which was one of the bungalows looking onto the main beach. The food was also excellent with a good choice of meals. The ladies at the spa are also lovely and offer very good massages. Great sundowner bar when the tide is high.
I can’t think of anything I didn’t like.

What was the highlight of Chale Island Resort
Something special to experience when vacationing in Diani Beach, even for non-resorty types.
The location and the whole resort is beautiful. With low tide during the early part of the day you can also take a walk/small hike around the island where the ocean would normally cover ground. Really fun and you can find crabs, and starfish on your walk, as well as some other sea creatures. The food is great, countless breakfast options, great food options in general. Although the sushi bar/restaurant is not the best value. Staff is friendly and helpful. I am happy to carry my own luggage, but per the resorts policies (with the staff) they really insist in helping you (I guess some guests are into that kind of thing). The service is topnotch, whether you are at the swimming pool or the beach, the staff will quickly provide you with beach towels. We went during low season it seems, so it was not very busy, which is perfect for guests (perhaps not so much for the resort). But I am sure this added positively to my experience as a completely full/booked resort may have a different sort of experience.
There are quite a few activities to be done at Chale Islands, some paid, some complementary for the guests. Many are organised through the diving 'school'/hut that is on the island. Unfortunately when we went by there was no one there to assist us. They do have an app, it would be nice if somehow the app could further assist in using some of the options or at least to communicate with a staff member in charge of the activities. I think they have a number that can be called. It was the weakest chain in an otherwise splendid experience on Chale Island.

Island Paradise
The staff are friendly, attentive & always happy to help. Thanks to Eric & Collins we always had extra cold Tusker Ciders available as we asked to have them kept in the freezer. This resort is smaller than other commercial resorts which makes it much nicer - less people & more space to your selves. We originally booked half board but upgraded to all inclusive for $80 pp per day which is definitely worth it as it gives you the freedom to enjoy all the delicious cocktails, local beers, wine etc available. The cocktails are better than anywhere else we’ve had in Kenya so far. The position is also great as it is secluded & not a lot of the public are around the beach unlike in Diani. I like that the food is not served buffet style except for the salad bar & continental breakfast so you can choose what you would like from a menu. There are a variety of options for food as there is a main restaurant (BLD), small sushi bar (LD) & outdoor grill restaurant at night (this was by far our favourite as the seafood is fresh & cooked exactly they way you like it). There is also a variety of activities available such as snorkeling, kayaking, spa etc. My husband especially enjoyed the deep sea fishing experience. We absolutely loved our stay & will definitely be back!
Something to improve on is the pillows in the rooms - softer feather pillows would have really enhanced our stay. I also think that the room could benefit from the addition of a kettle with a small plunger for coffee & tea etc in the mornings
