일리와나 아프로시크 디아니 비치

We stayed at Afrochic for 6 nights following two Safaris and it was a perfect place to chill out and relax after a week of very early mornings. Being a small hotel there is a very personal service and the staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a large choice of food from the menu and the food is cooked fresh each time. The hotel, grounds and pool are all very nice. The beach is nice however being a public beach people are harassed when you step on it from groups of up to 5/6 guys selling things. There is nothing the hotel can do to prevent this but with a security guard the sellers can’t come onto the hotel grounds. Well worth a visit if you like quiet, quality accommodation.

The best lobster thermidor I’ve ever had. The evening and day time chefs are all amazing. The food here is very good! Staff are super friendly, my favorite is Beatrice. She’s so kind and genuinely care about you. The reason for 3 stars is because of the condition of the room, especially the bathroom. It’s old and dated, makes it seem like not clean. They are closing for renovations starting October 2022 for a year. Hopefully this will address the problem. Common areas and pool are lovely!

Very warm and kind staff. I would totally recommend the place to anyone seeking for spectacular holiday destination where you can disconnect and unwind yet still feel at home, nice food and nice view of the beach

It is tough for me to give this rating to AfroChic because like the other Elewana locations, the staff here was incredible. The issue with AfroChic is that it is located in a really rough area, basically surrounded by slums with tons of homeless people. Diani Beach is certainly not a place you would want to walk around and explore. The hotel is clean but very small, old and tired. The biggest problem with our stay was undoubtedly the “beach boys” which the hotel warns you about when checking in. The beach boys are essentially homeless people who try and sell you stuff on the beach. If you step off the hotel property line, they immediately get up from up and down the shoreline and start walking towards you. They are relentless and will stand in your way trying to get back to the hotel. If you are laying on a daybed, they will stand 20 feet away from you and stare at you until you acknowledge them. We saw a couple walk towards the water and within minutes they were surrounded by a crowd of 12 beach boys (not exaggerating, they wait for you to walk off the hotel premises). In our entire 3 day stay, we did not see one guest go in the ocean from AfroChic or any of other nearby properties. You cannot lay out on the beach without being disturbed. Overall, Elewana is fantastic but Diani is not a place I would recommend anyone go to. If we could do it again, we would have spent more time on safari or just went home and went to US beaches.

What a wonderful retreat in a stunning location. Must be frank though, it is slightly worn at the edges in places. If the polished pristine of 5 star establishments is what you demand than this hotel is very likely not for you. But if top quality food, drinks and health/beauty treatments provided with attention and kindness are a measure of your rating hospitality services, Elewana AfroChic cannot be surpassed.

It was the second time in 3 years I stayed in Afrochic. Needless to say the location is perfect. The staff is always there and very helpful. They were professionals! The rooms sparkling clean and the food was excellent !!!! We were having breakfast and lunch at the hotel, as we wanted to go out in the evenings to different places. Nowhere we ate better than Afrochic !!! Next time will definitely book a full board and have only drinks outside! It is a magical place from any perspective !
