Intimate boutique hotel. It makes you feel like as if your are staying at an old friend's charming house, with the best facilities! Good rooms! Excellent Service! Amazing staff and even more amazing food! What more can I say, the best place to relax and wind down!

Best Beach Holiday!

An amazing experience in Diani Beach. Afrochic is a small hotel with only 10 rooms, which means it’s far more intimate and personal than many of the larger hotels. 
We stayed for 5 nights and have to say that this was possibly the best hotel experience we have ever had. Incredible pool and beach with sun beds and cabana’s, the rooms are large and traditional yet also have all of the modern touches you could want, and the staff are extremely attentive and generous. 
We were treated like royalty, and the a’la carte menu was fantastic. Special thanks to Norman and Ali B who went the extra mile to make our honeymoon stay perfect. 
The only negative comment, which I have seen others mention in their reviews, is the prevalence of the ‘Beach Boys’ on Diani beach. They are very persistent and to be honest quite frustrating after a couple of days. It would be great for the hotels along the beach to try to discourage so many of them, we understand they are trying to make a living, however it makes walking along this incredibly beautiful beach a little bit less glamorous. 
Definitely recommend. 5/5.

Beautiful boutique hotel where you are treated like royalty!

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.

Great hotel

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!

Needs refurbishment

This is a real gem.  The staff were great.  Amazingly friendly people and very helpful.  Our rooms were nice and very comfortable.  It was really nice to be right on the beach.  Cabanas were also nice to sit on at the beach.  It was a nice set up to be able to go from the pool to the cabana.  Walking on the beach was nice also.  We ended up eating all our meals on property and were happy with everything.  Vegans were happy as well!

GREAT PLACE

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

Elewana resort feedback  

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.


Fantastic staff, but bad location/area

I came here for a couple of nights alone to relax and it was everything I wanted it to be. The service here really stands out for me, the staff - all of them without exception - were brilliant. So helpful, so kind and really made the effort to make you feel like you were being looked after. The food was fantastic and I really liked that it wasn't a restaurant area that it was served around the garden area, it just made it feel really homely. I really like the boutique feel to it overall. The setting, right on the beach was also really lovely. My only suggestion would be that the tables/chairs around the pool area could be modernised a little. The beds on the beach were fab though. I would return.

Relaxing, delightful stay

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.

Divine Diani

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 !
