Chale Island Resort

The week we spent relaxing on Chale Island, after ten days of safari along dusty tracks and early-morning starts, was the perfect way to round off our holiday in Kenya. Imagine a lush, unspoilt tropical island where the rhythm of the day is dictated by nature, whether it is the tides, the wind or the calls of the families of baboons and colobus monkeys that live in the forest. The resort is nestled in the forest while still offering all the comforts a traveller could wish for. The staff are always friendly, attentive and happy to help, while the manager is present and genuinely attentive to guests’ needs. The food is of an exceptional standard, with a great variety of options at every meal and no fewer than five restaurants to choose from. Our spacious and comfortable room also had a private veranda overlooking the ocean, while the resort boasts a beautiful white-sand beach, a coral reef just steps away and a wide range of activities offered every day, all of which can be booked with a simple click through the dedicated app. Last but not least, the resort places great emphasis on sustainability and respect for the environment. A true tropical paradise, and one we very much hope to return to!

Excellent hotel in a fab location a small island off Diani beach. The rooms are large and clean. The staff are all amazing Alex by the pool was brilliant friendly and helpful, Ali, James, Erick, Celine, Anthan, Nassoro and Yvonne are excellent at their jobs . Honestly all the staff are a credit to your hotel. The beach is lovely, the pool is a good size with a nice jacuzzi. The food at the hotel was great we were able to eat at the Italian, teppanyaki, BBQ and the main restaurant which is Al a carte on our half board option. Cocktails at the sunset bar were delicious and we went there every night. The atmosphere at the hotel was chilled, relaxed with a boutique feel. There is lots to do on the island they have lots of games around the pool area (connect 4, Jenga, pool, table tennis etc) they offer scuba tasters in the pool for everyone. Lots of excursions to choose from. The manager Andrea is excellent, warm, approachable, friendly and always around to make sure everyone is happy. It was good to see a manager so personally involved in his hotel. We would definitely come back to this hotel.

I am on the island. It is wonderful. Everything here is wonderful: the rooms, the location, the service, the restaurants, and the atmosphere. It is a top. We are surrounded by nature. Don't hesitate for a moment if you want a wonderful holiday in Kenya.

Our stay at Chale Island Resort was absolutely fantastic and exceeded all expectations. The island itself is breathtaking, with crystal-clear water, beautiful nature, and a truly relaxing atmosphere. We traveled during the rainy season, but surprisingly the weather was wonderful the entire time. Because the resort was very quiet with only a few guests, we received an incredible level of attention and care from the staff, which made the experience feel very exclusive and personal. Every member of the team was friendly, thoughtful, and always ready to help. We would especially like to thank the General Manager, Andrea, whose professionalism and passion for hospitality are truly exceptional. His presence and dedication created a warm and welcoming environment throughout our stay. One thing we highly recommend is taking a canoe trip around the island — it’s a unique and unforgettable experience. An amazing place for a peaceful отдых by the ocean. We would gladly come back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kenya.

The resort was great, I enjoyed the food, the beach, the bars, and the facilities. There were a few miscommunication issues - e.g. whether I had desert included or not in my half board package, and the reception staff weren't as friendly as I'm used to in other Kenyan beach resorts on check-in/out. Otherwise, everything was smooth and I had a great time. The highlight, and what I think really makes the resort special is the excellent diving school staff, and the marine biologist. Super friendly, approachable and patient. I had a great time and would happily come back again. Thank you team.
