Diani - Chale Marine National Park and Reserve Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

We could not wait to see the crystal waters of the Indian Ocean!  It was love at first site!  What a spectacular experience to have together as a family!  We were mesmerized by the clarity and color of the sea.  The sand was stark white, but soft and smooth. We stayed at the Pinewood Beach Resort located on Diani Beach near Mombasa, Kenya.  A glass bottom boat scooped us up from the resort and took us to a beach atoll where we could snorkel, swim and sun ourselves.  We saw beautiful fish, coral, sea urchins, and an eel.  Fisherman labored away on their hand carved boats and sailboats in the middle of paradise, as we tried to memorize the views.

The only thing I did not like was the buffet service for breakfast. They could serve the hot drinks and keep the food warmer. They can come bring the bill versus you going to pay. Lots of wasted time sitting doing nothing when they can be serving. Other than that front desk was quick, polite. Waiters ...
