The staff made my stay  unforgettable . Every one of them.  Such a delight to be around.
The property manger Moses ensured that I had everything I needed. Lilian and Collins made sure  I never missed a meal :) . Chef David made my birthday special with the tastiest chocolate brownie , chapatis, spinach, samosas - the list is endless! 
Check in and check out were seamless no paperwork.
Flexible meal times, specials are allowed too. 
Clean beach that’s a stone throw away.
Very quiet, secure and serene.
They do live by their mantra - a handcrafted experience.

Unforgettable

Chances upon this gem of a place.
Dropped straight to your room (villa), and paperwork ( very little) done from there.
Spacious, roomy , clean and airy. Daniel made check in seamless and always kept an eye on things. 
Very clean and housekeepers also did an evening turndown. Stocked up with plenty of water.
Meals are preordered and the chef, Godwin helped us out even with a vegetarian menu. Food was fresh and delicious. Don’t miss out on the tea- great ginger biscuits. Service was amazing with Collins(outstanding and cheerful) and staff.
There are plenty of beds in the villa and 
in front.
Swimming pool is small but can manage a few lengths.
Diani stores are nearby and the delivery by bodaboda( motorbikes) is quick if you forget something.
Wilson airport is about 15 minutes away and a smooth ride.
Will return in a blink

Found a gem

I very rarely leave a review and I know I’m hard to please but I can’t praise enough this wonderful boutique resort. The 2-bedroom villas are huge and well appointed with super comfortable beds. There is a laid back vibe and the service is impeccable. Every member of staff bends over backwards to ensure you have what you need, always with a smile. Every morning there is a suggestions board for lunch or dinner, . The food was fresh, tasty and plentiful.  The grounds are spacious and there are many places to relax by the pool or on the beach. This is an absolutely perfect place to relax 100% recommend. A truly memorable and wonderful experience. Every single member of the staff are wonderful and could not do enough for us.Thank you Dennis , Collins ,Chef . The whole setting and environment and location were fantastic. Such a relaxing place!
Thanks to all of you !!!



Simply Paradise

We have a family of five - - The staff is a big reason our stay was so pleasant. Dennis, Caroline, and Cathyrine all greeted us upon arrival with welcoming arms, had juice ready and gave a tour of the villa. From the moment we stepped into our villa until the moment we left, we were in a constant happy. 

We stayed in villa 1: four bedrooms, connecting to the kitchen and common family space. This opened up to a nice size patio with a large outdoor lounge bed overlooking the ocean which offered a nice view of the sunrise. This space always offered shade! The entire property is middle eastern decor designed with a beachy spin. The master suite is spacious - our two masseuses set up in there and had plenty of room. The sink and shower water had salt in it - that was the first for us. 

The property does not serve alcohol- but Dennis was on point and in touch with the local liquor store to have some delivered. The beach is amazing, water incredibly warm. We went snorkeling with the glass bottom boats and it was a great experience. 

The food at the Zubeida was very fresh and delicious. Shout out to Lillian, Collins, Henry and Chef - wonderful people doing an incredible job! The morning breakfast was especially wonderful for our family because that is our favorite meal. Lunch was superb - we ordered off the menu, and 4:00 tea was delightful! Dinner always yummy, only recommendation is to add a few more options. We could eat in our villa, poolside, or at the restaurant. Villa was preferred for us to spend private family time. 

Poolside was pleasant with the music and overall vibe. The grounds were well manicured- we tipped the landscaper who is there every day! I cannot remember his name, but so friendly, happy, non-invasive. 

Our experience here in one word would be tranquil and we left fulfilled with highlights, reflections, appreciations, and revelations. Thank you Zubeida staff - we send you our love!

Paradise!

My family stayed at Villa No 2 with a direct view of the sea. We had a very lovely time, thanks to the absolutely wonderful staff, Patrick, Dennis, Lilian and the rest, who made our stay very comfortable. The food was exceptional with a wide variety to choose from. The chefs were extremely accommodating to any requests. The villas are wonderfully furnished and you can hear the soothing sound of the ocean waves from the villas. The property has direct access to the white sandy beaches of Diani and my family loved the morning and evening walks at the beach as well as the beach access to the various beach restaurants around the Diani area.

Wow !!!…..Paradise on the beach !!

When we arrived it was paradise! We had a lovely villa which had everything we needed, the kitchen is great should people want to cook themselves. We had a beautiful view of the beach. It was a short walk to the beach which was a very quiet area. Breakfast was great! However, we did not have dinner at the villa. We were looked after so well by all members of staff. 

A quiet escape

Lovely place that is absolutely peaceful and tranquil, but the villas could generally do with a bit updating. Food was average and nothing to wow, that said, the staff were delightful  and really good, special shout out to Henry, who made our stay memorable.

Lovely but needs updating

We stayed 4 nights in Zubeida, as we wanted to stay right on the beach in the last few days. And we were not disappointed. Despite the renovation work (new seating area, new toilets at the pool, new kitchen) we were thrilled with the stay. This was at the great Villa No. 2 with wonderful sea views as well as the highly motivated and always friendly and unobtrusive staff.

A great stay.

Excellent service and amenities. I would highly recommend. The location is excellent with direct access to the beach, and wonderful restaurant on site.

The villas are large and spacious and are very well decorated with WIFI access and TV.

Wonderful location and service

The Zubeida lives up to its beauriful name! It is located by the beach of the white sands of Diani area! The houses are tastefully decorated and have large, grand verandas with a view of the sea! The service is excellent and the food that is served here is truly delicious and an experience. Prepare to pile on the pounds as you rest and relax in this paradise! Walks on the beach happen as you are on the beach!
