Galu Ecolodge - Diani Beach Kenya — Hotel in Kinondo ward

Beautiful location . Amazing staff However, we were asked to pay extra 500shs each for a very standard full English breakfast . This was a shock as we had paid for bed and breakfast. There were no additional items other than a few slices of avocado! The rest were pretty standard . Breakfast options are very poor, such as a smoothie vegan option and avocado on toast! If you are allergic to mint and avocado like I am, then you are stuck. When we complained to the "assistant to the director," as Larissa introduced herself, we were met with a very cold response. Larissa admitted that they are charging people staying in the beach bungalow more for full English breakfast . Larissa further confirmed to us that some of the staff are not " trained " as they are new and growing. We found Larissa to be cold and out of her depth in terms of dealing with complaints. Unfortunately, her boss, Mark, who appeared very distracted , was not any better . He didn't bother to greet us when they appeared together in the morning even though he would have been made aware by his assistant Larissa thar we were unhappy with being over charged and not being given appropriate breakfast options.

This place is suited to young backpacking people. If you are used to a more adult middle ground environment such as EP or SaN, then please don't come here . If you are used to owners who are interactive and hands-on managers, unlike Larissa, then please don't come here as you will be disappointed as we were. We have been coming to Diani for years, and this was a first for us. Thankfully, we were booked here for only two nights . I would not recommend this place to anyone who likes class...

... Galu Ecolodge - Madafoos Beach Bar and Restaurant Galu Beach Diani just updated our new cocktail & food menu 🌱 🌴🍹...

💭 This spot’s got all the goods — from juicy smash burgers to toasted sandwiches (with homemade crinkle crisps 🤤) and of course, all the coffees and cocktails you could ever need.

The restaurant sits right on the beach — a nature’s embrace of sunlight, sea breeze, and serenity. The kind of place where you can brunch with friends, sip something cold at sunset, or even catch up on work with the great Indian Ocean as your backdrop 🌊☀️

Here’s what I tried:

🥗 Buddha Bowl – a colorful mix of veggies, quinoa, falafel, avocado, and creamy tahini dressing! (My only note: make it a little more filling 😅)

Grateful to the management for letting us shoot our Pwani Viungo Podcast 🎙️ on location here. They’re open to non-resident walk-ins too, so swing by next time you’re in Galu!

Coming up next on Pwani Viungo – That Coastal Spice 🫶🏾: She’s one of Kenya’s reggae queens, her voice echoing across the continent — Cathy Matete joins us for a soulful conversession blending music, life, and self-discovery.

🍽 Name: @Galu_ecolodge_madafoos 📅 Open Daily 📍 Galu Beach – After Soul Breeze, before Pallet Café 🇰🇪 🌾 Gluten-Free Options: Yes 🌱 100% Vegan: No ♿️ Wheelchair Friendly: Yes 🐶 Dog Friendly: Yes 🌍 Sustainability: Single-use plastic ban in effect ♻️
