Boxo Diani - Unique Beach Front Container Eco-Hotel

Very courteous staff. We were allowed to pack an early breakfast (as we wanted to step out quite early).

No entertainment in the rooms.

This is my fourth visit and I tell everyone I meet about Boxo - staff / location / value for money is great and I'll continue to go back.

Sometimes some of the bar staff are a little slow - maybe just inexperienced

Perfect

There needs to be grills to hold on to climbing the upper bed and going down

Location and affordability for beach accommodation in Diani

Extra pillows would be nice

I had such a fantastic stay at this unique ecohotel on Galu Beach. The concept alone is impressive—rooms made from transformed transport containers—but what really stood out was how comfortable and well-designed everything was. The room was much larger than I expected, with a big, cozy double bed and thoughtful touches like USB ports right within reach and a practical desk space. The bathroom was modern, with a really nice shower, and I appreciated details like the window blind and the powerful air conditioning—which, importantly, had no restrictions on usage. After a hot day, that made a huge difference. Another great touch was the refillable water bottles provided daily, with the option to top them up at the bar whenever needed. It’s a small thing, but it shows attention to both guest comfort and sustainability. Stepping outside the room, the pool was literally just one step away—super convenient and perfect for relaxing at any time of day. Breakfast was served outside at the bar, which added to the laid-back, beachy atmosphere. The beach itself is just a 2-minute walk, accessed through the adjacent sister hotel, Lala Galu. While you can’t use their pool, you can enjoy their restaurant, which is a nice bonus. The property felt very safe and well-maintained, with security in place and everything kept clean and tidy. But what truly made the stay special was the staff. They were absolutely wonderful—hardworking, polite, always smiling, and genuinely welcoming. Their positive energy really elevated the whole experience. Everything exceeded my expectations—from the creative rooms to the location, the service, and the overall vibe. A lovely hotel, amazing staff, a beautiful beach… and Kenya itself was just incredible. I would happily return!
