Activities centre on the water. The hotel hosts the Diani Fishing Club, which organises deep-sea fishing trips and competitions. Scuba diving and windsurfing are available through local operators, with the coral reefs of Kisite Marine Park nearby. Safaris to Shimba Hills National Park or Tsavo National Park can be arranged.

The hotel also caters to events, with a conference room and beachfront spaces for weddings or corporate retreats. Breakfast is included, and the restaurant serves buffet meals for groups. The pool is open all day, and the gym operates from half past six in the morning to half past six in the evening.

The hotel is on Diani Beach Road, a short drive from Ukunda Airstrip. Flights from Nairobi land at Mombasa Airport, and the SGR train connects Nairobi to Mombasa.
