The restaurant menu had way too much dishes for staff to handle; at least this time of low season. In result some dishes had no similarities with the real raw model the name of dish came from. But some dishes were very good.

Good size of room, large bathroom, well kept pools. Big TV, quiet location, fantastic seaview from the garden, easy to have a walk in the area and safe. Friendly staff, good breakfast but slow.

The serenity and quietness of the hotel!!! Just perfect! And being at the sea front made evenings perfect for a sit and chill watching the sunset and listening to the wind. The staff were also exceptionally polite and friendly. If you’re looking to rejuvenate and take some time out. This is it! I think I found my spot anytime am off for R&R 😁

We didn’t get drinking water in our rooms until we asked about it after finding out all other guests were receiving 2 bottles every day.

I really enjoyed the swimming pools. We stayed at the new Villas which are very modern and comfortable.

The chef took a lot of time to make the food. Sometimes the staff asked constantly how is everything I found difficult to relax 100%

The views, the facilities. It was clean… I loved the room

The accommodations were pristine, offering ample space and a luxurious bed fit for royalty. The air conditioning worked flawlessly, ensuring our comfort throughout our stay. Our taste buds were tantalized by the delectable meals, with the tangy tamarind juice and succulent pork chops quickly becoming our favourites. And let's not forget the delightful English breakfasts enjoyed each morning against the backdrop of a breathtaking sea view. I'm definitely coming back.

The room was not as clean but unless you are a germophobe like me, you wouldn’t notice.

The staff were very homely and responsive.

The location might not be for everyone as there is no direct access to beach at high tide. But a very short and cheap tuk tuk or boda boda ride gets you anywhere in Watamu at any time.

An exceptional boutique hotel with massive air conditioned rooms, huge comfortable king bed, great showers, 2 salt water pools, good food and very few people. I loved my stay here and extended for 2 additional nights to soak it all in. Perched on a sea cliff top, there's a commanding view of the beautiful bay And a secret tunnel to directly access the tide pools and sandy beaches at low tide.

The internet was quite slow and buggy. So if you plan to work from here, get a kenyan sim and some data. That worked well for me for a zoom call. But of course you are coming to relax anyways, right =). Also, while the breakfast was nice, I usually love a good buffet. This was a la carte. I guess that helps to not waste food so i respect it. Tiny details.

Really nice space and very friendly staff. Beautiful view from the hotel onto the sea. Very clean rooms and frequent room service. Very big beds which was a bonus for me since many beds in Kenya are quite small for me. The pool was always open even at night. There is a small 'hidden' staircase down to the ocean which you can access at low tide. It's not a beach access as the ground is rocky but at low tide, if you feel adventurous, you could probably walk through the shallow water to the beach. Just don't expect a sand beach in front of your hotel.

Access to the beach is challenging as you can only get round at certain times of the day.

Amazing rooms, and beautiful resort! Really helpful and friendly staff, who went above any beyond showing the best routes to the sea and organising a coconut for me! Great food, breakfast was huge and delicious, and I had dinner there which was also very nice fish!

The shower has seen better days.

The resort is quite nice and the staff is wonderful. The jacuzzi is a great asset.

My only gripe was a lack of direct access to a sandy beach, the very nearby beaches were spectacular however access via a tuunel carved into the rock leading onto a reef like shore was not ideal

I loved everything, a lovely charming pure African ambience lodge. Food was lovely the staff were faultless

300meters to the hotel is a dusty road which makes it hard to walk to the main road to get a taxi

- Full English breakfast was good but would be nice to have more vegetables. - The owner's son had friends over and they had a large speaker by the pool on 2 days. To be fair, I didn't ask at the reception if they could do something about this!

- Very good value for money considering that the cost of travel in Watamu is quite high. - Extremely clean and everyone is very friendly! - AC works great. - Would go back.

The place was awesome. I was working while I was there and it was very cozy, comfortable and the staff was so accommodating. Internet was very good, was working back in the states and had no issues. The shower was also the best shower I’ve had in Kenya. Water pressure was perfect. Netflix on the tv was also a huge plus. Couldn’t recommend more for anyone trying to relax and enjoy Watamu.
