Hemingways Watamu

"Excellent hotel, great staff, very comfortable and spacious room, highly recommend"

Turtle Bay Beach Club

10/10 Excellent

"Très bon accueil par Janet et le reste du personnel. Excellent service tout au long du séjour. La nourriture était variée et de qualité. Merci pour tout, Turtle Bay Resort!"

AHG Lion Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The food was amazing. The place and the weather, also. All the staff was very friendly and helpful. My suggestion is that there should be a portable or fixed clothesline for hanging wet clothes after the beach or pool."

Mvuvi Lodge Watamu

10/10 Excellent

"the property is very clean and all the staff are extremely friendly. They made me feel very relaxed and safe. Most days I had the sole use of the pool! Perhaps the chef could do with a few pointers and it would have been great to have a small fridge in my room which was lovely and clean. was well cared for and really enjoyed my stay....5 gold stars!"

Kasa Tatu Villas, Watamu

10/10 Excellent

"This extraordinary property is a five star experience you should not miss. You are off the main road and close to a pristine beach. The villa has superb amenities and a warm and welcoming host. You have complete privacy if you want it, but we chose the option of a personal chef for the week and it was a wise decision. She was a talented cook who accommodated all our requests with great skill. The property is new and extremely modern, with comfort and convenience emphasized. We cannot wait to return!"

Blue Bay Village

10/10 Excellent

"Staff are amazing. Very thoughtful and helpful. Wonderful food"
