Breakfast was spot on. Location was pretty decent. A little far removed from restaurants/shopping and such, but that is kinda what I wanted so was very good for my needs. I answered no regarding the question above "Did the price I paid match the expectations I had when I booked". I answered no because the facility far exceeded my expectation. I felt it was a very good value.

Interesting town, much to see, like the TAAF Snake Farm, where I was for a course, the Gede ruins and much more. Good infrastructure, which is not in all coastal towns in Kenya the case. The beach in front of Papa Remo is alone worth going there!

Watamu is beautiful , but unfortunately too touristical for me. Heavily overpriced for Kenya. People who like bust tourist spots will like it though... traditionally many Italians, if you want to avoid those, Watamu is also not your choice

Watamu has lovely people, tourists are so safe its unreal. Large Italian population and visitors, so most hotels and resteuraunts are italian owned. Best place to eat and the most jawdropping view is from Ocean Sports.

Watamu as such is lovely with a few good public beaches.
Watamu as such is lovely with a few good public beaches. Restaurants are galore and most really good, although mostly expensive. Among the coastal towns I visited in Kenya and Tanzania, I have come back to Watamu most often. The water is crystal clear, the beach white and not overrun, and the area offers enough activities to not get boring.

Local administration and hoteliers should strive to attract more local tourists. Overdependence on foreigners leads to exaggerated prices in addition to leaving Watamu as a ghost town especially in low season.
We loved staying at Mangrove View, by far the friendliest and most welcoming place since we've been in Kenya for over 8 weeks. The breakfast is delicious and the chef can also provide dinner for a very reasonable price, which is super delicious and highly reccomended. The owner Reimond is very friendly and has lots of local tips and can help you organize tours, transport and more. The communcal area is very social and it's easy to meet fellow travellers here :) Highly reccomend this place to anyone staying in Watamu!
The staff is friendly, I really appreciate Sarah for ensuring I had a good time, the chef too is friendly and will advise you on the meal to take, he prepares a good meal. The manager can do a better job at communicating with his guests and even inquiring whether they are comfortable. If you need a massage just ask for Cherry she offers the best massages at a very affordable price, she is very friendly and kind. The massage was the highlight of my trip.
I was fortunate to get a room with a sea view. While the rooms generally do face the sea, some are partially blocked by the palm trees. I enjoyed the beach. The hotel has arguably the best beach in Watamu. The biggest plus is access to the Islands between 6.30am to around noon during the low tide. All in all, its a great place. Oh, the hottest joint in town is next door, Papa remo.
The owner Josephine and the stuff are so friendly and welcoming.The place is amazing with a nice swimming Pool feels like Paradise with palm trees and beautiful plants. It is near the beach and close to main watamu center where you can find all the necessities you need. Clean and nice apartment with African aestheic. Would definately recommend.
It is a short walk to the nearest beach, where there are plenty of small restaurants and bars. The area is quite safe as there are two hotels in the local vicinity. Very peaceful in the evenings, even with the close vicinity of the hotels. Mohamed, our contact, was extremely helpful and managed to resolve the dew small issues that we had.
Liked the Bungalow, felt nice and private with a "garden". Liked the mosquito nets, cozy to hear all the sounds outside in the night even if it take a night or two to get used to. It's situated by the Garoda beach which definitely is one of the most beautiful beaches in Watamu. Very quiet and relaxing place. Friendly and helpful staff.
Pole Pole House is a lovely place to stay, the staff are always friendly and helpful, the property is small, peaceful and intimate..1 minute walk to the best beach in the area..the only down side is the remote location from Watamu, where the days are hot and placid and the nights are alive with restaurants, bars and clubs a plenty..
Nice, clean and quiet place where the staff like always in Kenya makes everything possible to make you feel happy. This is very special in this country and they are for half part everywhere of my satisfaction...
Smile and kindness bring a special energy . And then the magical of watamu makes your stay unique.
The beach is great, the ocean was clean. The hotel allows you privacy and has an amazing calm atmosphere considering that its big. There are places around that you can explore/walk in to such as bars, restaurants or walk at the beach. The pool is great, as well as drinks.
Breakfast could have been improved upon. Omelettes were made fresh, but otherwise options were limited in the buffet. Slices of cheese and deli meat.
Pool was stunning with view of the ocean. Beach was beautiful. Great relaxing area of Watamu.
Super nice gem in the middle of Watamu, 5 mins away from the beach with car/bike, central to everything . The property was superb, clean, maintained, friendly staffs & biggest beauty was the little pup called Gucci, super sweet doggie .
Cheap hotel average accommodation but great value for money in a most scenic beach resort. A very popular hotel with many visitors and great atmosphere seems to be well populated by families We definitely would recommend this place.
Location to the beach is perfect, less than a minute walk
The interior finish of the house was awesome
The kitchen cutlery was perfect and smart
Relatable and friendly staff
Staff is very nice, welcoming and professional. They made me feel at home and very well taken care of. I loved everything about this hotel. Breakfast is super!
This is my second time at the hotel and I am happy that this time food/drinks were excellent all throughout, very attentive staff and good water sports.
