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. 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.
A beautiful, serene space on the creek - which is more like a very big river. Views of the mangrove forest and surrounded by peace and quiet. The restaurant served delightful food from a small menu, and great cocktails. Friendly and accommodating staff. We loved swimming in the creek and renting the stand up paddle boards. Great place to read, relax and decompress. You can take a boat over to Watamu town which we did once for an excursion, but it was so peaceful we just stayed at the hotel the rest of the time!
In general, the hotel is expanding and building new structures like yoga place and a very good place for a stay in Watamu —-but I’ll reconsider my choices next year because of breakfast policy. The swimming pool is lovely as always and the New Fitness in an open space is well equipped and modern and I enjoyed working out. Rooms are stocked with water and variety of tea and a pot.
Easy access to Lichthaus. Bed was comfy with many pillows.
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.
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.
The staff was very friendly and willing to assist. The beach was also just steps away from the property as well as the pool and beach towels were provided. There were also some specials guests- the owners dogs! The breakfasts were also very good with fresh baked goods, fresh eggs, and freshly squeezed juice as well as eggs your way.
Everything was perfect - one of the best hotel we have been in our life. The atmosphere is very special. The design of the hotel is better than a 5 stars hotel. The owners and staff take care of every details. We appreciate also a lot the bedroom and swimming pool with sea view. Amazing food there as well.
Amazing place,the best we have stayed at in Africa. Felt like we were in a 5* hotel..spotless, comfortable,quiet. We extended our stay by an extra night we liked it so much..Maggie looked after us impeccably, warm and a perfect host,ready to help whenever we needed her. Highly recommended recommended.
I personally liked best the homely atmosphere in the compound, great hospitality and obvious love for nature and environment. No unnecessary luxuary, but everything provided that one needs for a relaxing get away in a quiet place such as a marine protected area.
Omg this was the amazing place I have ever got to stay, I was traveling solo and the team was amazing try to engage conversation with me! I loved that! The rooms are clean, food is the best. And they helped me organize activities. STUNNING RESORT ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The environment was very beautiful. Shops were within easy reach. The beach was always fun. I enjoyed the Massai performance on Friday night and the Beach party on Saturday night. The Locals spoke Italiano. I was quite impressed! I would love to be back
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.
The host and the staff were warm and welcoming they waited for us to check in very late in the night. The rooms are clean and very spacious. We made some charcoal grilled fish at home which was exciting. We have good lunch at Prawn's Lake Watamu.
Clean, quiet place. Customer service was 5 star. Bed was extremely comfortable. Keep track of what you are spending on dinner and drinks.They tried to charge us more than they should have. Good thing we wrote it all down.
The fact that you're able to cook your own meals is absolutely the best...I didn't have to settle for hotel food... The beach is a 2minute walk . Staff is very friendly. Benjamin is the best!
Hands down one of the best hotels to stay in Watamu. It is near to the beach. All facilities are available. I would definitely like to stay there again. The restaurant is also great.
Excellent staff, hotel slightly neglected. I think watamu had more tourists in the past. Toilet didn't look great, but then excellent value for money I'd say. Very cheap. Big room
