Great atmosphere, friendly staff and a superb position - a real institution!
Pros:

Excellent location, have stayed before in February 2024. Lovely new pool which is a great addition.

Cons:

Not the property’s fault but the pristine sandy beach we remembered with fondness was inches deep in seaweed! After chatting to the waiters we understand it is a seasonal phenomenon and luckily it didn’t spoil our stay.

Pros:

The location is beautiful, right on the beach with a restaurant overlooking the ocean. The resort has a lovely tropical atmosphere with lots of plants and greenery. The pool is great, the rooms are comfortable, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Cons:

The rooms could use a little refresh in some areas. We also had some confusion regarding an item we accidentally left behind. We were initially told that it could be sent to Nairobi, but later informed that it was no longer possible, without any alternative solution being offered. This was disappointing, especially as the rest of the service had been very good.

Paradise tucked in watamu
Pros:

Cozy atmosphere and nice ambience. The costs were also quite reasonable. The staff are amazing and always happy to help. The rooms are spotless well thought out and nicely spaced. Loved the privacy their layout offers.

Cons:

The breakfast had limited choices, could get boring if you're a long stay customer.

Excellent, aside from the Saturday night!
Pros:

Best place in Watamu, by a country mile. Relaxing, great ambience and always a cheerful crowd. Food and rooming was excellent. Stand out place.

Cons:

No wifi in the rooms. Planning a quiz night on Champions League final night surely was an oversight...Seems very odd with two massive screens showing the game on mute. No alternative venues to watch the game at this time of year. No seats at all. most of the night!

Not bad but could be better
Pros:

Proximity to beach and the view

Cons:

Rooms are not bug proof at all. Anything and everything can and will crawl in.
Restaurant needs to have better pest control. I understand it’s a forest there but where people eat and sleep are red lines. Management should focus on making these two areas as bug free as possible.

Local vibe, clean and nice
Pros:

Great location
Very green and cozy premises
Excellent local vibe
Nice pool
Clean rooms

Cons:

Breakfast is a bit on the poor side
Evenings in the restaurant is too much sports (tv, ambiance) but that’s personal perception so for others it may do the trick
