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!ChrisKenya - 10Scored 10

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 choiceAAnonymousGermany - 10Scored 10
Watamu has lovely people, tourists are so safe its unreal.
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.Kinini

- 9.3Scored 9.3SuperbRated superb· 76 reviewsI loved and appreciated the attention to detail and the beautiful artwork. I felt very nurtured at Zawadi House. The staff is wonderful - friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The owner is a wealth of information, not just locally, but all around Kenya and her tips are spot on. Located in a quiet beautiful neighborhood between Watamu & Baracuda beaches, it is close to restaurants and shops. There is a massage room just off the little swimming pool and I got a wonderful massage at a super reasonable price.DeannaUnited States
- From RSD 14,557.72 per night9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 161 reviewsWe generally loved EVERYTHING about The Mida Creek and had to extend by one night to enjoy fully. From the staff, room, views, food, boat rides. The waters are also very calm on this other side. We loved how intimate the place is, it's such a great hide out. We really enjoyed the boat rides to and fro the hotel, that was such an experience on its own. This is our current favorite place in Watamu and we will be back. Thank you Mariam and team for such great services.
NancyKenya - From RSD 9,316.94 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 171 reviewsThis is just an amazing little hotel just of the beaten track and the major hotels with very easy access to the beach ( walking distance ) . The staff Justin ( Owner ) and Fransis (Barmen) went out of their way to always help. Fransis even made me and my wife a plate of fries 12:00 at night after the kitchen were closed. We returned very late after we went back to Mombasa to fetch our luggage that were left behind in Addis Ababa.CobusSouth Africa
- 8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 30 reviewsSeawhispers Inn is located within Watamu village and just a few minute's walk from Watamu Beach. The hotel is basic, but clean and economical. There is no A/C, but a ceiling and floor fan are provided and help with the heat at night. Watamu's best restaurants and bars are within easy walking distance. If you're looking for a budget hotel in Watamu, Seawhispers Inn is probably about as good as it gets in this price range.AnarchyTravelUnited States
- From RSD 3,235.05 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 149 reviewsWe stayed in the tents. Loved the feeling of being in our own little forest with monkeys and birds all around. Open air shower is so refreshing. Not a far walk to the most amazing beach. Think its a brilliant idea with different kinds of accommodations available for different budgets and preferences. The Snackbar was wonderful. Stanley and his team really makes amazing food.TrudieTanzania

The swimming pool was amazing and the staff are very friendly and attentive. The view of the moon rising while we were eating dinner was one of the best things I've ever witnessed. I'd recommend this to anybody in the area, it's paradise!GervaisUnited Kingdom

AmishaUnited Kingdom - From RSD 10,783.50 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 11 reviewsIt 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.
