The views to the ocean from the main pool, the big balcony of the room overlooking the small pool and the garden, and the help of their travel agency to help me find a spot in a group doing the Blue Safari. The lobby is beautiful.

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...
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.
This is honestly one of the best places I've ever stayed, I didn't want to leave!
So relaxed and quiet with wonderful staff (especially Seline). Your stress levels just disappear as soon as you arrive! Swimming pool was a great way to cool off after being out for the day. The room was big and comfortable, no mosquitoes. Food was delicious!
It is a mile or two from the beach but you can get there in a tuk tuk easily. The beaches and snorkeling are stunning and Gedi ruins are also well worth a visit.
The staff was super friendly, especially the manager. He even came on his day off to show us around. The room was quite spacious with a large balcony and nice sofas outside.
Also, the location is great! Even though the way to the beach is littered and rather stinky, once you get to the beach (and it's literally 2 minutes of walk), it's really nice. And there are some really good restaurants on the beach! We felt safe in the neighborhood, even when getting back to the hotel after sunset.
Little piece of paradise run by a terrific soul. Laurence is such a cool and funny woman, and the house is just wonderful. We loved our time there and wish we could have stayed longer. The breakfast is delicious, fresh, made with so much attention and love. Cool cats and turtle wandering around, comfy bed, close to snake farm... everything was lovely! Watamu town and beach can be easily reach by tuktuk or boda boda, and snake farm by foot if you want. Thanks for everything Laurence 🙏
They have all services you could need, and the resort section of loungers on the beach means you are not haggled by "beach boys".
The staff are wonderful, and you will always have service.
Lovely, clean pools.
The beach is beautiful, the ocean warm, amazing location (aside from being a bit far and "separate" from Watamu)
Excellent breakfast buffet. Amazing cocktails.
Air-con in our room helped alot!
The resort and watamu are so safe, and an incredible tropical experience.
We visited during the off season so were one of the few guests staying at the property. The staff were SO nice and friendly and accommodated a late check out. The pool was amazing and super clean, the beach was also very nice. Wifi connectivity was great and stretched out to the pool. The only thing that could have been better was the AC in the room, it didn't work at times and when it did it didn't change the room temp very drastically. Overall very good experience.
We 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.
Seawhispers 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.
The place was awesome. I was working while I was there and it was very cozy, comfortable and the staff was so accommodating.
Internet was very good, was working back in the states and had no issues.
The shower was also the best shower I’ve had in Kenya. Water pressure was perfect.
Netflix on the tv was also a huge plus. Couldn’t recommend more for anyone trying to relax and enjoy Watamu.
Everything was excellent, starting from the staff who was very attentive to everything we needed during our stay. They upgraded us to the suite, they gave us suggestions on the surroundings and prepared amazing breakfast. The hotel itself is located in a perfect spot as it is at walking distance from bars and restaurants in the heart of Watamu. And you can always get a tuk tuk to go anywhere.
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 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.
Amazing boutique hotel. Very clean rooms. Great staff. They are super friendly and helpful. Fantastic location next to the beach. The beach is beautiful and the sand is white and smooth. Can’t find a better beach.
EVERYTHING 😻 the pictures don't do it just. This place is beautiful and soooo peace. They staff is sweet and Jane is the best she has been so sweet and kind we are definitely coming back.
It was even better than the photos, great pool and beach. By far the best shower in Africa: powerful subtle temperature changes and handheld. Safari, the manager outstanding
Everything was amazing at Visiwa. A sweet, intimate space with the beach right in front of the property. The restaurant serves delicious food and the staff all superb.
The host Zaitun was very friendly and helpful,the unit is exactly as advertised and in a very secure location,walking distance to the beach. Highly recommend
