Germany5 reviewsSuperbThe prices for the food were extremely high. It was an attempt to make the food fancy (did not work so well), but the quality was not in proportion to the price.
Nice room. Really cozy. And wonderful staff. Thank you.

Seawhispers couldn't be more perfect. This was my second time staying, and if anything, it was even better than the first. There's a beautiful restaurant/cafe at the front which I used as a work away space - wifi worked excellent; delicious juice, coffee and food. Staff are wonderful from the receptionist to servers to cleaners and security - all friendly and incredibly helpful. We had a beautiful big room (decorated with anniversary flowers on the bed upon our arrival - such a sweet gesture). Location is next to the beach with restaurants and shops within a stones throw. Hot water, comfortable beds, above and beyond service. Highly recommend Seawhispers and would stay again in a heartbeat. Watamu is a beautiful, special place. Thank you to the team for our 10/10 stay.

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.

Beautifully furnished, friendly staff, good atmosphere and location.

The property is beautiful and located in the lively main street. There is a restaurant with delicious food and great breakfast.The staff is very nice and helpful and the place is very clean. Its super close to other restaurants, town center and the beach. It has good mattresses, a nice warm shower and outdoor seating. The rooms are light and spacious. I really would stay there again next time and would definitely recommend the place.

Quiet, clean, comfortable, decent WiFi, good breakfast, and wonderful staff. Quick walk to the beaches and nice shops for arts/crafts just outside the door.

I liked the location. It was quiet, the place looked exactly as advertised and it was very close to the beach. The rooms were clean and we were allowed to use the pool in their sister property.
