    This was a treat stay and exceeded my expectation.

    This was a treat stay and exceeded my expectation. Huge beds, air con and ceiling fans, enormous bathroom and a view of the ocean from the room. Staff always keen to ask how they can help. Breakfast had such a wide selection of food and unhurried time to enjoy it whilst looking out to the ocean. I highly recommend Hemmingways.

    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.

    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.

    Amazing hotel, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. Just beautiful, like in the pictures. Decorated with an eye for detail and aesthetic. Dinner exceeded our expectations, was extraordinary. Also the setting of the dinner was super nice and romantic, we really enjoyed just staying in the hotel and having dinner there. Manny, the owner of the hotel, also puts effort into having a chat with his guests, which we really appreciated and just made the whole experience more personal. Location was ideal for us as kitesurfers, not far from Geroda beach.

    The staff were great, the ammenities were awsme. The chef is top notch. The rooms are large, the hotel is right next to the beach. The staff are really helpfull. Go with an open mind and you will really enjoy the place. Great place for cooling your mind and for couples who want alone time. Go for the excursion at sardenya 2 its worth it, the staff were helpful in getting us someone to take us. Ask the staff before engaging the beach boys. Hope you enjoy your stay.

    Very good apartment. The pool is very clean. The location is good, 5 minutes away from the best pizza place in Watamu. The beach is also 5 minutes away if you don't mind climbing corrals. The host was very nice and supportive.

    Hotel was lovely with delicious food and a really nice area to lie out in the sun. The owners could not have been more helpful. Would highly recommend Visiwa Beach Resort.
