Waridi House, hotel in Watamu

Located within less than 1 km of Mapango Beach and a 10-minute walk of Watamu Bay Beach, Waridi House provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Watamu.

Best stay ever! We usually hesitate booking an accommodation that doesn’t have a lot of reviews and damn would we have missed out! This was the best accommodation we have ever been to! Stunning house and the loveliest service personnel. Everything was absolutely perfect. The only thing we regret is not staying longer. 12/10 would 100% book it again.

Watamu Beach Cottages, hotel in Watamu

Watamu Beach Cottages is set in Watamu and has a pool with a view and pool views. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, table tennis, free private parking and free WiFi.

Those beach cottages were awesome. We got probably the best cottage from entire area (one of the few with an ocean view). All the staff were very helpful and running this place like a small oasis of relaxation just next to the ocean. Probably the best place on enitre Garoda beach, just next to the big sandbank (appearing only sometimes during low tide).

Diwani Cottage, hotel in Watamu

Featuring a terrace with pool views, a private beach area and an outdoor swimming pool, Diwani Cottage can be found in Malindi, close to Tropical Beach and 1.7 km from Malindi Beach.

I love this place despite the obvious frustrations from time to time. It's peaceful and a series of apartments either on the ground floor with a terrace or first floor with balcony. The apartments are spacious with a galley kitchen and shower room. The apartments are clean and well equipped. The pool is saltwater and natural and the views to the beach lovely. Fondo the manager is very helpful and all the cleaners super friendly. Eventually they sorted everything out and hence the score of 8 not 6/7!

Villa Fortuna Malindi, hotel in Watamu

Set in Malindi, within 300 metres of Tropical Beach and 37 km of Watamu National Marine Park, Villa Fortuna Malindi offers accommodation with pool with a view and free WiFi as well as free private...

Villa Fortuna was amazing. The calm environment, trees, the breeze, the pool which was always clean and since there were few visitors around we were allowed to swim at night which we did everyday during our stay. The staff were really nice, from the gateman to the housekeeper. Breakfast was top notch. We were always looking forward to mornings because of their breakfast 🤭😂. The rooms are spacious, always cleaned in the morning, bedsheets and towels changed too. Damaris.. I want to say thank you for having us and welcoming us to your home. Blessings on blessings to you and your family .

    Great host family! Everything is very authentic and lets you experience the real experience. We were very well taken care of and it’s a great project! The food was amazing and the Mida creek tour is very recommendable.

    The location is great, there are some great beaches and restaurants at walking distance. The facilities are secure, quiet and very new. Everything is clean and tidy including the pool outside. We were served a delicious breakfast every morning. Margherita is an amazing host, she gave us many recommendations including for beaches, restaurants and transportation. Highly recommended.
