Charming is an apt name for this beautiful hidden away gem. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, really working hard to ensure our stay was a dream romantic romp. They even prepared a tailored vegan alternative menu that was an unexpected touch of care. We're truly grateful to Silvia and her team.

Watamu has a charm to it. Very relaxed but amazing places to discover The beach is beautiful! Catching sunsets is not a problem. so many places to catch some of the most glorious sunsets you will ever see. Within the town centre is a small eatery called The Place! Great chef & delicious meals.

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.

- From $109 per night7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 440 reviewsThe rooms were spacious and comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. I highly recommend the full back. legs and feet massage offered at the hotel- I felt fantastic afterwards. It is an Egyptian style massage - with two therapists working in tandem. Also the head therapist - who is a physiotherapist - also provided me a short but very effective neck massage that took away the pain in my shoulders and neck. Happy hour cocktails at the hotel bar with great views of the beach and ocean was wonderful.
SarahAustralia - From $104 per night9.3Scored 9.3WonderfulRated wonderful· 32 reviewsThis 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.NickUnited Kingdom
- From $167 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 217 reviewsThe hotel has a lovely rustic coastal feel which we appreciated. The kids loved the pools and spent their days there or at the beach which was conveniently located nearby. It was so good to meet so many friendly tourists and we appreciated the many bottles of water in our room, which were replenished each day. Very thoughtful during this hot season. We also enjoyed some of the spa treatments at Wasserhaus Spa.CATHERINEAustralia

The whole compound and its surroundings had a good atmosphere and sufficient intimacy for a relaxed vacation and human interaction. After a visit to the Garoda hotel, we knew the difference: at the Watamu Beach Cottages we felt at home. Thanks also for the monkeys who entertained us for free.
