A beautiful resort, with many amenities with a lot of details paid to the decor. Unfortunately, not the same attention was given to the 3 restaurants. Poor quality food with a limited selection except for a very nice breakfast buffet. Had confirmed a twin bedded room, but did not receive one. The beds are extremely firm as the mattress sits on a cement platform but does have a nicely hung mosquito net. Easy access across the water to Lamu.

- The ocean activities are marvelous! Amazing experience, memories I will always treasure. Food was also nice, a lot of seafood. Very culturally rich too! - The town is dirty, because of monkeys, people in Lamu seem to have gotten used to it, but for an outsider its not. In addition, they don't treat the donkeys right, so it's sad to see them suffering. Lamu is a small town, I wish they would think of other means of transport and at least for people just walking, donkeys should be forbidden. There was also a lot of trash on the street, even in monuments.

Lamu is quite a unique place which is different from the main land of Kenya. You can enjoy the historical environment, beautiful beaches, sun rise and sun set, relaxing on the boat/dhow. And Lamu people are very kind to visitors, I love it. Some activities in the sea may be affected by the tide. So, it's better to ask people in advance when you can do the activity you want to do.

The town is quirky and locals are great. No cars or motorbikes in the center but lot of donkeys. Lamu is really worth to visit! Only thing, its quite dirty, especially the seafront. Plastic every where

It was my first time in Lamu and I sure will come back it's a place full of adventure and beautiful to relax. The people are very calm and friendly, their food is mouth watering. All history lovers should definitely visit this place, I promise they will won't be disappointed. It is very easy to get around. We visited lamu Fort, Takwa ruins, lamu museum and Ra's kitau. This place is naturally beautiful.

It's wonderful to visit a town where o cars are allowed and motorcycles are restricted to the peripheries of the old historical quarters. I definitely recommend a stay in the old town of lamu to have a lived experience of the swahili culture and definitely spend a few days at the luxurious Shella village close to the magnificent beaches. Enjoy a wonderful Swahili breakfast with an array of tasty treats at the Mangrove restaurant right by the Jetty. Pay a visit to the Old Lamu fort that offers wonderful views of the ocean and feed your vanity by taking amazing photos at the tower. A visit to lamu is not complete without a guided tour through the UNESCO heritage sight including a visit to the Swahili house museum. Lots of wonderful antiques and knickknacks to be found in quint shops along the narrow alleyways. for those looking for a little night life, the Floating Bar offers quite the unique experience... you can literally feel the floor move as you dance to the beat. A sunset cruise is also well worth the experience as you experience the soft evening breeze sailing with the winds. Shella has a quite variety of lovely restaurants by the sea front and if your'e lucky enough you might come across some locals who will sell fresh homemade fish and seafood as you take your walks along the beach and in the narrow streets. If you love historical architecture, Lamu is the place for you. Looking forward to visit Pate Island, the manda ruins and as well as a fishing expedition.
