On 656 feet of sandy beach and direct in the Watamu National Marine Park, Turtle Bay is one of Kenya’s most extensive all inclusive hotels. The food & staff were amazing.

Highly recommend for an affordable holiday.

Palm Garden Boutique Hotel

Hotel in Watamu

Located in Watamu, a 12-minute walk from Garoda Beach, Palm Garden Boutique Hotel has accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. We had a wonderful 10 days. The staff was fantastic. Linda, Amos, and Fatma were really helpful at all times. We also got the greatest sea food spaghetti ever, compliments to the chef. Every day, the room was cleaned, and the staff ensured that the resort's facilities were always immaculate. As a result, the entire menu is wonderful; we particularly like the way the steak was delivered, and the cooking time was ideal (as said, the chef is the best). Even though the resort is 3 minutes by tuk tuk from the beach, this was not an issue for us. We could easily walk there, but we prefer to use the tuk tuk every time. The closest beach is the greatest in Watamu, and it is very clean and peaceful. If you want to rest, no one will disturb you. The owner, Manni was always around and ready for a chat. Throughout dinner, he is constantly there to ensure that everything is in order and that clients are satisfied with the food/service. I tried their one-hour massage service, and I must say it was wonderful. If we return to Kenya, we will undoubtedly stay at this resort.

Lonno Lodge features a salt-water pool lined with thatched sun umbrellas and a private beach area. Everything was perfect - one of the best hotel we have been in our life. The atmosphere is very special. The design of the hotel is better than a 5 stars hotel. The owners and staff take care of every details. We appreciate also a lot the bedroom and swimming pool with sea view. Amazing food there as well.
