United StatesBreakfast was spot on. Location was pretty decent. A little far removed from restaurants/shopping and such, but that is kinda what I wanted so was very good for my needs. I answered no regarding the question above "Did the price I paid match the expectations I had when I booked". I answered no because the facility far exceeded my expectation. I felt it was a very good value.

Some really good beaches... very full day trips on boats...
Some really good beaches... very full day trips on boats... lots of stalls to purchase things... good supermarkets on the main road if you are staying in a villa... due to the heavy Italian tourist presence, there are plenty of great eateries and restaurants... easy to get around on motorbike or tuk tuk... generally very safe compared to Nairobi.

Watamu is one of my favorite places to visit in North Coast.
Watamu is one of my favorite places to visit in North Coast. It is not overpowering like other towns in North Coast. The people are very friendly and hospitable.
I particularly enjoyed the sunset views at Litchaus and Crab Shack. The cultural tour to Waka Waka Island and seeing dolphins.
However, it can be pricier than other places. I recommend going with an open mind and a spirit of fun. To get the most from Watamu, do not rush. I recommend spacing out your travel and allowing yourself to soak it all in. There's definitely so much to see and learn from the local community.

The people are quite friendly including cab divers.
The people are quite friendly including cab divers. The beaches are wonderful. Not too much interference from the beach boys. The area is relatively quiet in the evenings. Good for a person who has relaxation in mind. My favourite beach was Gecko resort. It is easy to get around Watamu with Tuk Tuk or cabs.

A bit expensive as it's made for tourists, so expect European prices (5EUR one beer or 8EUR a cocktail).
The beach is amazing, it's totally worth it :) However, try to be in a beach chair, as those are in private restaurants or hotels; that's the only way the beach boys are not going to annoy you all the time (and even there, they might try to talk to you or stare at you, but it's less likely).
There's a club (Come back club) that we loved, as the atmosphere and music were great :)

Watamu, Kenya, is a stunning coastal destination that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and vibrant local culture. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed by incredibly friendly people who make you feel right at home. The sandy beaches are breathtaking, providing endless opportunities for relaxation, sunbathing, and leisurely beach walks. The warm climate is perfect for enjoying the sun and indulging in outdoor activities like snorkeling, which reveals a mesmerizing underwater world. Watamu is also a haven for food lovers, with fresh seafood and delicious local dishes being a highlight. Whether you’re traveling with family, seeking a romantic escape, or just craving a relaxing getaway, Watamu offers something for everyone, from serene sunsets to memorable shore experiences.
On the downside, the area can be quite loud and a little chaotic at times, especially in busier spots. However, this minor inconvenience is easily overshadowed by the overall charm and tranquility of this coastal paradise. Watamu is a destination that truly captures the heart and offers unforgettable memories. Highly recommended! 🌴☀️

Very large property, great location (under 10 mins walk to the beach) and fantastic staff… Amami and Prince made us feel very welcome… the property has a great terrace to enjoy the nice and cool evenings and we really enjoyed our stay… the only downside is that Watamu experiences quite regular power cuts so there is the possibility of being without power sometimes as regularly as once a day for a couple of hours… apart from that, the overall stay was enjoyable!

I love the location - perfect spot for beach holiday and not too fair-away from Watamu - yes the road is not perfect but for me it was part of my Kenya experience :-)
They are a few very good restaurant on the beach and Safari was always very helpful , he even took as to a local church which was amazing experience !
I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to relax and learn a bit about the locals , the location is very safe .

I loved how private the property was, it felt really secluded and intimate. The staff were really attentive and friendly, and made incredible food and drink! Food and drinks were 10/10!! I loved the room (Beach Banda), it had a beautiful view from the balcony, the bed was very comfortable, the room was spacious, and the shower pressure and temperature was fantastic. Also, the free boat ride over to Watamu town was a great bonus!
