Palm Garden Boutique Hotel, hotel in Watamu

Set in Watamu, 1.1 km from Garoda Beach, Palm Garden Boutique Hotel offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

The property is a hidden gem. It’s beautiful to look and a very much boutique style hotel. Whilst we took our grown children with us, it’s not really a hotel for small kids. The rooms are tastefully decorated and the restaurant is superb. All staff are very attentive and cannot do enough for you. Food was delicious too. It’s also only a 3/4 minute ride from the beach. You pay £2 for a quick Tuktuk ride, and you will be met by the most beautiful beach. It’s a stunning clean beach full of tourists and locals. You will not be disappointed. We loved our stay. Also, there are plenty of wonderful restaurants and bars and pubs close by. You will. It go hungry!

    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!

    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 choice

    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.

    The location is great for access to most places in Watamu and we walked to the beach. There are restaurants in Watamu village that you can walk to at any hour. We were on the same road with the rest of the family so it was super convenient to drive down to them in minutes. Safe parking. Secure compound. The host and caretaker were available when needed and were friendly ladies.

    We were given a wonderful room with an amazing view. The location was perfect, isolated enough to get to not feel the crowd of Watamu and close enough to the city by boat. We also appreciate the fact that local communities are benefiting from the place thanks to a smart ecosystem built around the hotel. Cocktails aren't all great but some are. Staff was very nice and welcoming.

    friendly and helpful staff, in particular Lizzy and Benjamin. 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.
