I loved my time at Shela Bliss. The owner was so kind, always available to help, organized fun activities every day, and made amazing breakfasts with fresh juices every morning. Felt like staying with a friend! I was really impressed by how clean and well-kept the place was. The rooms, bathrooms, and common areas were all fresh and tidy-it made the stay so comfortable. Abdullah clearly takes pride in the place, and it shows! Would happily stay again.

    I liked that Lamu is a small town, easy to walk about and no pollution say for donkey dung. There are many eateries with all kinds of meals, loved the seafood restaurants near the jetty. Lamu is safe for travellers and the community is very welcoming. Easy to get around either by speed boat, dhow or slow engine boats if not in a rush. The weather is warm and windy especially in the evening. People prefer to walk about and sit around the seafront at night where there is good ocean breeze before retiring for bed. Fishing is a great recreation activity which we all enjoyed while in Lamu.

    Lamu is a small conservative town rich in culture with very friendly people. I like that most restaurants are at the beachfront and I can recommend a few with what they offer: 1. Forodhani Lamu- for local cuisine like pilau, biriyani etc. It was the most affordable. 2. Sailors Joint- for shawarma, pizza and sea food. I went here almost everyday for their shawarma, so so flavorful. 3. Bush Gardens Sea food restaurant- for seafood especially. Had the best fresh mango juice. 4. Rangarelli Cafe- in Shela has the best local food there 5. Gelamu- for gelato ice-cream, this is in Shela.

    We were looking for privacy and relaxation as well as some outings to get to know Lamu better so our location on Manda island with private boat service to anywhere was ideal Some recommendable eating places included peponi and kijani hotels in Shela, garden restaurant on Lamu sea front We also enjoyed Lamu museum and the Flip-floppy enterprise for recycling all kinds of waste plastics
