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!ChrisKenya - 10Scored 10

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 choiceAAnonymousGermany - 10Scored 10
Watamu has lovely people, tourists are so safe its unreal.
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.

Local administration and hoteliers should strive to attract more local tourists. Overdependence on foreigners leads to exaggerated prices in addition to leaving Watamu as a ghost town especially in low season.Kinini

- From US$113 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 205 reviewsWe visited during the off season so were one of the few guests staying at the property. The staff were SO nice and friendly and accommodated a late check out. The pool was amazing and super clean, the beach was also very nice. Wifi connectivity was great and stretched out to the pool. The only thing that could have been better was the AC in the room, it didn't work at times and when it did it didn't change the room temp very drastically. Overall very good experience.KristineUnited States
- 8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 30 reviewsSeawhispers Inn is located within Watamu village and just a few minute's walk from Watamu Beach. The hotel is basic, but clean and economical. There is no A/C, but a ceiling and floor fan are provided and help with the heat at night. Watamu's best restaurants and bars are within easy walking distance. If you're looking for a budget hotel in Watamu, Seawhispers Inn is probably about as good as it gets in this price range.AnarchyTravelUnited States
- From US$100 per night8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 115 reviewsAn exceptional boutique hotel with massive air conditioned rooms, huge comfortable king bed, great showers, 2 salt water pools, good food and very few people. I loved my stay here and extended for 2 additional nights to soak it all in. Perched on a sea cliff top, there's a commanding view of the beautiful bay And a secret tunnel to directly access the tide pools and sandy beaches at low tide.
deanCanada - From US$70 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 81 reviewsEverything was excellent, starting from the staff who was very attentive to everything we needed during our stay. They upgraded us to the suite, they gave us suggestions on the surroundings and prepared amazing breakfast. The hotel itself is located in a perfect spot as it is at walking distance from bars and restaurants in the heart of Watamu. And you can always get a tuk tuk to go anywhere.
FrancescaItaly - From US$72 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 129 reviewsLiked the Bungalow, felt nice and private with a "garden". Liked the mosquito nets, cozy to hear all the sounds outside in the night even if it take a night or two to get used to. It's situated by the Garoda beach which definitely is one of the most beautiful beaches in Watamu. Very quiet and relaxing place. Friendly and helpful staff.ThérèseSweden
