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

- 8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 218 reviewsThis is probably one of the best hotels I have stayed in in my life. - the location is perfect, on the sand beach of Watamu, far enough from the core city so very calm - the staff is extremely competent and agile. For example, they organized an emergency PCR test taken on site in less than one hour. - the best dinner I had in Africa. The pan fried salmon was worthy of a Michelin restaurant - the hotel itself, its pools, restaurant, rooms and decoration are done in the finest way. It’s tasteful under every aspect.
AntoineFrance - From £63.42 per night8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 85 reviewsThe location was super: wery close to ocean, a little bit far from Watamu so it was quiet and private. The beautiful Garoda beach was 2km walking distance. There were kind and friendly community. They help me with everything I needed. It was supernice to have tasty meals together with them. You can see a Milkyway in the sky and monkeys in the morning playing on the roof. This is haven for naturelovers.TiinaEstonia
- From £80.04 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 - 9.3Scored 9.3SuperbRated superb· 7 reviewsThe location is very good. It's close to the main Watamu shopping center and a few meters from the all-weather road. It is close to essential services - Gas station, Pharmacy, eateries, and a shopping mall. One can walk to the Beach too! The lady taking care of the facility - Anna- is such a kind soul. She consulted on our breakfast needs and checked constantly if we were fine.NguoKenya

Erik the regular Boda driver also was incredible and always available to pick and drop me off to places. Great location - walking distance to Papa Remos and the beach. Easy to get a boda to main Watamu village. I liked the room size and also liked that I had a kitchen to cook.
