The views to the ocean from the main pool, the big balcony of the room overlooking the small pool and the garden, and the help of their travel agency to help me find a spot in a group doing the Blue Safari. The lobby is beautiful.

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.
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.
A beautiful, serene space on the creek - which is more like a very big river. Views of the mangrove forest and surrounded by peace and quiet. The restaurant served delightful food from a small menu, and great cocktails. Friendly and accommodating staff. We loved swimming in the creek and renting the stand up paddle boards. Great place to read, relax and decompress. You can take a boat over to Watamu town which we did once for an excursion, but it was so peaceful we just stayed at the hotel the rest of the time!
This resort was a hidden gem. Through Booking.com, the rates were exceptional. The resort is located directly on one of Watamus' most beautiful beaches. The staff were both friendly and very accommodating. The rooms were unusually large by resort standards. The breakfast was delicious with flexible hours. The GM was always on hand to make sure were had everything we needed. We will make this one of our top choices when returning to Kenyas' coast.
In general, the hotel is expanding and building new structures like yoga place and a very good place for a stay in Watamu —-but I’ll reconsider my choices next year because of breakfast policy. The swimming pool is lovely as always and the New Fitness in an open space is well equipped and modern and I enjoyed working out. Rooms are stocked with water and variety of tea and a pot.
Easy access to Lichthaus. Bed was comfy with many pillows.
Seawhispers 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.
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.
This is a very nice and affordable resort to stay in Watamu, for a relaxing beach holiday. We particularly enjoyed the room size and the two pool areas. The staff are also amazing and the breakfast is really good. Very nice location right on the beach just where the best place to swim is, and it's easy to find transport to nearby restaurants etc.
The staff was very friendly and willing to assist. The beach was also just steps away from the property as well as the pool and beach towels were provided. There were also some specials guests- the owners dogs! The breakfasts were also very good with fresh baked goods, fresh eggs, and freshly squeezed juice as well as eggs your way.
Everything- stunning, staff is friendly and attentive and it is never loud. This place is exactly what I needed and it is owned by a local family (this should be commonplace but coastal Kenya is very much neocolonized). They pay attention to details. It’s impossible to be here and not feel like you’re at the best joint in town.
This accommodation is truly fantastic and welcoming. the private beach is very beautiful and equipped with umbrellas with sunbeds where you can observe the islands of Watamu, the pool is very large and clean. The chef service is really great and tasty.
Beautiful coastal themed structures. Incredibly friendly, warm, helpful and competent staff from the start all the way to the end. Beautiful views of the ocean. Beautiful beach and access to it. This was the best hotel experience I have ever had.
The host and the staff were warm and welcoming they waited for us to check in very late in the night. The rooms are clean and very spacious. We made some charcoal grilled fish at home which was exciting. We have good lunch at Prawn's Lake Watamu.
The location was superb, just a minute's walk from the beach. The room exuded coziness and boasted beautiful furniture. The bathroom was decently appointed with an appealing setup. Additionally, breakfast was delicious.
The beach was very nice and sandy, very close to the home. There were a couple of small beach bars serving good food and drinks.
Does not take long to get to the town with taxi, however it is not a cheap ride.
Fantastic location on the most beautiful part of Watamu beach. Excellent facilities, two pools, beach bar, restaurant, sun loungers, in lush green gardens with monkeys in the palm trees. We loved it.
The fact that you're able to cook your own meals is absolutely the best...I didn't have to settle for hotel food... The beach is a 2minute walk . Staff is very friendly. Benjamin is the best!
Location to the beach is perfect, less than a minute walk
The interior finish of the house was awesome
The kitchen cutlery was perfect and smart
Relatable and friendly staff
It was even better than the photos, great pool and beach. By far the best shower in Africa: powerful subtle temperature changes and handheld. Safari, the manager outstanding
This is my second time at the hotel and I am happy that this time food/drinks were excellent all throughout, very attentive staff and good water sports.
