7.4/10 Good! (35 reviews)
Check in went poorly as there was some confusion regarding a change in meal options.

Soggiorno africano

Great owners and Rachel the cook was very nice abd helpful. As a retired chef, I can say this was a cool experience to relax and not cook while enjoying my stay here. Thanks to the owners! The receptionist could be a little bit sour acting, but the rest of the staff was WONDERFUL!

In low season there are way too many touts about for the amount of travellers and it gets really tiring having to constantly deal with them. In high season I am sure it isn't such a problem

Watamu is a town with numerous beautiful, ambient and cost friendly beach hotels and resorts not to mention the awesome Watamu Marine National park. The locals are friendly and hospitable. I'd recommend Watamu any day.
