Beach Hotels in Watamu

I visited this place on my first solo travel and it was AWESOME! They have a clear blue pool overlooking the beautiful blue waters of Watamu. And with them, what you see is what you get; what you see on their profiles is EXACTLY what you will see on arrival. The rooms were spacious and of importance had air conditioning and a fan too, with the heat that is there, a definite plus. Watamu is mostly populated by older Italians who stay in the hotels there permanently, and so with this the amazing and friendly stuff are more than happy to receive one of their own! Waliniambia nilipo wasili kuwa Watamu kuna utamu, na hawakudanganya ng'o! A DEFINITE on your travel to-do list!

The good bits - the hotel rooms are spacious, the aircon in the bedroom is great (but quite noisy), and the bed is comfy. The food that we ate (being selective) was really tasty, the eggs station (freshly cooked to order) provides a very tasty part of the breakfast. The average bits - if you want decent wi-fi, you won’t get it here, but hopefully that’s not a holiday breaker for most. The kitchen in the room reminds me of a 1980’s Spanish self catering hotel room, not a supposed luxury hotel. I have no idea why I would need every kitchen gadget known to mankind - it really cheapens the feel of the hotel. The bad bits - the breakfast situation is dire. We stayed on a B&B basis, breakfast is served in the main hotel in a room that is cramped and doesn’t have a relaxing feel to it. There are flies everywhere, and in particular on the cooked meats and cheeses which are left uncovered. Breads and fruits are covered but most often you remove a cover to release the flies from under the cover. The uncovered meats and cheeses I complained about many times, and was even promised that it would be resolved by the next day. No surprises that it wasn’t, they didn’t even think to cover them with cling film. So now we have just avoided them altogether which is a shame as they look delicious. The food situation with the flies isn’t great, but even the environment is poor - there are very nice eating areas within the hotel (2 by the beach and one by the pool) all used for lunch or evening meals. For some reason these are not available to use at breakfast. There are no flies down by the beach! If a relaxing leisurely breakfast is your thing, pick a different hotel. If it’s just a quick breakfast to set you up for the day that you’re after, you should be fine.
