The service was amazing! Great ambiance! The rooms and restaurant are night next and looking out to the beach. The restaurant service team is great! By day 2 at breakfast they already could predict/remember how you'd like your eggs, and at the bar our favourite drinks and just how we like them! Special mention to Archie, Redempta, Patrick and Nelson. The team is super friendly, unafraid to banter with the guests! All in all, was a great experience, I highly re commend the Hemmingways Watamu.

Nice small boutique hotel, has 2 pools, one dining for food. Kazungu the bar man was very nice. Rooms were clean. Not much to do around the hotel. Food and beverage manager was also very nice. We had to buy water when having dinner but that was corrected.

The resort and staff are all top notch...........we felt the extra special treatment from the pickup at the airport until we returned. Check in experience was welcoming and comfortable. Lodgings are very well done. Service across the board is second to none. Bravo Hemings for your 5 Star treatment.

This was my best holiday destination and the services too were amazing. All staff and the management were very helpful and navigating through the facility was made easy. I would recommend Hemingways Watamu to all visitors considering the Coast region as a destination hub.

I really loved services from Zipporah and Redempta. The room was amazing I was very much impressed by how the staff provides guest services, they were always quick to attend to me. Not forgetting the meals and the quiet pool experience. The rooms are very specious and well furnished

The hotel brings good vibes.. excellent views and professional staff. The rooms are spacious and very clean with high quality bedding. The food is really good, there were not many options on the buffet to choose from but the few options they had were really good.
