The people are quite friendly including cab divers.
The people are quite friendly including cab divers. The beaches are wonderful. Not too much interference from the beach boys. The area is relatively quiet in the evenings. Good for a person who has relaxation in mind. My favourite beach was Gecko resort. It is easy to get around Watamu with Tuk Tuk or cabs.Guest review bykaguru - Review score

A bit expensive as it's made for tourists, so expect European prices (5EUR one beer or 8EUR a cocktail). The beach is amazing, it's totally worth it :) However, try to be in a beach chair, as those are in private restaurants or hotels; that's the only way the beach boys are not going to annoy you all the time (and even there, they might try to talk to you or stare at you, but it's less likely). There's a club (Come back club) that we loved, as the atmosphere and music were great :)Guest review byDanielaChile - Review score

Watamu, Kenya, is a stunning coastal destination that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and vibrant local culture. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed by incredibly friendly people who make you feel right at home. The sandy beaches are breathtaking, providing endless opportunities for relaxation, sunbathing, and leisurely beach walks. The warm climate is perfect for enjoying the sun and indulging in outdoor activities like snorkeling, which reveals a mesmerizing underwater world. Watamu is also a haven for food lovers, with fresh seafood and delicious local dishes being a highlight. Whether you’re traveling with family, seeking a romantic escape, or just craving a relaxing getaway, Watamu offers something for everyone, from serene sunsets to memorable shore experiences. On the downside, the area can be quite loud and a little chaotic at times, especially in busier spots. However, this minor inconvenience is easily overshadowed by the overall charm and tranquility of this coastal paradise. Watamu is a destination that truly captures the heart and offers unforgettable memories. Highly recommended! 🌴☀️Guest review byJoannaPoland - Review score
Generally Watamu is a delightful place for a holiday.
Generally Watamu is a delightful place for a holiday. It was great to have a hot weather Christmas holiday. Mostly we ate at home because we had hired a private chef, but when we did eat out we found the local restaurant excellent. The pizzas at Mapango were some of the best I have ever had.Guest review byRobertUnited Kingdom - Review score
This was a treat stay and exceeded my expectation.
This was a treat stay and exceeded my expectation. Huge beds, air con and ceiling fans, enormous bathroom and a view of the ocean from the room. Staff always keen to ask how they can help. Breakfast had such a wide selection of food and unhurried time to enjoy it whilst looking out to the ocean. I highly recommend Hemmingways.Guest review bySarahUnited Kingdom - Review score

- From € 73.98 per nightReview scoreSuperb · 84 reviewsHow close can you get to Paradise? Pretty close! At least when you stay at A Rocha Watamu. Surrounded by untouched nature, birds singing, colourful lizzards peacefully walking by. Good traditional kenyan food and the possibilit to get in touch with the researchers and volunteers monitoring birds and reefs. Unforgettable sunrises at this dream of beach. An atmosphere as peace- and respectful towards the environment. Nice conversations with other guests or employees. This is indeed a happy place for all those who favor natures luxuries.Guest review byTomGermany
- From € 92.05 per nightReview scoreFabulous · 121 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.Guest review bydeanCanada
- From € 72.95 per nightReview scoreFabulous · 9 reviewsZuri Homes is a very big apartment which is centrally located in Watamu. In walking distance there is a small supermarket and several restaurants. The beach is also close by. The host(s) were very helpful and reachable when some of the services did not work properly. They communicated througout and came up with solutions.Guest review byMaartjeNetherlands
- Review scoreSuperb · 244 reviewsThis is a fairly secluded hotel - perfect if you are looking for something quieter than the streets of watamu on the other side, or don't want to end up with a large noisy group in some of the trendy resorts. The food was really good. The massage was nice too. The hotel helps organize anything you want.Guest review byVincentFrance
