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!ChrisKenya - 10Scored 10

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 choiceAAnonymousGermany - 10Scored 10
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.

Local administration and hoteliers should strive to attract more local tourists. Overdependence on foreigners leads to exaggerated prices in addition to leaving Watamu as a ghost town especially in low season.Kinini

- From RUB 7,160 per night8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 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.
TomGermany - 9.3Scored 9.3SuperbRated superb· 45 reviewsThis so great place! We liked everything! The room is so beautiful, there is so big and beautiful terrace, the view from the terrace! The breakfast and dinner were served to our private table outside of our room. We could enjoy the view and privacy and it felt like five stars hotel, when James cooked so delicious food. Breakfast was also excellent! You are already on the beach, when you open the gate from the garden. The owner Beba runs this place with big heart!AnuFinland
