Hotels in Watamu Beach, Watamu

Great friendly staff, great selection of choice on drinks and food menu, lovely comfy beds.

Our stay at the hotel was wonderful. The breakfast was tasty, but lack variety, if you stay longer time. Room was comfortable with big bed (in our case it was too hard), clean, nice interior, soft bedding and white towels every day. Guarded beautiful beach area with big sunbeds. A wonderful beach with small islands in the ocean that you can walk to at high tide.

Breakfast was very basic but you can bring your own food and cook your own

How do I start to describe the best hotel experience I had. Arriving at Mida Creek Hotel was like entering a quite oasis. You enter a kind of community hidden among the mangroves and the jungles by the shore of the creek. You can draw parallels to the movie "the Beach", in the sense of serenity, reclusiveness and beauty. You can go to the hotel by boat, driven by captain of the hotel, a kind and professional boatsman and fisherman. He also does sunset flamingo tours which we took and were absolutely impressed by! Hotel is also reachable by taxi, which the hotel can organize for you, strongly recommended! The hotel is isolated (which is a strong point), you are not bothered by salespeople or crowded beaches like in Malindi or Diani beach, and you have the creek almost to yourself. Even if you develop cabin fever, the captain is always to boat you. Staying isolated at the hotel won’t make you gastronomically bored either, as the hotel has managed to find the best chef on the Kenyan seaside! The menu has good varieties too, local food, burgers, pasta, seafood to name a few! It was one of the greatest food experiences we had in Kenya. Hotel quality is impeccable and is kept super clean and tidy by the greatest hotel staff we encountered – anywhere in the world. From cleaners to the barmen to the pool boy, they all contributed to making our stay as great as possible. It felt like you were staying at a family run hotel, they were all so kind, caring and sincere. The hotel also has that very local vibe, you truly feel Kenyan culture there. And you live in nature, literarily! Greenery, animals and birds are plentiful. Amazonian I would say. Special thanks to David, for being such cool guy and also organizing such memorable kayaking trip through the mangroves. It might sound too good to be true, but it actually was. The hotel had something that no other hotel we have stayed at has had – that feeling of arriving in a special place. Just like in The Beach.

Perfect place to stay if you are not looking for a noisy resort holiday stay. This is a place to relax. Staff was always ready with a smile to help you with all your needs. Structure is new, rooms are big and very clean. It is close to the beach and swimming pool was great after a day outside. We used the personal chef and I can assure you top service. I would surely recommend it.

Everything was great. The location, the room with A/C, the friendly staff, the beautiful pool...

Service. Staff. Pool. Kitchen. WiFi. Room.

It was a home away from home kind of vacation, had a very genuine setting where all visitors feels included especially during meals where everyone sits at one table and enjoys the delicious meals prepared by the chefs. The whole team was a 10/10 P.S if you are into volunteering programs like marine or beach clean-up then A Rocha is your place

I had such a lovely stay! Sophia was incredibly warm, kind, and responsive from the moment I booked. She made me feel truly welcomed and at home. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests. Highly recommend her as a host! The room was clean, cozy, and exactly as pictured, peaceful, with a beautiful breeze and great lighting. I slept so well and felt safe throughout my stay.

Very nice and comfortable apartment.
