"I would Recommend Hemingway hotel to everyone as must stay place. Third was not anything I could pick that wasn’t top class. The beach had a lot of seaweed but that is a natural issue not the hotels fault. I went out on the fishing charter and couldn’t a nice big sale fish. Do not go out if you are not tough!! The sea is choppy. The food and bar where especially great. ♥️ Loved every minute. 5 stars"

The ONE

10/10 Excellent

"Nice quiet breezy location - 3 pools , though the games items are pretty worn. More of a local cuisine and customer service."

Turtle Bay Beach Club

"Très bon accueil par Janet et le reste du personnel. Excellent service tout au long du séjour. La nourriture était variée et de qualité. Merci pour tout, Turtle Bay Resort!"

Visiwa Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place and extremely comfortable. The pool and the beach views are amazing, and the breakfast was simply the best. 😍😍 The entire staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially the gentleman at the front desk, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We truly felt pampered throughout our stay."

AHG Lion Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The food was amazing. The place and the weather, also. All the staff was very friendly and helpful. My suggestion is that there should be a portable or fixed clothesline for hanging wet clothes after the beach or pool."

Mvuvi Lodge Watamu
