Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a slightly disorganized location and may need some maintenance but offers fantastic amenities. The rooms, although clean, become congested if a baby cot is requested. The service was friendly but not always punctual. The dining experience lacked variety but had some good hot wok dishes.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with excellent views, multiple swimming pools, and a variety of activities and entertainment. The service is exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff always ready to help. The location, within the Watamu Marine Park, is wonderful but may need more shaded areas. Dining options are good but could use more seafood choices. Overall, a great choice for a fun and relaxing stay.
