"Nice hotel with spacious rooms and efficient air conditioning. The beds are very comfortable and provide a good night’s sleep. Breakfast could be more varied, and we missed having cheese in the omelet ant it would have been nice to have a proper espresso machine in the bar that grinds the beans."

Hemingways Watamu

8/10 Good
"Excellent property with superb views. The staff are extremely helpful too. The beach unfortunately is covered with sea weeds and you hardly see the sand and not ideal to walk or lie on the sun lounger. Not much choice on the menu for vegetarians either."
