“Great stay with great staff. Changes were being made while we were there to make it even better.”
We spend 4 nights here just before Christmas. Unlike previous reviews we found the staff to be an absolute asset to this place. They anticipated on every wish we could have and made our stay perfect.

Make sure you wake up early to catch the sunrise🤭🥰It was my best experience yet. Very relaxing. The view was worth every dime. The food was insanely good,cheers to the chef,best mahamri ever. Clean rooms ,beautiful bathroom. The staff super nice and kind. Cheers to Kombe at the bar 🫡,very nice and kind. Sandra and Malcom also made my stay there so splendid. Such good company.

“Nice rooms but outside facilities need improving.”
The hotel room was lovely, clean and comfortable. They gave us a nicer room as it was low season and rooms were empty.

“Superb”
Our stay was incredible. Attentive to details, clean rooms and what made the stay more memorable was the special request from us which was astonishing. Fast reaction on our leaking sink and cold shower. Good breakfast

“Spectacular! Absolutely relaxing!”
I love the concept of a resort on a cliff. The views of the sea were spectacular, the infinity pool relaxing, and the larger pool exhilarating. The pools were warm at night; I loved that! Breakfast was great; good food portions, more than enough. The staff were kind and helpful, and I enjoyed walking along the beach at low tide and seeing crabs roaming freely in their natural habitat. Mawe Zuri is such a relaxing place. I didn't want to leave.

A fantastic location with a fantastic ocen-view overseeing Watamu Bay. Well-designed hotel, perfectly scaled for the space - providing 5-star feeling and service while staying small and personal. Spacious rooms with powerful AC and huge beds. Friendly staff - great seafood. Luxury stay!
