Nice, cool and large cottage by the beach

Our cottage was good, with decent beds, a nice terrace, kitchen, etc. I loved the fact that the hotel kept the trees everywhere, providing welcome shade throughout the compound and even by the pool. Path straight to the beach is nice.

Wonderful spot

What a wonderful location!!!The easy access to the beach,the cool air amidst the trees, so many lounging areas and very helpful staff were some of the reasons why Watamu beach cottages are a great choice to stay at.

Really spacious and private cottage with good cooking facilities. Loved the architecture. Great facilities like the bar with lots of tables spread out for privacy and various sun loungers and hammocks with sea views. Excellent value for money. Daily cleaning and turndown was a fantastic service.

Ticking all the boxes and excellent value for money

This property is only a few steps from the beach in a very good, quiet location. The rooms were very good with an excellent view of the beach. The surroundings are maintained in a very natural way. Beautiful. The staff were quiet and non-interfering and looked after our rooms quietly while we were out.

High end service on a budget

Very high end service for this price range. Comfortable cottages with ensuite a/c bedrooms with hot water, a fully equipped and clean kitchen, beautifully decorated inner and outer spaces and a personal housekeeper. Beforehand we received all necessary information for our stay, including contact details for transfers and activities. During our stay all wishes were accommodated swiftly.

Absolutely amazing!! We highly recommend Watamu Cottages!

The cottages were very private, in a great location and well equipped. The pool was lovely and access to the beach was very easy. Our 2 bed cottage had a lovely little kitchen which we used a lot. But we also used the restauraunt which was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially our Dada, Hariette. We have already recommended it to friends.
