The residence was quite okay and matches the photos provided. The staff were very friendly and helpful including activities to do around Lamu. Although small, the pool was a nice addition for the hot afternoons inside the premises.

Since Stopover is the first guesthouse you see when arriving at Shela's seafront from Lamu, my gut instinct was to see where else we could stay, but we could not have imagined a more perfect, relaxing (and very clean) place. Hamid, the manager of Stopover, made us feel very comfortable and safe, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our 2nd floor balcony overlooking the sandy approach to Shela and line of fishing boats and dhows was a bargain itself. Add the mosquito-netted traditional Arabic beds, eager-to-please staff, and delicious fresh fish meals and you have the perfect spot to experience the varied cultures of Lamu island. You can wander around Shela village, walk the beach, or go into nearby Lamu town (for which I highly recommend Ali as a guide to introduce you to Arabic culture through his eyes). It is SAFE, relaxing, romantic and so interesting to experience. The Stopover (Shela location) is the perfect base for your Lamu adventure.

Fantastic stay at Royal House, primarily thanks to the excellent service and friendliness of Baya and Omar who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The location is great - both very central in Shela (1 min to the beach) and very quiet. The hotel is clean and comfortable, though shows some signs of wear and tear. We hope the new owners will continue to ensure its upkeep. Highly recommend.
