Watamu Beach Cottages, hotel in Malindi

Located on the beachfront in Watamu, 3.1 mi from Watamu National Marine Park, Watamu Beach Cottages features air-conditioned rooms and free private parking.

Beautiful seafront cottage; spacious and very well equipped. Very helpful and friendly staff, who went out of their way to help us with our work at Mida Creek. Lovely grounds and pool, in a spot that is well removed from the busier northern end of Watamu Bay, but still readily accessible. Lovely beach, with relatively few people other than kite surfers. Remarkable value for money. We would happily stay again.

A Rocha Eco-Lodge & Conservation Centre, hotel in Malindi

Set in Watamu, 1.4 mi from Watamu National Marine Park, A Rocha Eco-Lodge & Conservation Centre offers accommodations with a shared lounge, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

The location was super: wery close to ocean, a little bit far from Watamu so it was quiet and private. The beautiful Garoda beach was 2km walking distance. There were kind and friendly community. They help me with everything I needed. It was supernice to have tasty meals together with them. You can see a Milkyway in the sky and monkeys in the morning playing on the roof. This is haven for naturelovers.

    Patrick is a great host. He answered my text messages quickly and let us check in early. The room is a new, very clean apartment with a comfortable bed and hot shower. It also has a well stocked kitchen. It is excellent value for money, and I will stay here again if I'm back in Malindi.

    A serene and quiet environment for relaxation and taking off the mind from the daily life hustle. A place away from home. Exceptional service from the staff. The host is vibrant and satisfies your needs for the holiday. I would recommend it for anyone looking for value for money. Couples holidays, honeymooners, family reunions, and holidays. Friends to meet and have a chit chat. It has an excellent ambience. It has all that you are looking for in a holiday. It's near the malindi airport. Offer transport on request.

    I did not have any breakfast. The location was in a very quiet, private and peaceful environment, away from the busy town activities of the town. Very beautiful and spacious rooms, a very excellent place for family. Would like to be here again. Hosts were very friendly.

    Very easily accessible by both public transportation and private means. Great hosts who made us feel very welcome and went out of their way to ensure our comfort. Very responsive in a timely manner to any issues raised. Great staff, Janet makes great meals and is very professional in her work. The mangoes in season on the many trees in the compound were a delight too. It's in a quiet neighborhood, therefore one can sleep well at night. Suitable for solo travelers or a small family/group.
