Watamu Beach Cottages, hotel in Malindi

Situated on the beachfront in Watamu, 5 km from Watamu National Marine Park, Watamu Beach Cottages features air-conditioned rooms and free private parking.

Those beach cottages were awesome. We got probably the best cottage from entire area (one of the few with an ocean view). All the staff were very helpful and running this place like a small oasis of relaxation just next to the ocean. Probably the best place on enitre Garoda beach, just next to the big sandbank (appearing only sometimes during low tide).

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

Set in Watamu, 2.2 km from Watamu National Marine Park, A Rocha Eco-Lodge & Conservation Centre offers accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

Very special place. You need to buy into the ethos, value and sense of community. It’s a rare find. Not at all like some of the more pretentious places on the coast.

    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 beautiful, comfortable, safe Hideaway in Malindi. Beautiful tropical garden. Felt more like a Homestay. A lot of sockets to charge your devices. A big room and big bathroom, with a nice terrace. 'Delicious local breakfast, and delicious Dinner cooked to order - always served with a smile by Saidi. Trevor for airport pick-up and other trips. And the Impeccable Hostess Jean. I truly enjoyed my stay at the White Nyumba.

    The breakfast, the pool, the security, the compound is beautiful and very close proximity to the beach and restaurants and attractions....Bernard is a great host, Magu-Gandhi made sure our room looked perfect everyday bringing us fresh towels and clean sheets..... Daniel was only 1 of the security team but always greeted us with a warm and courteous smile...our request to check in early because we were arriving at 5am was also a big plus after 18hrs of travel, the entire Beverly team was magnificent! Definitely will return!
