Top 6 All-inclusives in Watamu, Kenya

May 19, 2023 Velvet Mowry

The delightful village of Watamu is an eco-tourist’s dream, lined with sandy white beaches and hotels dedicated to sustainable tourism. Watamu is a quick snorkel away from the Malindi Marine Reserve Park, and Turtle Beach is the ideal spot for a swim and a tanning session. The village proper features quaint Kenyan shopping stalls called dukas, where you can stock up with supplies. Make sure to visit the Gede Ruins, a mysterious and heavily overgrown 12th century Swahili village, and the beautifully fluttery Kipepeo Butterfly Project.

Italian resort located on one of Watamus best beaches. Good accommodations with air conditioning. Food is a bit hit and miss but you can walk to the fabulous Papa Remo restaurant. Located towards the Malindi end of Watamu.

Nice setting, nice people

Reviewed By Andreas K

The setting is very nice: good beach in front of the hotel, walking distance to town, the rooms are nice or even superb (rooms at seaside), and the owner as well as staff were extremely friendly. The small bay in front of the hotel is actually like a big natural swimmingpool.

Temple point gets it wrong and right

Reviewed By kim135790

Temple Point gets some things so wrong, and some things so right it’s actually hard to write a cohesive review. The rooms are not special, quite generic, yet the spaces outside the rooms are great chill areas. The beach nearby is stunning, but they police the beach and won’t allow snorkeling. You would assume they would arrange that their guests could swim with snorkel and goggles. The service at the breakfast restaurant is terrible, the waiters seem confused. The restaurant Lichthaus is gorgeous. The guests there do not interact much, it’s not social. Rather separate families. The pools are very warm and generic big hotel pools. The yoga deck is special. All in all it was expensive for what it offers but much in Kenya is.
