20-30 minute taxi ride from Malindi Airport to resort.
20-30 minute taxi ride from Malindi Airport to resort. Resort collected and transported. We did not go on excursions except fishing - ocean and Mida Creek. Went to Licht Haus restaurant for sunset dinner. Little expensive, food not spectacular, seating was on floor cushions or table, but view was spectacular. Reservations required/needed. Ate at local places while walking about city - cheap and plenty of them.Guest review byMuellerUnited States - 10.0
Some really good beaches... very full day trips on boats...
Some really good beaches... very full day trips on boats... lots of stalls to purchase things... good supermarkets on the main road if you are staying in a villa... due to the heavy Italian tourist presence, there are plenty of great eateries and restaurants... easy to get around on motorbike or tuk tuk... generally very safe compared to Nairobi.Guest review byAsefUnited Kingdom - 8.0
I loved my stay there. The room was big and clean.
I loved my stay there. The room was big and clean. The staff were very helpful and cheerful. I would also like to thank Yasmeen for making my stay pleasant. Thank you very much peponi villa entire crew 🙏Guest review byAhmedKenya - 10.0
Watamu is one of my favorite places to visit in North Coast.
Watamu is one of my favorite places to visit in North Coast. It is not overpowering like other towns in North Coast. The people are very friendly and hospitable. I particularly enjoyed the sunset views at Litchaus and Crab Shack. The cultural tour to Waka Waka Island and seeing dolphins. However, it can be pricier than other places. I recommend going with an open mind and a spirit of fun. To get the most from Watamu, do not rush. I recommend spacing out your travel and allowing yourself to soak it all in. There's definitely so much to see and learn from the local community.Guest review byAnonymous - 8.0
The people are quite friendly including cab divers.
The people are quite friendly including cab divers. The beaches are wonderful. Not too much interference from the beach boys. The area is relatively quiet in the evenings. Good for a person who has relaxation in mind. My favourite beach was Gecko resort. It is easy to get around Watamu with Tuk Tuk or cabs.Guest review bykaguru - 8.0
A bit expensive as it's made for tourists, so expect...
A bit expensive as it's made for tourists, so expect European prices (5EUR one beer or 8EUR a cocktail). The beach is amazing, it's totally worth it :) However, try to be in a beach chair, as those are in private restaurants or hotels; that's the only way the beach boys are not going to annoy you all the time (and even there, they might try to talk to you or stare at you, but it's less likely). There's a club (Come back club) that we loved, as the atmosphere and music were great :)Guest review byDanielaChile

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.2Superb - What previous guests thought, 59 reviewsLittle piece of paradise run by a terrific soul. Laurence is such a cool and funny woman, and the house is just wonderful. We loved our time there and wish we could have stayed longer. The breakfast is delicious, fresh, made with so much attention and love. Cool cats and turtle wandering around, comfy bed, close to snake farm... everything was lovely! Watamu town and beach can be easily reach by tuktuk or boda boda, and snake farm by foot if you want. Thanks for everything Laurence 🙏Guest review byJenBelgium
- From US$63.75 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.0Good - What previous guests thought, 9 reviewsThe apartment is located near the road, hence very easy to access at all hours of the day. It's also conveniently located close to a mall. There is good security. The pool is always clean and lots of privacy. The rooms were very clean with enough clean towels. The host was very pleasant. She welcomed me warmly and offered a free itinerary on things I could do while in Watamu. The beach is only a few minutes walk away from the apartment.Guest review byNjeriKenya

We stayed for 4 nights at Median Palms and we really had time to relax and recharge after the safari we did before.

Additionally, there is a a water sports center on the beach where our kids took wind-surfing lessons.Guest review byDimanBulgaria
