    Nice resort, very friendly staff, large pool, direct access to the beach. Well located, many sports activities available including padel and tennis courts. The hotel restaurant is very nice and affordable at a good price.

    It is beautifully and carefully organized. There is privacy and space to relax outside. The pool is by far, the cleanest and nicest pool I’ve ever enjoyed (and I much prefer the ocean). Beach is steps away. Having a PADI shop onsite is an outstanding bonus. Restaurant is clean and the food is nice. But: The BEST, the TREASURE of staying at Ocean Sports, is the STAFF! I’ve never been treated so wonderfully and felt so taken care of and yet, my privacy also respected. Absolutely everyone - gardeners and maintenance staff, guest reception and hotel hospitality, restaurant and pool - EVERYONE smiled and checked to be sure I had everything I needed or asked if there was anything I didn’t have that I wanted. Joachim, Jonathan, Daniel - thank you!! Thank you to the bar staff for making excellent cocktails and to the serving staff for helping to make the dining experience sweet and ensuring I had a carafe of fresh coffee to bring to my room every morning! I really had such a great visit. I hope I can return again one day. Thank you, to ALL at Ocean Sports!

    Amazing Place between the ocean and the nature

    Amazing place. It feels like a magic garden: full of beautiful trees and flowers. There’s a swimming pool right above the ocean. Everything is really clean, the room is really nice, breakfast is good, we just had one dinner and it was good (but if you want to try swahili fish dishes go in the center of Watamu, where the T junction is: it’s great!). We really enjoyed our stay, the whole staff is great and helpful at any time. The wifi wasn’t working in our room (probably one of the farthest from the reception), but in the common areas and garden it works perfectly. You can easily find a tuk tuk or a motorcycle at the gate ready to pick you up. Thank you, We’ll be back for sure, hopefully soon.

    Legendary place that stands up to it's reputation. Nearly immaculate throughout the site. Lots of staff to attend to your needs. Fabulous room and near perfect bar area. Really enjoyed our stay and were sad to leave.

    The place was incredibly spacious, spotless, and comfortable. While there are some older cottages on the property, I was lucky to stay in one of the newer ones — and it was absolutely beautiful. Thoughtfully designed, modern, and serene — it felt like the perfect blend of charm and comfort.

    If you want to have network in the room you have to pay. This is not appropriate for such an upscale accommodation.

    We initially had sheets that were mixed polyester and cotton - too hot for the coast but they were changed to cotton on request

    So this is one of our favourite places that we return to over and over again. It has the most gorgeous setting with large open areas where you can spend the day in a very relaxed atmosphere. The staff are fabulous and do all they can to make sure everything is great.

    There were some ants in the bathroom but once we told staff they sorted it out promptly.

    This was a great place to stay. First of all the atmosphere in the bar was nice, they had the football final on, the food was great (both breakfast and lunch) The waiter Ray went above and beyond to ensure we had a good time, and so did Joseph. The beds were very spacious and the room was clean, with aircon working fine, the pool was also nice. I would recommend it for people to visit if they are in Watamu

    Online booking system doesn't show that a small kid can be added to the room at no extra cost.

    The (NEW) pool is amazing and offers entertainment for people of all ages, incl. a kids pool. Very family friendly (small kids don't pay and they add an additional bed/mattress to the double room), playground, kid's pool, kids play area in the restaurant area, very kids-friendly staff! The resort is beautiful, nice garden and it's small and intimate, yet offers everything one would wish for. We loved everything about the place - it was a perfect vacation! Food is great, too, with a small menu but daily specials that keep changing. Lot's of other restaurant options are also close-by.

    The beach was dirty and full of seaweed and garbage- no one cleaned it and going in the water was not enjoyable. Breakfast could have been included different choices on different days (it was exactly the same every day)

    The location was good as it was centrally located. The property was beautiful and very well kept and clean. The pool was very nice.
