The snorkeling trip was relatively expensive, they could have adjusted it to low season (we could not visit the dolphins).

Beautiful location, beautiful views, lots of places to relax and launch, child friendly

A perfect place for a relaxing family holiday. Well equipped and clean rooms, cool facilities including an outdoor gym, lovely and helpful staff who can organise all sorts of activities for you, a boat which takes you to the other side of the creek, and so on and so forth. In short, had a great stay at the Mida Creek Hotel and would book it again in an heartbeat should we visit Watamu again.

Everything was truly perfect.

Incredible address , so peaceful, away from the crowd . Nestled in a beautiful mangrove creek,my kids spent hours exploring the depths of the water, right in front of the hotel. It’s very safe, so it was perfect ! If you want to go to watamu, it’s very fast and easy with the captain ready to take you on the other side ( around 5 minutes !), then take a Tuktuk ( the hotel can arrange that for you ) to wherever you like ! Our family room was perfect, there was fans for everyone and we did not suffer from the heat. Everything is very clean and beautiful . I could not recommend you enough this little paradise ! Plus, the staff is incredibly friendly and discreet.

The breakfast could be improved.

Amazing paradise location and hotel! A beautiful place with everything you need to relax - a beautiful pool, outside beds and palm trees. Gorgeous mangrove trees, and fun to walk on the reef during low tide. Some parts of the day we felt like the only guests, not like the more touristic hotels. All the staff treated us very well, always very helpful! Also great to have the option to go with the free boat ride over to the other side of the creek, to Short beach and Garoda beach. I also recommend Lichthaus and Crab Shack for sunset meals.

You have to cross the creek for most of the activities and beaches, but the hotel is quite accommodating with its small boat, they dropped us and picked us up pretty much as we wanted.

This is a fairly secluded hotel - perfect if you are looking for something quieter than the streets of watamu on the other side, or don't want to end up with a large noisy group in some of the trendy resorts. The food was really good. The massage was nice too. The hotel helps organize anything you want.

Nothing, we are simple human beings.

Our experience at Mida Creek was wonderful. The staff were incredibly friendly and hospitable, always willing to assist with a smile. The food was delicious, and while the breakfast was well-prepared and nicely presented, adding more variety would take it to the next level. Utaratibu at its finest! For those looking to combine exercise with relaxation, my friends highly recommend trying kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It’s a great way to unwind while staying active. The ambience and serenity of the place is truly therapeutic. The beach is quiet and private, offering a peaceful retreat. We also suggest taking a walk to the long beach —it’s a beautiful experience. You can catch a sunrise. We would definitely recommend this place and we are already looking forward to our next visit.

Amazing location and stunning views of the creek. The private beach is a big plus. Free boat shuttle across the creek is a bonus. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. We ordered octopus and fish from the local fishermen and the chef made a delicious meal just for us. Great activities offered by the hotel. Highly recommend the tubing!

A glorious bit of paradise. The free boat ride over to the Lichthaus for sundown and the kayak trip into the mangroves were very very nice X

The fact that the place is so small (in terms of rooms and overall number of guests) and that all rooms are around a central 'square' or open space - and hence close to each other - can mean that you feel you might be impinging on other guests' peace and quiet when you come as a family with small (and noisy) children.

This is a small (only six rooms, I think) hotel on the 'other side' of Mida Creek - opposite the concentration of hotels and restaurants on the northern mainland. It's and small number of other guests and secluded location on a bay in the creek means that it's calm, secluded, and feels almost like a special private home. That said, it's still super easy to get to the other side of the creek with a small private boat (free transfer once a day) that takes you there in 5-10 minutes.

Gorgeous hotel, relaxed and chilled with lovely facilities and fabulous staff. Breakfast fresh fruit, cooked breakfast and baked items and delicious juice. Loads of seating, hammocks, loungers attractively kauf out, some on platforms. Boat across the estuary to Watamu is quick and efficient and beautiful. It’s a hidden gem tucked away - perfect for those who like a chilled atmosphere. If you’re a noisy group this place wouldn’t be for you as it’s small but perfect for couples, families, friends.

I was a bit scared of sleeping in an open room without windows. But there was not a single mosquito. Also, the mosquito net did a great job. Same for the two fans near the bed, so it never got too hot.

I loved it! It's a very special place.

Everything was perfect

My partner and I spent a week at the Mida Creek and we wish we could have extended our stay! It’s a really lovely and cozy place, perfect for travelers who want to enjoy the beautiful nature with peace and quiet. Unlike the Watamu side that is always crowded, the Mida Creek feels more private. All staff is recruited locally, very friendly and knows their village the best. We also went for snorkeling twice with the captain of the hotel who has stunning skills of guiding visitors under water. It’s a lot of fun to go to Watamu by boat that’s offered by the hotel. When the water is low, you can spot starfish, puffers and others on the sandbar right behind the hotel. There are also some friendly monkeys in the mangroves. A great eco and sweet holiday resort that I won’t hesitate to book again for my next trip to Watamu.

The dinner portions, particularly the calamari were extremely small for the money charged.

The location was perfect. Beautiful and quiet. The creek is truly a hidden jem. We loved it so much we extended our stay.
