Reviews of The Mida Creek Hotel

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

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

The drive to the property is great even though super in the interior. Once you get there, you immediately realize that the drive was not worth it .

I do not even know where to start. This has to be the most horrible property I have seen in my entire life. I travelled here with kids because the photos posted online and the reviews are so misleading. Getting there, we could not even recognize the reception, we kept hoping there is another gate that leads to paradise but no, it is a living hell of poorly kept facilities that I won't even pay $10 for if I had known how pathetic and a health hazard is posed. The owner takes advantage of the non refundable policy to let you know that they won't refund your money even if you don't stay but honestly who can even stay there? Everything is mouldy, old and unkempt and the swimming pool is not something I can dip in. Eventually when we realized we won't get a refund we took photos to show the real state of the property to all future unsuspecting guests. While at it, the owner shouted at us, together with the kids to leave his property and followed us threateningly all the way out.

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.

The staff are all very kind and amazing. Very helpful 👌 The location offers good serenity.

Given the amount they charge I felt like I didn't get much value for money. First they only offer you breakfast, very basic breakfast. You can only choose between pastries or English breakfast which again is served on very small portions. If you need anything extra like an egg or pancake you pay for it. The food in their restaurant is good but very expensive. There are cats that will be allover you while in the restaurant area,am allergic to fur so that was a turn off for me. Lastly there is no much to do if you are solo traveller. The swimming pool was broken. The water sports such as kayaking as indicated in their price list are again very expensive and can only be done when the tide allows it. The beach is area is very small .

Location, amazing staff, great food, very comfortable rooms, facilities.

We loved everything!

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.

Everything was truly perfect.

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.

The breakfast could be improved.

Great staff and very beautiful

Nothing

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.

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.

Great relaxing Setting with Great Crew

The Manager and staff were very helpful. The location was great.

The cleanness overall was good but towels, bed sheets and bed nets were with stains and mattresses were low quality. Food was ok but not great.

It was incredible, great walks during low tides, very friendly staff and comfortable room.
