We booked 2 nights here without reading the reviews first, after reading we were a bit nervous it wouldn't be a great experience but we were very pleasantly surprised. Very warm welcome from the hotel owner, juice and biscuits on arrival. Our room was a ground floor quad room very close to the pool. Great location in middle of Watamu with beach access. Sea views from the restaurant. Breakfast was included which was a selection of pastries, fruit, and egg station. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Room was big, clean and had a veranda. Pool had a jacuzzi like area which our kids liked to play in. Pool was clean and had shady spots in hide from the sun. It was never busy which we loved. Feel that previous bad reviews of this hotel do not reflect its current state. Will note that we didn't eat lunch or dinner at the hotel though as we wanted to experience local seafood places.
