From the moment I arrived, Beba upgraded my room which was grest as the ocean view was fabulous. The room is spotless clean. Very elegantly decorated. Staff were very helpful. The villa is gorgeous. A few meters away from the beach. The private beach made my stay fantastic and ensured privacy. The pool was just the right spot to disconnect from the world. Breakfast was delicious and portions were huge. India and Gold ( the dogs 🐕) were definitely a huge plus. I loved their presence and played with them. The entire experience was very unique, authentic and relaxing 😌 I highly recommend it 👌 as a solo traveler, this felt do safe. Thank you Beba for taking care of things and understanding.

The venue is very lovely and quaint. Feels very cozy and homely with artistic decor. Offers great privacy while still giving professional standards. The customer service was exceptional; the staff especially Simon went over and above in making our stay special and addressing our particular and exceptional requests. The chef and Saidi also did a great job accommodating one of our party who was vegan. Every interaction was met with warmth and kindness; this made us want to extend our stay. We definitely will be returning. Also liked Bear, the dog :-)

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.

Probably, the best location in Watamu: clean beach (if you would like to have white sand beach and not the beach covered by dry seaweed) - this is the place. If you like to enter the ocean to swim not stepping on corals but via sand (high tide time for sure :)) - this is the place. The view from the hotel is fantastic. Restaurant is very good. Good wine list. The place to enjoy the life.

This place is amazing! Ziro and Amina took great care of us. Ziro cooked us delicious food every night and morning and they kept the place immaculate. They were also able to organize an excursion to the marine park and found us reliable and affordable tuktuks for getting around town. Isabella was super responsive to anything we needed and made the whole experience (from airport pick up to departure) seamless. The grounds are serene - like an Instagram dream - with your own private beach. We could have stayed twice as long.

Amazing hotel, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. Just beautiful, like in the pictures. Decorated with an eye for detail and aesthetic. Dinner exceeded our expectations, was extraordinary. Also the setting of the dinner was super nice and romantic, we really enjoyed just staying in the hotel and having dinner there. Manny, the owner of the hotel, also puts effort into having a chat with his guests, which we really appreciated and just made the whole experience more personal. Location was ideal for us as kitesurfers, not far from Geroda beach.

This is a home away from home. The views are to die for and we enjoyed every bit of our stay. Given another chance we would definitely go back a thousand times. If there was a million star rating we would give the place a million stars rating. The views are exactly as shown in the pictures. The beach view from the top rooms are amazing...the pool is private. Grace was very friendly to ensure we checked in well and our host Celestine is amazing at what she does. Casa Sultan is the place to be.
