The staff were attentive and pleasant, but the
food could use some creativity as it was standard fare. Our stay was during a busy weekend, and although some areas felt a bit overwhelmed, the attentive service made up for the shortcomings. Overall, we enjoyed our time relaxing by the pool.

The location of Hemingways in Watamu takes your breath away. My room had a stunning sea view that made mornings so bright. There’s a nice touch with the room’s amenities like the minibar stocked daily, fresh milk for coffee, and a kettle for tea. The bed was comfortable, and the decor felt inviting. I encountered a hiccup with the food options during my stay. due to low season, it seemed less varied than I'd hoped. I had to rely on the beans and potatoes for breakfast as the offerings lacked creativity. One evening, I faced double charging from my bill, which took a couple of weeks to sort out, adding unnecessary stress to my trip. The pools, while beautifully maintained, were a bit warm for my liking and could use at least one freshwater option for variety. It was also disappointing to find the TV didn’t have popular streaming services available, limiting my options for in-room entertainment. Despite these inconveniences, I did appreciate the clean environment and several friendly staff members. The views are truly among the best, making this hotel a memorable place, even with its flaws.

great sea view but breakfast options need improvement
The room provided an amazing sea view that complemented our stay beautifully. The location allowed easy access to the beach, which was an added bonus. The daily restocking of the minibar was a thoughtful touch that made us feel special.
The breakfast options felt limited and could benefit from more variety each morning.

I adored the Deluxe Single Room with Sea View! The cleanliness was impeccable, and the balcony view allowed for mesmerizing ocean sunrises every morning. 😊 The staff were extremely friendly and helpful too, making the experience even better!
Could improve on communication regarding guest billing inquiries, as it took some time to resolve a small discrepancy during my stay.

Our family enjoyed an unforgettable visit, especially watching dolphins play at the stunning Malindi Watamu Marine Park. A big shoutout to Chef Dennis, who whipped up delicious meals that delighted everyone, including my three grandchildren.
My wife thinks the kids would have loved more kid-friendly activities.

Hemingways nailed it with their sea view! Waking up to those ocean vibes was pure magic. The Deluxe Single Room with Sea View was immaculate, just like the photos. 🌊
But let’s not sugarcoat everything. the food options felt a bit basic and didn’t quite live up to the hype. Plus, I had to battle with some billing hiccups that could’ve brought on a bit more stress than desired.

During my stay, I appreciated the efforts of the staff, particularly Manager George, who resolved my concerns with professionalism. Staying in the Twin Room with Sea View was a delight. the view from the room brightened each morning, and I enjoyed the little amenities like the daily restocked minibar. While the food choices felt somewhat limited, the experience was enhanced by the welcoming atmosphere created by Cate and the cheerful reception from Josephat.
