Il Visiwa è la scelta migliore per una vacanza a Watamu. Fin dal nostro arrivo siamo stati accolti con calore e professionalità dal direttore Diego, sempre disponibile e attento ad ogni dettaglio. La struttura è stata da poco rimodernata e offre camere ampie, pulite e ben arredate, con un design che unisce tradizione e comfort moderni. Ogni angolo dell’hotel è pensato per rilassarsi e godersi appieno il soggiorno. Il punto forte è senza dubbio la cucina: dalla colazione (nota d’eccellenza per i lievitati), passando per il pranzo e terminando con la cena, ad ogni pasto potrete gustare piatti tipici italiani preparati con ingredienti freschissimi e locali. Il personale è stato sempre attento e cordiale, facendoci sentire come a casa. La posizione dell’albergo è ideale per esplorare Watamu e il valore aggiunto è la bellissima spiaggia incontaminata e il mare cristallino antistanti l’albergo. E se desiderate un po’ di avventura il team dell’hotel è sempre pronto a consigliarvi e organizzare escursioni nei dintorni. In sintesi, questo è il posto perfetto per chi cerca relax, comfort e un’esperienza autentica in Kenya, con quel tocco italiano che fa la differenza. Bravi tutti!

Siamo venuti per mangiare. Siamo rimasti per Diego. Il Visiwa è quel ristorante che non ti aspetti nel mezzo dell’Africa: cucina italiana vera (quella che ti fa venire voglia di chiamare la nonna per raccontarle), vista mozzafiato sull’oceano e un’atmosfera che oscilla tra l’elegante e il “mi metto scalzo e mi prendo un altro bicchiere”. Diego, il gestore , è un personaggio da manuale: empatico, accogliente e con quella parlantina da buon italiano che ti fa sentire subito tra amici. Potresti anche non avere fame, (impossibile comunque)e farti convincere a restare solo per la compagnia. La pasta è al dente come Dio comanda, i piatti sono belli da vedere e ancora meglio da mangiare. Nessuna “afro-interpretazione” ardita dell’amatriciana, grazie al cielo. Solo roba buona, cucinata bene e servita col sorriso. Prezzi giusti, porzioni serie (non quelle da nouvelle cuisine “metti la lente d’ingrandimento”) e atmosfera rilassata ma curata. Una cena qui è come una chiacchierata con un amico: ti sazia, ti fa ridere, e finisce troppo presto. Insomma, se sei a Watamu e non passi dal Visiwa… ti sei perso un pezzo di vacanza.

Absolutely fantastic hotel in Watamu. Rooms large and clean, with all the necessary facilities for a comfy and relaxed stay. The garden, pool and private beach are stunning, the restaurant serves very good Italian food and the staff super kind and always smiling. It was a last minute booking due to a problem me and my family had with another accommodation, but Gisella and her staff did everything they could to help us and ensure we could enjoy our stay. It was a pleasure to stay at Visiwa and we will be back for sure!

Liked this place, very friendly staff and right on the beach. Comfortable rooms and the Italian ownership is reflected in the excellent ( and filling) pizzas and food at lunch and dinner. Slightly disappointing breakfasts I felt with lots of pastries but the Spanish omelettes were good. The only irritating point was the dreadful “lift” music played throughout the lovely garden area where you were blasted by bass sound without any idea of what the song was. Staff were happy to turn it down but I have no idea why they would play music is such an idyllic spot?

Scrivo finalmente, con colpevole ritardo, la recensione di questo fantastico resort. Innanzitutto vanno fatti i complimenti ai ragazzi dello staff e il personale tutto, sono stati fantastici in ogni istante del nostro soggiorno. In primis però devo citare Giselle che è davvero presente per ogni richiesta. La cucina è davvero ottima, il resort è gestito da italiani e la qualità del cibo rispecchia quella del nostro bel paese. Le stanze sono di spazi generosi e pulizia impeccabile. Tutto perfetto!! Grazie mille, spero di poterci tornare un giorno!
