衞生還可以,床很軟。有空調,吹風機,小冰箱。餐還可以,意大利餐。 離海灘近,晚上還算比較安靜,泳池有人管理,但不是每天換水。酒店比較小,沒有其他設施。 老闆應該是意大利人,那個狗意大利人經理看我們是亞洲面孔,像欠他媽錢一樣,差評!

🇮🇹 Italiano È stata un’esperienza indimenticabile che spero di poter ripetere al più presto. Siamo state al Lion Beach Resort, un hotel curato nei minimi dettagli, con una cucina buonissima e sempre varia, adatta a ogni gusto. Camerieri e cuochi sempre molto cordiali, gentili e attenti. Addetti alle pulizie, giardinieri, manutentori della piscina e personale della sicurezza sempre sorridenti e molto dediti al loro lavoro. I ragazzi delle escursioni (Makuti) sono super! Abbiamo fatto con loro tre gite, una più bella dell’altra: sempre solari e di ottima compagnia. Ma sicuramente il punto di forza di questo team è l’animazione! Florence, Rajab e Akeem, nonostante la giovane età, sono impeccabili: sempre pronti a proporre attività e a intrattenere, sono ragazzi davvero in gamba e trasmettono un’energia contagiosa, come se facessero questo lavoro da sempre. Impossibile resistere a Florence — troppo brillante e piena di vita! Un altro aspetto da non sottovalutare è la loro padronanza delle lingue: bravissimi in italiano, francese e tedesco! Watamu ci ha lasciato un ricordo stupendo che porteremo sempre con noi, e questo è sicuramente anche merito dello staff del Lion Beach. Ancora grazie di cuore! ❤️ 🇬🇧 English It was an unforgettable experience, and I hope to do it again very soon. We stayed at the Lion Beach Resort, a beautifully maintained hotel with delicious and varied food to suit every taste. The waiters and chefs were always very kind, friendly, and attentive. The housekeeping staff, gardeners, pool maintenance team, and security personnel were always smiling and dedicated to their work. The excursion team (Makuti) was fantastic! We went on three trips with them, each one more beautiful than the last — they were always cheerful and great company. But without a doubt, the highlight of the whole team is the entertainment crew! Florence, Rajab, and Akeem, despite their young age, were impeccable — always ready to propose activities and entertain guests. They’re incredibly talented and bring contagious energy, as if they’ve been doing this job forever. And it’s impossible not to love Florence — she’s so bright and full of life! Another thing worth mentioning is their language skills — they speak Italian, French, and German perfectly! Watamu has left us with wonderful memories that we’ll carry with us forever, and that’s certainly thanks to the amazing staff at Lion Beach. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️

We were very satisfied with our stay at this hotel. It’s perfectly located right on the beach, with easy access to the city and great facilities. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant offered a wide variety of delicious food, with something different each day. Every evening featured a different entertainment program, which made our stay even more enjoyable. A huge thank you to Florence from the entertainment team, who kept our kids happy and engaged throughout our holiday! We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily return.

We went there and I couldn't believe what I saw.The view there is very great👌 Everything was very organised with good food and good service.The director was very social he recommended different dishes which were very delicious and we thank him for accompanying us throughout our holiday it was very great of him. We went to the beach freely mostly in the evenings to watch sunset. I recommend this place you should go try it

I recently had the pleasure of staying at your property and wanted to share my experience. The hotel was clean and well maintained, and I was especially impressed by the friendliness of the staff. The food was excellent, and my room was spotless and comfortable. The only minor drawback was the distance to the beach, which was a bit farther than expected. However, this did not significantly impact my overall enjoyment of the stay.

Amazing location and very well advertised but very far from as described. The Air conditioning did not work at all which is a must for that town. Troed two different rooms and was the same. The shower drain was blocked and flooded the floor. No towels in the rooms. Very minimalistic services with high end pricing. We decided to check out the same day we checked in despite of a 3-night stay. Still fighting the battle for our refund which we were promised by the manager before we left, Ricardo I believe was his name. I would not recommend this place at all. We spend the next 3 days in a different hotel which was great and nothing like this place
