Durante il mio soggiorno al Sun Palm Beach Resort and Spa di Watamu, ho vissuto un'esperienza indimenticabile che supera ogni aspettativa. Sin dal momento dell'arrivo, sono stato accolto con un caloroso sorriso e una cortesia che mi ha fatto sentire subito a casa. La struttura è un vero paradiso: immersa tra rigogliosi giardini tropicali e con una vista mozzafiato sull'Oceano Indiano. Le camere sono spaziose, arredate con gusto e curate in ogni minimo dettaglio, offrendo un mix perfetto tra comfort moderno e un tocco di stile africano. La pulizia è impeccabile e il personale sempre disponibile a soddisfare ogni esigenza. La cucina è un altro punto di forza del resort: ogni pasto è una delizia per il palato. Ho apprezzato la varietà dei piatti, dalla cucina locale ricca di sapori autentici, ai piatti internazionali preparati con ingredienti freschissimi. La cena sulla spiaggia al chiaro di luna è stata un’esperienza romantica che ricorderò per sempre. L’area piscina è incantevole e ben tenuta, perfetta per rilassarsi dopo una giornata di escursioni. Inoltre, il resort organizza attività ed escursioni su misura: ho avuto il piacere di visitare il Parco Marino di Watamu e le famose rovine di Gede, guidato da esperti locali. Un ringraziamento speciale va al team della spa: i trattamenti sono stati rigeneranti, eseguiti con professionalità e accompagnati dal dolce sottofondo delle onde del mare. Il Sun Palm Beach Resort and Spa è molto più di una semplice vacanza: è un rifugio di pace, lusso e autenticità africana.

Il mio compagno ed io abbiamo appena trascorso una settimana indimenticabile in questo resort! La posizione è spettacolare: si affaccia direttamente su una spiaggia bianca da cartolina, con il mare cristallino che cambia sfumature durante il giorno. La camera era semplicemente perfetta: spaziosa, luminosa e arredata con gusto. Per noi che amiamo molto esplorare, questo resort si è dimostrato il punto di partenza ideale per scoprire le bellezze locali di Watamu e dintorni e per fare anche dei safari! Abbiamo gradito molto anche il cibo, ingredienti freschi e piatti davvero ottimi! Un grande grazie va al personale sempre sorridente, disponibile ed attento ai dettagli. Ci siamo sentiti coccolati dall’inizio alla fine. Consigliamo vivamente questo resort a chiunque desideri vivere un’esperienza unica ed indimenticabile in Kenya!

The whole experience with this hotel was disaster. Firstly, when we arrived, our room type wasnt available and they offered us much worse room. We refused to stay in there, so they actually found our room type available. But it took more than 3 hours to get it clean and ready for us. We finally checked in after 7pm in the evening (travelling with 2 kids, you can imagine how "fun" it was). When we got to the room, air condition wasnt working. The manager offered us to open the window - in really hot Kenya. I though she is joking or we are in some kind of hidden reality show. The electricity infrastructure in the room was really disaster also. Cables were outside the walls, we were scared our kids get injured by electricity. We decided to leave this hotel after 30 minutes...really don´t recommend to anybody to stay there. And btw, we were going to pay 1500 usd for 4 nights. So it is not cheap hotel at all, but providing services as cheap hostel in Bangkok.

Not as advertised
Booked a deluxe apartment with seaview. However, as it turned out the apartment was not an apartment, but a room in a house with a shared livingroom. Seaview was no -existent from the room.

This was the most magical vacation and guesthouse that we have ever stayed at! The facilities are gorgeous and the staff is so sweet and accommodating (and always available) and we LOVED the big and beautiful pool. I think floating around in the water at night with the palm trees swaying above me was the most magical experience I have ever had. The hotel has wonderful gardens and is situated on a beautiful beach! Concerning the bad reviews- the guesthouse is located in a small town in East Africa and costs under $100 a night for an exotic beachfront guesthouse, I really don't understand why people expect the hotel to be a 5 star resort in California (you want that, you need to expect to pay for it). That means that power is going to go off every now and then (they ALWAYS got it to come back reasonably quickly!), the food is going to be African and take a little while because everything is fresh and often made to order and there may be a few bugs (though we never saw ANY! they were always cleaning and we found everything to be exceptionally clean) I have been a social worker in East Africa for 16 years, and I can say the food is going to be a transition for anyone arriving in the country- it isn't hygiene related, it is just going to be rough for some people who are coming into a new continent with different bacteria. Whenever we host teams, even for the teams that choose to ONLY eat at nice guesthouses and snacks that they brought, people will always get sick.

Had to change rooms 3 times as there were issues with ants and a/c not working. Don't go for all inclusive as food isn't great (except breakfast) pizza place onsite good.

Power cuts lasted for a significant amount of time during our stay. Every evening when we returned there was no power. No power also meant no running water. We tried to resolve with management who promised it would be fixed soon every time. It wasn’t fixed. On check out we tried to get a refund for some of our stay due to the serious issues. The manager said he couldn’t do anything and the owner refused to speak to us.

For people who can appreciate the intense experience of nature. True people. Who are not obsessed by they own unsuccessful life. People who can appreciate the harmony and not to look just for reason to create disorder and instigations. Just for people who can be above the petty petty and see the infinite. Just for few who can deserve the benefit of peace of mind.
