“We spent few days in Mawimbi Hotel Lodge and we really enjoyed our stay. Hotel staff is really kind and helpful. Breakfast was delicious as well other meals from the menu of Amici miei restaurant. We also enjoyed the swimming pool area that is clean, quiet and well maintained. We definitely recommend this place. Thank you for all!”

“The layout of the restaurant and the gardens were lovely! There were some big comfy chairs at the reception that you could use to have coffee or cocktails. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bed was very very comfortable and the nets were treated every evening.”

“The room was simple and arranged well. Anita (reception desk -night shift) was great and helped make it easier. Shower was cold but was fixed promptly”

, USA

“- completely everything- little bit more expensive but worth it- relaxed atmosphere especially at night”

, Germany

“Staff very helpfully. A beach boy named Busca is always arround. Offers any kind of service at reasonable price. His name is a nice pun in Spanish meaning "look for". Transfer, trip, buying - anything!”

, Bulgaria

“Watamu is a nice little town with a lot of tourists. The Mawimbi lodge was a very sweet and rather small hotel with very nice and cosy rooms. The beds were big and comfy (something we really appreciated since most other beds we experienced were really small). The staff was absolutely lovely and helpful. The pool was clean and nice. The restaurant is a little pricey (compared with local prices!) but the food was very good and if you feel like not spending all your money there you always have the opportunity to go out and eat for less in some of the street-restaurants. The breakfast- which you can book with your room or as an addition when you arrive (at least thats what we could do) was amazing and really worth the money. We enjoyed our stay and were a little sad to leave. Thanks for having us!”
