Memorably worth it.

Beautiful architecture, minimalism modern Swahili vibes. The rooms were exceptionally clean and well furnished. The beds though, felt stiff but the sheets were clean.Housekeeping made sure the towels and sheets were clean. Gorgeous art pieces exhibitions around the property. The pool was fascinating in form and kept quite clean, its a pity we couldnt use it after 5:30pm but we understood it was for cleaning purposes. Great view of the ocean, with close proximity to nearby small islands . We enjoyed several adventures through the ocean to the islands by foot when the tide was low (turtle island and love island). The air conditioner and fan worked well. We didnt test the Wi-Fi because we barely had time to go online, but there was a router in the room. The showers were great with good pressure. We were pleased to find a bidet toilet shower and and bidet bowl next to it. Being Gluten free in my diet I was quite pleased that there was a variety of foods to choose from for breakfast (we had a bed and breakfast package) We didnt try the food menu because we preferred to wander out into the nearby town to discover new foods. The hotel manager was very friendly and was always there to welcome guests and find out how they were doing. The general staff were very polite and the bar tender was a star ( try the cocktails, they are great). Transport was easily available anytime of the night (motorbikes). It felt very safe and we could walk late at night in and out of the hotel to the road, then take a two minute motorbike to the town to discover local restaurants. Night time is beautiful and you can sit on the beach beds and enjoy drinks till late as the Maasai guards patrol the compound. Its definitely an ideal hotel for a romantic couple getaway. I highly recommend it for couples looking for fun, ambience and quality

A gem in Watamu

Everything was amazing at Visiwa. A sweet, intimate space with the beach right in front of the property. The restaurant serves delicious food and the staff all superb.

Overall, this place is a dream. It was quiet, clean, scenic, and the staff was wonderful. My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay and waking up to the view of the ocean was spectacular.

My only feedback relates to the food. As someone who is gluten free and allergic to shellfish, I had a hard time finding food that I could eat - both hear and throughout Watamu. I would go back again because the area is so beautiful, but it would be great if there could be more gf options.

Happiest Client

Visiwa is absolutely amazing!! The views from the room and from the deck by the beachfront and sun beds is breath taking. The food was amazing! The staff were all so helpful! The manager upgraded me to a room with a view and I really appreciated it because I love the ocean and it calms me. Thank you all for a wonderful stay, I can't wait to return!
