"I recently stayed with my family at Manasha apartments and I was thoroughly impressed with my experience. The apartment proximity to the beach was a definite highlight, allowing for easy access to the beautiful coastline. The rooms were not only clean but also spacious, providing a comfortable and relaxing environment throughout our stay. The manasha service was exemplary, with courteous and attentive staff who went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. Additionally, the amenities offered were excellent, further enhancing the overall experience. I highly recommend Manasha Apartments to anyone looking for a delightful beachside retre at."

Everything about Neverland was great! The facilities were top notch and the staff, Paola, Syria, and Chef Daniel were AMAZING! We were made to truly feel at home and they assisted with anything we needed. The pool is wonderful, we lost track of time playing in it. It is so easy to spend a whole day there. We miss it so much. We will definitely visit again!

Fortamu - Tembo House is an amazing Kenyan coast experience. The round forts on the white beach surrounded by palm trees are a sight to behold. The apartment is spacious, open and breezy, with lots of places to lounge in style. Ziro, the house chef and butler, took our stay to the next level with his wonderful cooking, kind help and big smile. The place has a private beach with sunbeds and three pools. The view of the coastline and the islands dotting it are amazing. All main sights (Turtle Watch, Snake Farm, Mida Creek) and restaurants/bars (Ocean Sports!) can be reached by affordable tuktuk in minutes (Saidi was our driver). Watamu feels like a very safe and laid-back place full of friendly people. Our family will remember it fondly.

Watamu Shell House is a real gem. We stayed there over an extended weekend and our kids (4 & 6) loved the place. The accommodation is superb, and the chef and the house-help were simply fabulous. They cooked some of the most delicious Italian meals, which we really enjoyed. Helga the host is very accommodating and tried her best to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The beach is just 50 meters from the apartment and the two private pools are stunning. The property has small private beach, which was ideal for our kids as they played for hours in the sand. The apartment is 4-5 km away from the centre and can be accessed by Tuk-Tuk at a reasonable price (ksh 500/trip). It is a great place for young family and couples who want to have a quiet, relaxed holiday.

Located in Watamu, 6.9 km from Watamu National Marine Park, Watamu Solana Apartments provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, and free WiFi.

Providing a patio and pool views, each of the Studio Apartments include a satellite flat-screen TV, an equipped kitchenette, and 1 bathroom with a bidet and a shower.

Solana Apartments is in the heart of authentic Kenya in Watamu and is just exceptional. We will definitely be going back next year if we can make a reservation as it is already booking up fast. Kathryn and the staff team made sure from the minute we arrived to the minute we left that we had everything we needed and organized us with a regular Tuk Tuk driver and taxi driver to get to the airport. Kathryn and our Tuk Tuk driver, Omar also made great recommendations for things to do and places to visit whilst in Watamu. Our apartment was just perfect, we visit Africa regularly (first time to Kenya) and this is the best accomodation we have stayed in. Authentically Kenyan in decor and furnishings. The bathroom was rustic and traditional African and immaculate. It was 32° on average during our stay so the air conditioning in both bedrooms and the fans in all the rooms were much needed and kept the apartment perfectly cool. The kitchen had everything needed and it was great to be able to do a combination of self catering and eating.out. The staff are the best thing about Solana Apartments. Everyone was so welcoming even taking the time to teach us some Swahili and were so appreciative when we tried to learn. Breakfast was included in the price and was lovely. After the first day, as part of our. Breakfast experience the staff cooked traditional Swahili breakfast items for us to try which were all delicious and then we chose this every day. The breakfast was ample and really set you up for the day. Our apartment was cleaned daily, again to an exceptional standard. Although an apartment there were staff there all day and a security guard at night. We felt safe at all times and the staff all went out of their way to help in any way they could.
