"AVOID, stay away! Firstly the location is wrong, 30 USD to get to the next town by taxi. The Road to the hotel is terrible, extremely bumpy. Beds are hard. This is not a four star hotel. Food is bad. Save your money, go somewhere else."

Hemingways Watamu

Hemingways Watamu

10/10 Excellent
"I would Recommend Hemingway hotel to everyone as must stay place. Third was not anything I could pick that wasn’t top class. The beach had a lot of seaweed but that is a natural issue not the hotels fault. I went out on the fishing charter and couldn’t a nice big sale fish. Do not go out if you are not tough!! The sea is choppy. The food and bar where especially great. ♥️ Loved every minute. 5 stars"
