GK Palms - 2 Bedroom Apartment
We had a wonderful experience at Geoffrey's Airbnb. The location is perfect-centrally situated, making it incredibly easy to access all the places we planned to visit in Watamu. Check-in was a breeze, and Geoffrey was an excellent host, always avallable to help and quick to respond to any questions we had. The added perks of the on-site restaurant and pool made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend staying here for a relaxed and convenient trip!

Watamu Sunrise Villa and Bungalow
This was our second stay at this lovely spot in Watamu. Beautiful garden, pool and chill-out area. This is really great for groups and just a short walk away from the ocean, where there are a lot of restaurants and beach bars. But Thomas the chef is also amazing - we had so many delicious seafood and meat dishes throughout our stay. Couldn’t recommend enough!
