    exquisite cuisine
    lush gardens
    fantastic pools
    weird check-in
    costly arrangements

    Feasted on exquisite Chinese dishes that danced with flavors! The lush gardens and fantastic pools made every moment a delight.

    Check-in felt a bit off, waiting for a cab to take us to our suite. We should’ve booked one big apartment to save some dough!

    well-kept garden
    great staff
    musty room
    quiet vibe

    Had a great time overall, but my room was a bit musty on arrival, and the empty vibe was noticeable. The gardens and pools are top-notch, though!

    beach clutter

    Beautiful pools, great food, and super attentive staff made our stay amazing. Just a heads up, the beach was a bit cluttered with seaweed, but it didn’t ruin our fun at all!

    beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

    I was absolutely captivated by the beautiful, spacious One-Bedroom Suite featuring a fully equipped kitchen and stunning views. The infinity pool and lush gardens provided a serene atmosphere to unwind after a day of exploration. Breakfast was a delightful experience, with a good selection including delicious omelettes and pancakes.

    minor inconvenience

    I had an enchanting stay at Medina Palms, with incredibly friendly staff ensuring every detail was attended to. The exquisite food at Amandina restaurant, especially the fresh seafood and daily specials, truly delighted my palate. The stunning beachfront views and beautiful pools added to the luxurious relaxation.

    Minor plumbing issues.

    villa-style convenience

    Family getaway worth considering

    The villa-style setup was a real lifesaver for us. Having a kitchen to clean bottles for the baby and separate living spaces kept everything chill. And the beach restaurant? Amazing pizza!

    Not exactly a budget-friendly place, but still acceptable for what you get.

    spacious villa
    attentive staff
    infinity pool
    family activities

    We enjoyed staying in a spacious Three-Bedroom Villa, perfect for our family dynamics. The staff went out of their way to make our visit special, and the infinity pool was a massive hit with everyone. The club's soft play structures kept the younger ones engaged while we relaxed.

    In my wife’s opinion, more family activities would be great.

    beachfront views
    local dining

    central oasis near stunning beaches and vibrant local spots

    Staying at this hotel was a delight, as we found ourselves just a short walk from the beautiful Watamu Beach and a few steps away from local dining gems like Happy Days Bar & Restaurant. the combination of stunning beachfront views and the lush gardens created the perfect backdrop for our weekend jaunts around the area.

    would like to go back here again

    We stayed in a lovely One-Bedroom Suite with air conditioning and a private bathroom. The kitchen was fully equipped with a fridge, microwave, and kettle. We loved the garden and swimming pools, and enjoyed dinners with nice sea views. The staff were awesome and super helpful.
