Medina Palms

The best thing that the Kenyan coast has to offer. Beutiful setting and great food.

Extremely good and efficient booking through email. Upon arrival, the check in was swift and easy. The apartment was beautiful, beyond our expectation. Everything was working well, the amazing showers, hot water, jacuzzi, fridge amenities, air conditioning. The hotel met all our needs with a variety of swimming pools, great food and beverages, fitness studio and beach. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to be back.

Fantastic location, suggested for a couple, professional staff, warming atmosphere, a special thank to Bosco who cared about the cleanliness of our room with passion and professionalism and also a bit of artistic gifts; very good Amandina restaurant, a special thank to Vivian who cared about us in, she made the difference with her professionalism, efficiency, smile and good tips. All the medina staff has been really efficient helpful charming and professional from the first minute to the last one, respecting anyhow our privacy and holiday. Highly recommend resort, we will come back hopefully soon.

Amazing hotel. Great food and customer service. Really nice apartment with large bedrooms and great showers. The pools all along the village were just amazing. The gym and personal trainer are definitely giving the hotel an extra edge.Big thank you to George and Mike for their service and dedication

Wonderful vacation, the staff here have been extremely welcoming and obliging. We spent our lunchtimes at the Ngalawa Beach Bar where Risper Wanjiku was an absolute treasure. She got to know our needs and consistently cared for us and our children - no request was too small! Thank you very much Risper and the rest of the fantastic team.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Medina Palms for our wedding anniversary trip. We went with our two-year-old and it was perfect for a family trip. The staff were really kind, especially Rama by the beach who made sure we had the perfect beds overlooking the ocean where our toddler could play all day long. He brought him extra sand toys and really looked out for him which we appreciated. Because it was low season and it was our anniversary the hotel was able to upgrade us to a penthouse which was so kind of them. The penthouses are so beautiful with two bedrooms, a fully functional kitchen, two dining areas, an upstairs living room and plunge pool. We were spoilt in terms of space. The decor is lovely and has a real coastal feel. There are three pools to choose from all connected by longer smaller 'pools' which are shallow hence great for kids to splash about in. The food was great and the location directly on the beach was really nice. July is seaweed season which meant there was A LOT of seaweed on the beach/ in the ocean...but it didn't bother us much. There were just some minor maintenance issues like the safe and phone not working in our room but was we were only there for 3 nights we were not bothered. Would definitely recommend this lovely place!

Really great hotel and property. Wonderful staff they really go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Good food and service. I wish they would propose more activities - water activities and other fun activities for families, but other than that everything else was top notch. A bit of a wait for dinner to be prepared though.

One of my best holidays ever .... From the rooms , food , ambience, service team . Everything was amazing .... The pools also are very clean and nice Vivian in the service team is super jovial and handled us to perfection ...thank you and i will always come again

The reception and staff were very friendly, we checked into neatly done rooms with the assistance of the warm staff. I loved the my hotel stay and the experience in Watamu. The orientation was professional and comprehensive. Top choice of hotel when thinking about Watamu.
