What Guests Say About Their Stay

This was the most magical vacation and guesthouse that we have ever stayed at! The facilities are gorgeous and the staff is so sweet and accommodating (and always available) and we LOVED the big and beautiful pool. I think floating around in the water at night with the palm trees swaying above me was the most magical experience I have ever had. The hotel has wonderful gardens and is situated on a beautiful beach! Concerning the bad reviews- the guesthouse is located in a small town in East Africa and costs under $100 a night for an exotic beachfront guesthouse, I really don't understand why people expect the hotel to be a 5 star resort in California (you want that, you need to expect to pay for it). That means that power is going to go off every now and then (they ALWAYS got it to come back reasonably quickly!), the food is going to be African and take a little while because everything is fresh and often made to order and there may be a few bugs (though we never saw ANY! they were always cleaning and we found everything to be exceptionally clean) I have been a social worker in East Africa for 16 years, and I can say the food is going to be a transition for anyone arriving in the country- it isn't hygiene related, it is just going to be rough for some people who are coming into a new continent with different bacteria. Whenever we host teams, even for the teams that choose to ONLY eat at nice guesthouses and snacks that they brought, people will always get sick.

Sun Palm beach is really a great place to stay. As is Watamu! All staff were very (child)friendly. Only remarks would be the limited choice of food (non Italian alternatives were on the menu but not available during ou stay).

We stayed at the Sun Palm for 3 nights as a family of 5. The staff were very welcoming and showed us around the resort and were very accommodating with our needs. The resort is set on a fantastic beach with clear water and an abundance of interesting island/coves to discover. The room was excellent, spacious and clean. The buffet food was good with plenty of options, including pancakes for breakfast and pasta station for dinner, which kept our kids happy. The restaurant on site was also excellent for choice. The hotel catered for their Italian guests but as English speakers we were not left out and every effort was made to ensure we were involved especially during the evening shows. Would return again for another fully enjoyable holiday.

This property is not as shown on the website. It was a shabby room with black mold showing on the walls of the facility and in the outflow pipe to the AC. The bathroom is a mess, cracked vanity cracked and dirty molding on shower floor soiled by age tile floor. The room AC shut on and off many times during the hot tropic nights. The food started fine but later brought the gift of travelers disease (diarhea). This is not a 4 star hotel. The beach was 4 star. Who rates these resorts anyway? This was a most distressing stay after a 21hour flight. Expedia you should be ashamed and embarassed to represeent this resort.

Hotel very much. late check out until 16.00 cost $ 40. bedding and towels changed daily. English speaking staff. the food in the general restaurant is of good quality, but a small cockroach crawled along one of the salads. The à la carte restaurant on the menu offers Japanese, Italian and Swahili dishes. we chose Japanese and were shocked. instead of miso soup, we were served warm water with soy and instant noodles from the bag. Tempuri were edible, instead of sushi, we were served 3-4 kinds of rolls with a minimum amount of fish. The chief of restaurants Mario apologized for our remarks and wishes and gave us a 10% discount for which he thanks. very much straining beach boys on the beach, do not lag behind you for anything. the job of protecting the beach is only to prevent the beach boys from entering the beach area of ​​the hotel, but they manage to impose their goods and services from there. but this is a problem of hotels all over the coast. in general, the hotel and its location is quite decent.

A very warm welcoming from management and staff. The rooms are beautiful and the views are even better. Very close to other restaurants ands resorts. Tuktuks or motorbikes are the mode of transportation just walk to the front gate and hop on! Highly recommended.

Booked a deluxe apartment with seaview. However, as it turned out the apartment was not an apartment, but a room in a house with a shared livingroom. Seaview was no -existent from the room.

L'établissement se veut luxueux mais la base n'y est pas. La sute etait tres sombre, sans terrasse, et les rideaux sont tellemznt fin quavec les lumieres allumées tout le monde vous voit dans votre lit... Beaucoup de coupures d'eau et d'électricité. Pas d'eau chaude. La wifi n'est pas dans toutes les chambres. L'hôtel ne dispose pas de restaurant.

Struttura pessima e truffa!!! All'arrivo la prenotazione non c'era. Dopo aver contattato il servizio clienti, sono comparse le camere e ci è stato detto che era tutto a posto. Purtroppo non è stato così. Nelle camere non ha funzionato per giorni l'aria condizionata (nonostante diversi solleciti per sistemarla), l'acqua calda non è mai pervenuta. TUTTE le sere andava via la corrente e così non funzionava la pompa che tira acqua: non ci si lava . I ragazzi alla reception (senza uniforme, targhette di identificazione o altro) sono completamente spaesati e incapaci di dare una risposta concreta alle richieste di risolvere i problemi. La colazione altro tasto dolente: scarsa e di qualità pessima, con la sala sporca, l'omelette cotta su un fornello che dire incrostato è poco, e con gli ingredienti da poter aggiungere piazzati su un piatto tutti insieme alla rinfusa. La mancanza di organizzazione e di una gestione competente del luogo, evidentemente maltenuto, è lampante a questo punto. Il peggio si raggiunge dopo 4 giorni: ci dicono che non hanno ricevuto il pagamento delle stanze perchè gli account dell'hotel sono stati creati da un manager che non lavora più per loro da 5 anni e quindi non riescono ad accedere a prenotazioni e pagamenti. In modo estremamente arrogante e strafottente ci viene richiesto di pagare nuovamente tutto, perchè loro non hanno colpe e non hanno intenzione di fare nulla. Chiesto rimborso e fuggiti in un'altra struttura. ALLA LARGA!!!!

Fantastic place and very good service. A lot of Italian tourists and the food served is typically Italian. We stayed at a lot of different places on our holiday and to spend 7-14 days at this place with only Italian food while in Kenya would not be ideal . The place is magnificent with nice and tidy rooms and comfortable beds. We spent New Years and had a wonderful dinner on the beach.

Struttura accogliente, in posizione vicina al centro di Watamu. Personale sempre gentile e sorridente. Ideale per trascorrere qualche giorno all’insegna del relax. Da migliorare: servizi igienici. Nota negativa a margine: prezzo troppo elevato per i pasti esclusi dalla tariffa all inclusive.

La struttura è ben curata, con una grande piscina e la spiaggia affaccia nella baia dell’isola dell’amore che si raggiunge a piedi con la bassa marea. Il cibo è buono e abbondante e ogni sera organizzano uno spettacolo, oltre al beach volley e l’acqua gym con personale molto disponibile.
