Perfect place to stay if you are not looking for a noisy resort holiday stay. This is a place to relax. Staff was always ready with a smile to help you with all your needs. Structure is new, rooms are big and very clean. It is close to the beach and swimming pool was great after a day outside. We used the personal chef and I can assure you top service. I would surely recommend it.

We were planning to stay in Watamu for circa a week and had already another accommodation. Unfortunately that accommodation did not meet our expectations and we booked last minute Mida Creek Hotel. The staff was already by the last minute booking extremely helpful and friendly. During our stay we felt very welcomed. The food was prepared with care. The menu provides nice different choices and everything is fresh and prepared on the spot for you. A special attention deserve the tuna fillet and the freshly pressed juces. The place is spotless, everything is very clean and well taken cared of. You can even spend days not leaving the hotel and relax there because there is everything you need. It is located in a peaceful part of watamu and it is very easy to reach downtown watamu. What we also found very special is that the Hotel works in a very environmentally friendly way. No single plastic items are used and the staff comes from the local community. We highly recommend it!

I had such a lovely stay! Sophia was incredibly warm, kind, and responsive from the moment I booked. She made me feel truly welcomed and at home. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests. Highly recommend her as a host! The room was clean, cozy, and exactly as pictured, peaceful, with a beautiful breeze and great lighting. I slept so well and felt safe throughout my stay.

    I liked the house and the staff. (Franklin and Rogers) There was an Internet connection full time. It was a serene environment. Very good and clean swimming pool. It is a great place for family vacation.

    Julie & her team were most attentive, welcoming and accomodating to our requests and questions and made our stay wonderful. It is definitely a kid friendly place where one can relax reading a book and kids can play, particularly during the warmest hours of the day. The breakfast is rich, the room spacious and it is only a 300/400 KES tuktuk ride away from the nearest beach. Great value for money and friendly atmosphere!
