Situated in Watamu, a few steps from Merry Crab Cove Beach, The Mida Creek Hotel features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. Featuring a restaurant, the property also has a private beach area and a terrace. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared lounge and free WiFi throughout the property. Our experience at Mida Creek was wonderful. The staff were incredibly friendly and hospitable, always willing to assist with a smile. The food was delicious, and while the breakfast was well-prepared and nicely presented, adding more variety would take it to the next level. Utaratibu at its finest! For those looking to combine exercise with relaxation, my friends highly recommend trying kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It’s a great way to unwind while staying active. The ambience and serenity of the place is truly therapeutic. The beach is quiet and private, offering a peaceful retreat. We also suggest taking a walk to the long beach —it’s a beautiful experience. You can catch a sunrise. We would definitely recommend this place and we are already looking forward to our next visit.

Located in Watamu, on the South East coast of Kenya, Ocean Sports Resort offers views of the Indian Ocean. This beachfront resort features an outdoor swimming pool, restaurant and bar.

Ocean Sports Resort restaurant serves fresh seafood and locally grown fruit and vegetables with an influence of French cuisine. It also offers wood-fire pizzas and homemade bread and croissants. Guests can unwind at Ian’s Bar and enjoy a cocktail. Lunch and special meals are available upon request. The place was incredibly spacious, spotless, and comfortable. While there are some older cottages on the property, I was lucky to stay in one of the newer ones — and it was absolutely beautiful. Thoughtfully designed, modern, and serene — it felt like the perfect blend of charm and comfort.
