Horrible. Stay away from this hotel..Stayed for 2 dayz..Empty hotel, less variation in breakfast offer. Less welcoming staff, specially at the restaurant. Live Cockroaches on the food as we had a breakfast. Outdated and broken coffee kettle, Electricity went so water anf we were not able to shower.. Horrible experience. We went to breakfast and being told "no coffee due to lack of electricity power. the pool was good.. but the management is tired and see no future in this business, we think. ##### Dahir Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Kerry Apr 29, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### A little gem off the beaten path Mawe Resort is a great place if you want to get off the beaten path and do nothing but enjoy the beautiful Indian Ocean. It’s a bit isolated from town, but then then you’re generally going to come here to do nothing but relax. The service is very attentive, the ambiance is super and the food is decent. While it’s not on a beach, it’s right on the ocean which can be a easily and safely accessed through a stairway through a small cliff. Two areas for improvement would be to install more formidable air conditioning in the guest rooms and to arrange group transport to the airport for guests on the same flight. ##### Kerry Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 5, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities È un piccolo gioiello affacciato sul mare raccolto ed intimo ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Mar 13, 2019 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Nice design, small boutique hotel The "Sea View" Suites might be considered as "Sea Glimpse" The AC's in both Suites we occupied produced only noise but no cold air, forget the restaurant ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Ned Feb 15, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Facilities were very nice.

It is perched about 30feet up on a cliff. There is access to the water down some steps cut in the rock but this just takes you down to a rock ledge from which you can walk or wade a little way to the nice beach at low tide. You can also walk around on a road. Because it’s a little higher, often a nice cooling breeze. Friendly, helpful staff. Italian manager.. corrado? Was responsive..we asked for American coffee and next day he had a new coffee maker at breakfast...though he shook his head at any coffee that was not Italian espresso. Shout out to a good bar man Anthony who produced excellent margaritas. ##### joe Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### lele , milano Jan 14, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### mare, sole, safari.. rilassati sei in kenya ..:) ) Sono arrivato in Kenya per festeggiare il Capodanno con mia moglie e due figli di 19 e 16 anni . Quando arrivi sei ancora nei ritmi Italiani e credi che le cose siano uguali anche in Africa , ti aspetti risposte e servizi come in Italia .....ma in Kenia devi fare le cose piano, piano..quindi non ti agitare ma rilassati e goditi le vacanze . L'albergo è piccolo ma molto carino , pulito e ben gestito dal Direttore Corrado al quale puoi chiedere serenamente consiglio per risolvere ogni tua esigenza : safari ,escursioni , cene, piccole gite ecc... Il ristorante è semplice ma offre una buona cucina casalinga ( ricordati che sei in Africa ) Il personale dell'albergo è molto gentile , disponibile e non invadente, si meritano sicuramente la mancia . Molto interessante l'area relax e massaggi dove Peter è molto bravo . Il mare non è il massimo a causa delle maree , ma puoi farti accompagnare dai tuc-tuc ( tre ruote , ape scoperte ) nelle spiagge vicine ( temple beach ) . I beach boy in spiaggia sono abbastanza fastidiosi ma con 200 scellini ( 2 euro ) ti accompagnano senza farti disturbare da altri . Non comprate nessuna escursione meglio rivolgersi al vs albergo . La piscina dell'albergo è di acqua di mare e questo rende molto piacevole il bagno . Abbiamo fatto un magnifico safari nel Masai Mara organizzato dall' albergo presso il kichwa tembo uno spettacolo.....ma questa è un altra recensione .....:)) ##### lele Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Josh, Wisconsin, USA Jan 7, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Nice resort away from party crowds Enjoyed my vacation stay.

The owner, Stefano, was a big help when I was having a problem with my air ticket/reservation. The staff are extremely friendly & very helpful. Arriving early at the hotel was not a problem & we were given a room as soon as it was available & I was allowed to stay at the hotel until the afternoon as I had a late afternoon flight out of Malindi. The hotel does not have it's own beach but has a nice swimming pool area. Beaches do have a problem with locals trying to sell you things, so you are spared this ! Fully recommend it if you are looking for a small friendly hotel. ##### Robert ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 7, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Séjour relaxant avec vue à couper le souffle. Super séjour très relaxant. Le staff est particulièrement aimable. La décoration et l'ambiance de l'hôtel permettent de se relaxer tout en gardant un sentiment d'intimité grâce au faible nombre de chambre (12) et un agencement de la propriété bien étudié. Vue à couper le souffle. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Coriander, colorado Jul 9, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Relaxing, stylish resort on a cliff above the sea We stayed for our last 3 days of a month long trip through Ethiopia and Kenya. It was a treat for us to relax here after stimulating but often tiring travel. We were very pleased with our choice- great views, food, pool and especially the friendly, attentive staff. The resort is a short Boda ride from Watamu town. We rented bikes the first day but found them pretty low quality, and quite expensive for a rental. Next time I would bring my own bike to explore the area more. The resort is part of a complex that was developed by a visiting Italian, and the styling was really impressive. The whole place was very relaxing with a maritime theme. Great comfortable bar, fantastic breakfasts and other meals. The resort is on a cliff next to the shore, and there is a tunnel you can walk down to a small beach at low tide. Hot water was plentiful and reliable, air conditioning in the rooms was effective. Really a nice spot. A short note on traveling in Kenya - we'd heard safety warnings especially for the coast. We had no unusual safety concerns (beyond the obvious general considerations for traveling in Africa). Highlights for us included taking a reasonably priced kiteboarding lesson in town, and sunset over the mangrove in Mida Creek ##### Coriander ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Ohia Waikiki Studio Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Ohia-Waikiki-Studio-Suites.h11576323.Hotel-Information) > > [Motels Strathmore](https://www.expedia.ca/Strathmore-Motels.d177762-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Fairmont Mara Safari Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Fairmont-Mara-Safari-Club.h1544563.Hotel-Information) > > [Jamliz Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Mwingi-Hotels-JAMLIZ-HOTEL.h48214087.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabin Rentals Banff](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Cabins.d10550-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Samaná](https://www.expedia.ca/Samana-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6046772-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Family Hotels in British Columbia](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-British-Columbia-Family-Hotel.0-0-d11117-tFamilyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Ashnil Mara Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Ashnil-Mara-Camp.h12748836.Hotel-Information) > > [Kibo Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Amboseli-Hotels-Kibo-Safari-Camp.h14826564.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Fort St. John](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-St-John-Hotels.d57378.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Club Wyndham Bali Hai Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Princeville-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Bali-Hai-Villas.h1744108.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Edmonton-Edmonton-Hotels.0-n6057885-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [OUTRIGGER Waikiki Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-OUTRIGGER-Waikiki-Beach-Resort.h13791.Hotel-Information) > > [Wingate By Wyndham Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Wingate-By-Wyndham-Niagara-Falls.h10957200.Hotel-Information) > > [Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Amboseli-Hotels-Amboseli-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h978634.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Ruby Foo's](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Hotel-Ruby-Foos.h40674.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Montego Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/5Star-Montego-Bay-Hotels.s50-0-d180106.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Hotel-Victoria.h18960.Hotel-Information) > > [Salt Lick Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Taita-Hills-Hotels-Salt-Lick-Safari-Lodge.h1737570.Hotel-Information) > > [Royalton CHIC Cancun, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Royalton-CHIC-Suites-Cancun-Resort-Spa-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h24318436.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Edinburgh (EDI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/edi/calgary-to-edinburgh) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Panama City (ECP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ecp/toronto-to-panama-city) > > [Flights from Abbotsford (YXX) to Dieppe (YQM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxx/yqm/abbotsford-to-moncton) > > [Condor](https://www.expedia.ca/Condor-Flights.cDE.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Phnom Penh (PNH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/pnh/toronto-to-phnom-penh) ### Activities > [Things to do in Scottsdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Scottsdale.d9829.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Xcaret Eco Theme Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Xcaret-Eco-Theme-Park-Playa-del-Carmen.d6074370.Vacation-Attraction)
