We arrived January & left in February 2024, for yet another repeat visit. Fantastic place, staff friendly, food great. Joseph keeps F&B staff on their toes, Jonathan and Kevin on reception are always fantastic and really helpful. Cannot wait to see photos of the planned refurb when completed.

Yet another fantastic enjoyable repeat visit, home from home. Roll on 2025 for another visit to this great place.

My wife and I adore this delightful hotel!  The location is wonderful, the staff are excellent and the food is superb.  Cosy, comfortable rooms set around lovely gardens with easy access to the glorious beach - and excellent value, too.  What more could you anyone ask for.  Our sincere, warmest regards to Wycliffe and super team in the dining room, and Juma by the pool - as well as  Joachim and the great reception staff who are always so helpful and responsive - including accommodating our last-minute request to stay an extra day.

A delightful hotel with excellent staff and delicious food in a super location!

We stayed for a week in the ocean view room. Absolutely beautiful hotel, one of the most beautiful I have ever stayed in. Immediately on the beach with a beautiful sunset. Arriving to a coconut water drink and breakfast was a lovely touch.

Our room was beautiful. Air con and mosquito net was very good. Room cleaned every day with fresh bed sheets and linen. Worth paying for an ocean view room if you can.

The food was amazing throughout the week. You could choose from a range of fresh meat/seafood/veggie dishes but also fresh sushi and poke bowls. All top quality food. Menu changed every day so never got bored.

Lots of places to sit and relax. Two pools with lots of sun beds and space. Very quiet throughout the resort. It is a slightly more ‘chilled out’ resort than some of the neighbouring hotels which we absolutely loved. You met lots of people and was very sociable. If you’re into sport, they are happy to show anything you want on the TVs (premier league/six nations etc etc).

Staff overall very friendly and welcoming, happy to help with reservations/recommendations/taxis. Service generally very good and attentive.

Only negative - getting a reservation for dinner at a good table spot could be difficult as often the table would be reserved for the whole evening meaning you may not be able to sit at a good spot. We often wanted to eat at 6pm and would be told we had to sit at the back of the restaurant with no sea view (despite the fact the sea view tables weren’t occupied until 8pm if not later). However I suppose you could reserve a table you wanted earlier and be a bit more organised.

Overall do not HESITATE to stay here. The pictures do not do this place justice. We had the trip of a lifetime.

Amazing one week stay

I know this resort for many many years. For sure the resort is better now than it was 15 years ago. Super friendly and super helpful staff in the bar, pool area, pizza place and the restaurant. The room service is very creative. See photos.
Unfortunately, the Management could care more about the upkeep of the resort and clients wishes. We were a group of 14 people, staying for 7 days. One would appreciate a bit of variety for breakfast. 
However, if you like to learn scuba diving or you are already a diver, then enjoy the great and friendly Scuba diving team.

Mixed feelings

I could not think of anywhere better to spend a weeks break, we have had a lovely stay in fabulous surroundings and have been looked after magnificently by the staff and management. 
A lovely swimming pool, air conditioned bedrooms, great and varied selection of food and drink, from facilities that seem to be open all day, early morning tea delivered to the bedrooms and perfect breakfasts.
Just delightful.

Fabulous weeks break

I went fishing with friends for a week in Watamu and we stayed at the beach house of Ocean Sports. It is a fantastic hotel with character! I look forward to going back next February! The bar/restaurant is excellent and they prepared dinner for us from the fish we caught. Also, next day’s lunch was prepared for us to take on the boat.

Great hotel for fishermen

Went for drinks and a bite. The service was appallingly bad. In the end no food was ordered because no waiter came back to us. The last glass of wine we went to order from the bar and it took 10 minutes to be brought. 

Bad service

a fun scene for expats. Great place to watch soccer - watched many world cup games there and enjoyed !
enjoyed the poke bowl and the pizza- fair prices offered 
this is watamu's answer to the local pub 

good place to watch sports!

This is the first time staying here. Great overall. We got some rooms that could do with upgrading but they were adequate enough. Great air-conditioning, to the point of being too cold ! The food was very good although during peak periods the quality slides a bit. They was confusion if you could reserve a table for the Sunday curry or not. Best advice is to eat early as it's busy with locals.

There is only WiFi in the reception area, apparently you can buy packages but we were not aware of this. There should be coverage throughout like other hotels., Although nice to be off grid but others might not like this option.
The staff were fantastic. They could not have been more helpful at all. To make not a few , Wcliffe and his team in the dining room and Daniel doing the rooms, superb, thankyou. 

Very relaxing 

I was BEYOND disappointed with OS this year. I have been going for years and this year I had friends out from Australia and we didn't even end up going to the NYE party. We finished dinner at 9.30pm...rocked up to OS and were told we wouldnt be allowed in until 11pm!??? Who pays 4000kshs for a ticket + potential corkage fee to wait outside until 11pm!?

I reserved tickets in advance and nowhere did it mention (on line or verbally) that the party started at 11pm. Absolutely ridiculous...we weren't even allowed in to buy a drink at the bar because everyone was still having dinner. What a joke.

I was so angry. I asked to speak to the manager Florian but was told by the guards (one called Albert) that he was too busy to see me. Oh and this so called bouncer/guard proceeded to flip me off and laugh at my face. How rude. OS NY has definitely lost its vibes..full of kids and rude staff. I have purposely boy-cotted it this holiday after that experience. I ended up somewhere else for NYE as was so irritated by how we were treated. 

I never usually write reviews but wow...I'm still reeling from how we were treated as customers. OS you need sort out your customer service. Every customer is important and should be treated as such.
