It was our second stay at Hemingways Watamu. The rooms are big, bright and perfect for a beach holiday. There are two pools, a bar and two restaurants. The main restaurant has a fantastic a la carte menu but their half board evening menu has deteriorated significantly. It was pretty basic some evenings with very little choice especially if one didn't want pasta or pork. Their second little restaurant which was meant to serve authentic tapas served deplorable, fast food style food. We ate there once and didn't return. Hemingways ran out of aperol and a number of wines while we were there, and they didn't seem to stock up again even though the next door hotels were able to stock up after the weekend. There is a lovely gym and a spa. The beach is amazing. One can walk for miles and one is not harassed by sellers. The dhow trip in the mangroves was brilliant, and very beautiful. I would highly recommend it. There is also wonderful snorkeling literally metres from the hotel. The staff are absolutely lovely! Warm, helpful, kind and accomodating! One can walk to a few other hotels for meals or cocktails, and also to a new small shopping mall with a supermarket and gelateria. I love the area and Hemingways Watamu is probably the nicest hotel there, but unfortunately the evening meals have definitely slipped since our previous visit.
