Absolutely fantastic hotel in Watamu. Rooms large and clean, with all the necessary facilities for a comfy and relaxed stay. The garden, pool and private beach are stunning, the restaurant serves very good Italian food and the staff super kind and always smiling. It was a last minute booking due to a problem me and my family had with another accommodation, but Gisella and her staff did everything they could to help us and ensure we could enjoy our stay. It was a pleasure to stay at Visiwa and we will be back for sure!

Liked this place, very friendly staff and right on the beach. Comfortable rooms and the Italian ownership is reflected in the excellent ( and filling) pizzas and food at lunch and dinner. Slightly disappointing breakfasts I felt with lots of pastries but the Spanish omelettes were good. The only irritating point was the dreadful “lift” music played throughout the lovely garden area where you were blasted by bass sound without any idea of what the song was. Staff were happy to turn it down but I have no idea why they would play music is such an idyllic spot?

The best property in Watamu. We went everywhere looking for a hotel that offerred a comfortable stay, and Visiwa was the only one that had everything we needed. Beachfront, safe with security staff abound, fantastic ocean views from the room, excellent restaurant, all very clean, powerful hot shower, plenty of room, good amenieties, great trip organizing, fabulous surroundings, and incredible Gisela that never seems to sleep and always found time to make our stay as luxurious as possible!

Beautiful hotel and ambiance. We were very disappointed in the behaviour towards us by the owner. We went there for lunch and have 3 kids, we were immediately told that the kids were not allowed to sit on any of the pool or beach beds and that if they kids wanted to play on the beach they must go away from the property so the guests don't get disturbed. As a hotel and a family restaurant surely you should be kid friendly.

Absolutely Fabulous. Everything delivered! We came off of two weeks of rough safari in much need of R & R. We definitely picked the right place! The food, coffee, drinks, and service were exceptional. The ambiance and views of the seven isles from the open air dining, and pool area, room, and balcony were nothing short of stunning. Visiwa never missed a beat when it came to details.

Visiwa is a nice and pretty resort right on the beach with astonishing ocean views rooms and an excellent Italian restaurant which is probably one of the best around here. Service is very personal and accurate. We stayed for 3 nights, but I imagine spend a week without any problems.

Lovely hotel. We stayed here with a couple of friends for a couple of nights. The rooms were very clean. It was scorching hot, but the AC in the room worked well. The staff incl. management were verynice and helpful. We ate at the restaurant multiple times and the food was good. Good spot by the beach.
