The hotel is located on what in my opinion is the most beautiful beach in Kenya, and very little would be enough to make this place unforgettable. The structure is objectively old, well-kept, but old. The room I was assigned had a strong musty smell, and I often found ants. Considering the price, I would have expected greater variety of food, breakfast always the same, lunch and dinner with dishes that are often repeated and this over a period of 10 days can lead to boredom. Having said that, the staff at the property are fantastic, waiters, chefs and entertainers are really nice. So to conclude it is a hotel that I promote but with many reservations, because I expect more from a 4 star hotel. I hope to return and find improvements 🤞

Great place with one & storey chalets With nice room space and ensuite washroom, toilet & shower… Great pumped shower with plenty hot water… Staff are friendly and helpful to make stay enjoyable… Entertainment team vary the evening entertainment each day… Buffet is good but not the best. The al a carte menu has good alternatives… Good access to beach & place a clean & tidy… Dining area large with good views of beach/Ocean… They have a weekend party into early morning “Summertime Festival” once a year at this time… A great experience of how the Gen Z like to enjoy/rave… A fabulous week stay at a reasonable price to other similar hotels along the stretch…

Excellent location right next to the beach. Beautiful palm trees. Lamu style high beds. Clean room. Friendly staff. Dull cyclic menu. Would be nice to have a la carte on offer. (Its always lovely for us to have a variety/choice and be served and consequently pay for it as well as appreciate the server. Nothing to write home about. Service and facility felt undistinguished for the price paid and the star rating of the establishment. However not regrettable. I would recommend for families and group vacationers.

RESORT SPETTACOLARE. Abbiamo soggiornato per dieci giorni, cibo eccellente, staff cordiale e sempre presente per ogni problema o dubbi vi accolgono come se foste una famiglia! La camera ogni giorno viene pulita insieme a biancheria e asciugamani. Niente da dire se non che è il migliore resort a Watamu. Super consigliato!!!

Amazing. First of all resort is very well designed and its remarkable architecture make it a luxury but at the same time characteristic one, due to the intelligent respect of African and local "genius loci". Room was very spacious and I did appreciate materials and finishing, making it comfortable, but at the same time rustic, looking very "local" but not in a kitschy way. Luxury resorts are sometimes kitsch, but that doesn't happen at Jacaranda, on the contrary giving the best example of compromise between luxury, comfort and tradition. Cuisine was excellent, with plenty of international, African and Italian choices and a very good Kenyan/Italian fusion experiment. Pastas, fish, meat, fruit, salads, dressings, everything was tasty and safe. Just desserts weren't anything special, I'd suggest to introduce some Italian traditional ice-cream. Staff was prompt and nice, all our requests have been completely satisfied. Place is great, daydream beach and fascinating excursions (never miss the safari!) within a few hours range. Must go!

Beautiful resort, right on the sea. Great staff, nice rooms. Clean. Good swimming pool. Totally inadequate internet. No Internet in rooms or reception. Only a slow to useless line near the bar. Forget work or downloading software. Access road of about 3km is a rocky disgrace. Each excursion out suffers time lost and discomfort. The actual public beach, beyond the resort limit, is populated by intimidating rip off merchants "Beach Boys". Sea swimming doesn't happen much due to this.

I had a bad experience at Jacaranda hotel. I booked the hotel from 16th Feb to 19th Feb but on arrival was faced by rude reception and kept waiting for one hour. I had to change hotels as they retained USD 200 from my booking. I would not recommend any stay. Winstone.
