非常漂亮的海邊酒店，一對意大利老夫婦經營管理，落潮時在海邊徒步趕海感覺非常不錯

We stayed at the Lonno for three nights during the off season and we practically had the place to ourselves. Everyone at the Lonno was friendly and helpful from the owner to the servers. The food was great. The accommodations were comfortable. The Lonno sits right at the water's edge with steps that lead to the ocean. It's an absolutely beautiful location.

We stayed with our family at Lonno Lodge and had the most relaxing week! The owners are very welcoming and great hosts! The staff is so friendly and the rooms are very clean and so comfortable. The experience is luxurious in every way and they made us feel at home. The location is also perfect and we were able to take their electrical bikes to the center to eat ice cream. I would recommend anyone to book your holiday here!

I loved my stay at Lonno. The entire team is very friendly and professional. From the on time airport transfers to the hotel team, everyone made me feel welcome and safe. Silvia, Grace, Rajab and everyone were just amazing and treated me like a long lost friend. The rooms are beautiful and the food is pretty good! The entire property is marvellous and they have 2 stunning dogs that are friendly and gentle. I really enjoyed my time there and would have definitely extended it had there been an available room.

Our stay at the hotel was incredibly enjoyable. We felt comfortable under the care of Sylwia and Aldo, for which we sincerely thank them. They helped us organize our time and explore the surrounding attractions. The hotel is beautiful, situated on a cliff overlooking the ocean, with unique architecture using local materials. The pool is large. It recently opened a new spa.The food was delicious. This was our first time in Kenya and we traveled there with some concerns. The hotel has warm and friendly atmosphere that made us eager to return to The Charming Lonno Lodge. Iza

We visited Lonno for our honeymoon and can’t recommend it enough, it was absolutely outstanding! Silvia and Addo were so welcoming and each member of staff we encountered was unbelievably polite, attentive and just genuinely lovely. We felt enormously looked after by everyone and the personality and warmth that they brought really made our experience everything we could have hoped for and so much more. Lonno genuinely felt like home during the time we stayed there, and it’s very hard to put into words how special it is. Our trip was one we’ll treasure forever, and we couldn’t be more grateful to the whole team. A special shout to the housekeeping team for their exceptionally high standards and the hospitality team for making us feel so looked after, meal times were our favourite in particular and we have such fond memories of them. If you are thinking about Lonno - you simply must come and experience it for yourself, theres nowhere else quite like it!

The Charming Lonno Lodge is a true gem! I had a wonderful 'me time' there, thanks to the incredible hospitality of Silvia and Aldo and their exceptionally friendly staff. The entire lodge is sparkling clean. A huge thank you to Silvia for the upgrade and to Nickson for a memorable beach walk. Everything was beautiful, from the amazing massage to the great food. I absolutely recommend this fantastic place!

We chose Lonno Lodge after seeing its more than 600 five-star reviews, as we were looking for a serene and peaceful place to unwind. We booked five nights, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. The service was impeccable, the food was fresh and delicious, and Silvia and Aldo, the gracious owners, went above and beyond to assist with anything we needed. They suggested excellent activities in the Watamu area, made all the necessary reservations on our behalf, and even arranged transportation. Their staff were equally outstanding—always warm, pleasant, and eager to help. During our stay, we enjoyed a full-day dhow excursion that ended with a breathtaking sunset, indulged in soothing massages, and spent the rest of the time on what they jokingly called their “do-nothing tour”: lounging by the pool and soaking in the exceptional service. The rooms are beautiful, with stunning views of the Indian Ocean, and we cannot wait to return to experience their remarkable hospitality once again. For anyone planning a stay, don’t miss the top-tower and signature suites—they are truly special!
