I will definitely revisit

The hotel is amazing, very clean and the staff are friendly and provide quality service. One thing that was not very good was the food prices. Lunch and dinner as well as drinks cost a lot and often not quite adequate to quality. However, I did recommend the hotel to friends already :-)

Madina Palms was simply outstanding from the time we checked in all the way through to check out. Our experience at this hotel was flawless. A special shout out to the entire team who work so hard to make the dream happen. We will visit again whenever we find ourselves in beautiful Watamu. Highly recommended.

Amazing

What an amazing stay we have had. Literally everyone so friendly, warm, welcoming & polite. Beach bar setting gorgeous shame it doesn’t have a later closing time because we preferred it to the main building bar. Food plentiful & delicious. Sophia was our main person to look after us! Great service from all team Medina Palms, congratulations.

Erinomainen, eksklusiivinen paikka

Palvelu pelaa hienosti ja ystävällistä henkilökuntaa riittää. Avarat huoneistot ja useita mahdollisuuksia rentoutumiseen. Hotellilla ei sallita "äänekästä" elämää (musiikkikaiuttimet yms) mm. altailla. Hyvä aamupala.
