Very good

Restaurant and food was the best part!

Really clean and new property. The hotel felt fresh, the saltwater pool was great. The food though, amazing ala carte menu and chef!

Incredibly remote. Limited boat options to go to a sand beach or bar (not enough time slots). Could not move off the property and go anywhere in Watamu town. Had an influx of day guests which took most of the pool chairs. And the staff asked for pool towel deposits $25, found that very odd as an overnight guest. Really not a place to stay to swim on the beach or be in watamu but relaxing for a secluded peaceful stay.

Amazing place, highly recommend for R&R

Absolutely stunning location and design, beautiful rooms and shared seating areas, lots of places to relax by the pool or in the private beach. Perfect place to unwind and relax. Staff were excellent, very friendly and attentive. Boat trip was great, we were the first boat at the dolphin site and saw so many of them, and the captain was flexible with spending more time where we wanted. Much better than the crowded boats from Watamu centre.. SUP board tour around the mangroves was also peaceful and secluded. They provide free boat ride to a cool bar Lichhaus across the creek if you want more of a crowd.

Like the movie "The Beach", but in Mida Creek!

How do I start to describe the best hotel experience I had. Arriving at Mida Creek Hotel was like entering a quite oasis. You enter a kind of community hidden among the mangroves and the jungles by the shore of the creek. You can draw parallels to the movie "the Beach", in the sense of serenity, reclusiveness and beauty. You can go to the hotel by boat, driven by captain of the hotel, a kind and professional boatsman and fisherman. He also does sunset flamingo tours which we took and were absolutely impressed by! Hotel is also reachable by taxi, which the hotel can organize for you, strongly recommended! The hotel is isolated (which is a strong point), you are not bothered by salespeople or crowded beaches like in Malindi or Diani beach, and you have the creek almost to yourself. Even if you develop cabin fever, the captain is always to boat you. Staying isolated at the hotel wont make you gastronomically bored either, as the hotel has managed to find the best chef on the Kenyan seaside! The menu has good varieties too, local food, burgers, pasta, seafood to name a few! It was one of the greatest food experiences we had in Kenya. Hotel quality is impeccable and is kept super clean and tidy by the greatest hotel staff we encountered anywhere in the world. From cleaners to the barmen to the pool boy, they all contributed to making our stay as great as possible. It felt like you were staying at a family run hotel, they were all so kind, caring and sincere. The hotel also has that very local vibe, you truly feel Kenyan culture there. And you live in nature, literarily! Greenery, animals and birds are plentiful. Amazonian I would say. Special thanks to David, for being such cool guy and also organizing such memorable kayaking trip through the mangroves. It might sound too good to be true, but it actually was. The hotel had something that no other hotel we have stayed at has had that feeling of arriving in a special place. Just like in The Beach.

After discussing any suggestions for improvement, we couldnt really advise anything other than making sure to keep the place as it is. Having any hotel in the environment like a jungle, creek or sea will take its toll in the long run. Working on keeping it impeccable is the only advise we could give. And also to introduce at least one more breakfast option, for a few days the current breakfast menu is good but after a couple of days more a variety would be nice.
