My week at Ocean Sports was truly an unforgettable experience. The hotel had breathtaking views and was right on the beach, providing a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The food was varied and delicious throughout our stay, although I found the dining reservations to be a bit tricky. The service was warm and attentive, which really enhanced our visit. However, some areas of the beach were not in great shape during our stay, and it would have been helpful to have more information about available activities upon arrival.

My stay at Ocean Sports Resort was absolutely delightful. Being right next to the sea offered stunning blue views and the lush greenery around the resort added to the peaceful atmosphere. The breakfast was fantastic, and I particularly enjoyed the ambiance at the bar and restaurant. On the downside, the vibrant location might not suit everyone seeking complete tranquility, but I loved the lively vibe. Overall, it was great value for money, and I’d gladly return.

I had a great experience at the resort overall. The location is absolutely stunning with a beautiful view of the ocean, and the food was simply delicious.

Despite this, the amenities and the overall vibe of the place were enjoyable, making it a difficult situation to navigate.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is ideally located right on the beach in Watamu. The Bandas were clean and reasonably comfortable, though some could use a bit of upgrading. The food was fantastic, especially at breakfast, making it a delightful experience. The staff went above and beyond, helping with everything from reservations to loaning me a modem for Wi-Fi in my room. While there were some minor issues like the lack of Wi-Fi in the rooms, overall, it was great value for money.

I had an amazing time at the resort, enjoying breakfasts with stunning sea views and delicious meals throughout my stay. The atmosphere was vibrant, especially when the fishing boats returned in the evening. However, some aspects like the main pool could use a refresh, and Wi-Fi in the rooms was a bit tricky without a local SIM. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I can't wait to come back.
