Delicious Varied Menu

During my week-long stay, I was delighted by the variety of meals offered at the hotel. The food was consistently delicious, with fresh meat, seafood, and vegetarian options available. I particularly enjoyed the sushi and poke bowls, which were made with high-quality ingredients. The menu changed daily, ensuring that I never got bored with my meals.

Stunning Ocean View Room

I stayed in an ocean view room and it was absolutely amazing! The room was beautifully decorated, featured air conditioning, and was equipped with a mosquito net. Coming back to a freshly cleaned room with new bed sheets every day was a lovely touch.

Relaxing Pool Experience

The swimming pool at Ocean Sports was the perfect spot to unwind. I spent most of my days lounging by the pool, enjoying the sun, and taking refreshing dips. The area was spacious with plenty of sunbeds available, providing a peaceful atmosphere away from the hustle.

Excellent Entertainment Options

One thing that stood out for me was the relaxed yet sociable atmosphere at the resort. There were screens in common areas that played various sports events, making it a great place to watch games. It was a highlight to enjoy the Premier League matches with fellow guests.

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.

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.
