The hemingways resort is a wonderful, very well maintained, clean hotel in Malindi, Kenya. The rooms are very tastefully decorated, clean, and all the technical facilities worked perfectly. Not completely satisfied I was with the room service, since for example towels not partially replaced or properly folded - altogether it was but only details, to complain about would. The area of the restaurant was very neat and clean, the staff very service oriented. Highly recommendable the fish. Also liked very much our group also the from the hotel offered dinner on a dhow in a nahegelegten Bay - really great … read more

The hemingways resort absolutely recommend. I booked it for 4 days visit. It is a small luxury hotel. Accordingly were during our travels ( middle April) very few guests in the hotel. We were in the airport in Malindi of a driver of the hotel picked up. This had hot towels and soft drinks refreshment/welcome for everyone. You should in any case chic clothes wrap( dinner, etc.). The food is unbelievably good. Every evening there was the choice of 3 dishes (fish, meat,...) and eaten was built in sunset open air close to the beach. We have the hotel solely … read more

A paradise retreat with a rich history of big game fishing, Hemingways Watamu is just steps from the ocean and Watamu Beach, considered one of the worlds most beautiful. The resort is surrounded by lush, palm-filled gardens with Watamu Marine Park right on the doorstep. Pools and sun terraces as well as lawns and rich vegetation create an ambience balanced between barefoot charm and total sophistication. The spacious rooms and suites are arranged in traditional thatched buildings decorated in contemporary style with touches of local African art and bold printed fabrics. Big-game fishing is definitely something you should try here. If that is not for you, go dolphin-watching, snorkelling or take a sunset cruise on Hemingways private dhow. Try the mangrove crab in the restaurant with fresh vegetables from the resorts own farm and then enjoy a nightcap in Hemingways Bar, named after the famous writer. The Hemingways Watamu is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
