We had a lovely, relaxing stay at Kobe Suites. The staff were all exceptionally friendly and helpful and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. It is a well-designed hotel on the best stretch of beach in Watamu which is also part of the nature reserve. When we dined in, the food and drink was excellent and moderately priced.

Amazing stay - hard to leave!!

Really great hotel. Staff were super friendly and helpful, food was delicious and rooms/area around the hotel was lovely. Kobe is on a really nice section of the beach - perfect swimming out to the sandbar. Lots of tuktuks/motorbikes outside the main gate if you need to get anywhere. Can't wait to go back.

Sehr schöne, ruhige und moderne Unterkunft mit durchweg freundlichem und aufmerksamem Personal. Die zwei Salzwasserpools sind groß genug und es sind immer genügend Liegen vorhanden. Der Strandabschnitt vor dem Hotel ist bei Ebbe wunderschön mit klarem und flachem Wasser, sodass man über freiliegende Sandbänke weit ins Meer laufen und trotzdem baden kann. Etwas schade, dass deswegen täglich zwei bis drei kleinere Ausflugsboote hier anlegen um diesen tollen Strand zu genießen. Bei Flut war ein Baden bei uns nicht möglich. Das Frühstücksbuffet sowie das Abendessen ist ebenfalls sehr gut. Abends kann man aus mehrheitlich italienischen Gerichten aus der Karte wählen. Es gibt jedoch auch eine Auswahl an internationalen oder afrikanischen Gerichten. Da die Unterkunft etwas abgelegen ist, muss man für den Transport nach Watamu auf Taxis oder Tuktuks zurückgreifen, diese können jedoch vom Hotel organisiert werden.

Albergo carino, le stanze sono grandi, si mangia bene ed è ben curato. Essendo un albergo per famiglie ci sono molti bambini (rumorosi). Il personale non è sempre stato corretto nei nostri confronti: durante la colazione avevamo ordinato un espresso che, solo a ora di pranzo, abbiamo scoperto essere a pagamento senza che ci fosse stato comunicato prima. Inoltre, in fase di check out, il totale da pagare era sbagliato in quanto erano stati addebitati costi aggiuntivi legati a consumazioni non effettuate; dopo averlo fatto notare, non c’è stato uno scusa, ma anzi abbiamo dovuto controprovare con tutti gli scontrini (che ci eravamo tenuti) che quelle consumazioni non erano state effettuate.
