Madina Palms was simply outstanding from the time we checked in all the way through to check out. Our experience at this hotel was flawless. A special shout out to the entire team who work so hard to make the dream happen. We will visit again whenever we find ourselves in beautiful Watamu. Highly recommended.

Erinomainen, eksklusiivinen paikka
Palvelu pelaa hienosti ja ystävällistä henkilökuntaa riittää. Avarat huoneistot ja useita mahdollisuuksia rentoutumiseen. Hotellilla ei sallita "äänekästä" elämää (musiikkikaiuttimet yms) mm. altailla. Hyvä aamupala.
