    The food at the buffet was mind-blowing, with delicious beef, seafood pasta, and polenta. The staff were super friendly and helpful, always ready to assist. There were plenty of spots to hang out, like the terrace, poolside, bar, and reception area. And the best part was the great value for money, with rates as low as USD 45/night during the low season.

    Loved the hot tub, perfect for relaxing after a day of diving. The staff at reception gave me so much advice, I felt like a local expert! And the continental breakfast? Well, let's just say it was continental.

    Who needs WiFi in public areas anyway? It's not like I wanted to browse Instagram while sitting on the private beach.

    The staff at Aquarius Club were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our family had a great time. They always had a smile on their face and were very helpful with any requests or questions we had. The atmosphere was very welcoming and made us feel right at home.

    For dads, it would be great if Aquarius Club had more outdoor activities for children.

    The staff were super cool and totally understood our vibe. They hooked us up with all the best spots to party in Watamu and made sure our nights were unforgettable. They even organized exclusive access to a sick beach club and we partied like rockstars all night long. We felt like VIPs the whole time!

    The only thing we wished for was a dedicated party area at the hotel. Don't get me wrong, the pool and bar were awesome, but we wanted a place where we could blast our music, dance like crazy, and just let loose with our crew.

    the resort exceeded my expectations. the beautiful grounds and facilities were well-maintained. the spacious rooms and delicious dinners were a highlight. the friendly and smiley staff added to our enjoyable stay. the private bridge to the beach was convenient and safe, even at night.

    Poor wifi connectivity.

    We chose this hotel to celebrate a special birthday and wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed. Close to the beach with access to pools and activities, the friendly atmosphere and sense of family amongst guests made our stay even more enjoyable. The staff provided excellent service, going above and beyond to make our celebrations unforgettable. The hotel layout was beautiful and the manager was incredibly helpful, providing insider tips on local attractions, clubs, and restaurants. We can't wait to return for a longer stay next time.

    Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

    I recently stayed at this luxurious 4-star hotel and I was extremely impressed. The location of this place is simply stunning, right next to the beach in a beautiful themed park that celebrates the Italian culture in Kenya. Being able to wake up and walk a few steps to the beach was absolutely amazing.

    I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

    I had a wonderful stay at Aquarius Club in Watamu. the resort hotel is charming and offers all the facilities I needed. Despite not being brand new, the property is well-maintained and the staff truly cares about their guests. the unique blend of Italian and African cuisine in the half Italian - half African kitchen was absolutely delicious. the rooms were clean and comfortable, with a relaxing decor. the location was convenient, with the beach and other resorts easily accessible. the staff were incredibly friendly and spoke Italian, which added a fun element to the experience. it was a fantastic stay and I would definitely return. Cons: Not obvious to find. 😕.

    I had a great stay at this resort! The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location was also excellent, close to the beach and attractions like Gede Ruins and Mida Creek. The food at the resort was amazing, with a wide variety of options to choose from.

    There were a couple of minor issues during my stay. there was no WiFi in the rooms, which was a bit inconvenient.

    I had a wonderful stay at Aquarius Club in Watamu. the staff, especially the waiter from Ganze, went above and beyond to make sure I had a great time. the swimming pool, although a bit far, was definitely worth the walk with its beautiful view and excellent staff. the location of the resort was perfect, as it was close to Gede Ruins and Mida Creek. the rooms were clean and the hot shower was very refreshing. the staff and facilities made my stay more enjoyable, and I would definitely consider staying here again next year. Cons: Nothing could have been better. 😊.

    I recently stayed at Aquarius in Watamu for a relaxing beach vacation. The hotel, while not brand new, was well-maintained and had all the facilities I needed. The staff was incredibly friendly and the Italian-African cuisine was delicious. The location was convenient, with shops and a bank within walking distance. The rooms were spacious and clean, with a cozy balcony. The breakfast was fresh and the bed was comfortable. The pool was a great place to relax. The hotel also organized a special New Year's Eve event. a great stay!

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    The rooms at Aquarius Club are so comfortable! I stayed in a single room and it had air conditioning, which was a huge relief in the hot weather. The tile floor was nice and cool too. I felt refreshed and relaxed the whole time I was there.

    Personally, I found the casino at Aquarius Club a bit too loud for my taste. But hey, I know some people love the energy and excitement, so it's just my own opinion.
