Dining: Lacto-ovo vegetarian cuisines

Conference: Unique facility with ocean views

“In my opinion, this beachfront location is ideal for budget-conscious travelers seeking direct beach access in Watamu. The lacto-ovo vegetarian restaurant is noteworthy, and the conference facilities with ocean views present a unique option for business meetings. While some areas require renovation, the resort's proximity to local attractions and provision for both camping and more traditional stays are pluses.”
