“This all-inclusive resort makes a strong case for family vacations, particularly with its kids club and supervised activities. Direct access to Watamu National Marine Park is a real perk, along with the varied water sports instruction available. I especially like the hotel's eco-friendly approach, which extends from water recycling to supporting local artisans-a thoughtful touch.”
