Delicious Culinary Experience

The food at Ocean Sports Resort was absolutely fantastic! I particularly enjoyed the fresh seafood options available daily, which were prepared to perfection. The varied menu kept me excited about meal times, as there were always new choices and flavors to try. I indulged in the buffet for lunch on Sundays, and it was one of the highlights of my stay! Everything tasted fresh and well-cooked.

Exciting Ocean Sports Facilities

Ocean Sports Resort truly lives up to its name with an excellent range of ocean activities. I had the best time trying out snorkeling and paddleboarding through Acqua Ventures, the resort's ocean sports facility. The instructors were knowledgeable and friendly, making the whole experience enjoyable. Definitely a must for anyone seeking adventure during their stay!

Comfortable and Beautiful Rooms

I stayed in an ocean view room during my visit, and it was amazing! The room was spacious, clean, and offered stunning views of the ocean right from the balcony. I appreciated the comfortable bedding and the daily housekeeping service which kept everything tidy and fresh. It was a lovely place to unwind after a day full of activities!

Relaxing Poolside Vibe

The pool area at Ocean Sports Resort was simply splendid! It was well-maintained and provided a serene atmosphere to unwind after a busy day. I loved lounging by the pool, soaking up the sun, and enjoying refreshing drinks. The landscaping around the pool was lovely and added to the overall relaxing vibe of the resort.

I recently spent a week at Ocean Sports Watamu, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The location right on the beach offers stunning views, and the atmosphere is vibrant, especially at sunset when the fishing boats return. The staff is fantastic, going out of their way to ensure a warm welcome. However, the pool could use a few more sunbeds to accommodate everyone comfortably. Despite this minor setback, the value for the money spent is excellent, especially considering the quality of the dining.

We had an amazing dining experience at Ocean Sports, with delicious meals and excellent service. The staff was incredibly accommodating, especially for our large group. While the location was fantastic, right on the beach, the noise during the Christmas season was quite overwhelming. Overall, it was a great place for family gatherings, but I wouldn’t recommend visiting during high party seasons due to the noise and mess.
