Situated in Watamu, a few steps from Merry Crab Cove Beach, The Mida Creek Hotel features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. Featuring a restaurant, the property also has a private beach area and a terrace. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared lounge and free WiFi throughout the property. Our experience at Mida Creek was wonderful. The staff were incredibly friendly and hospitable, always willing to assist with a smile. The food was delicious, and while the breakfast was well-prepared and nicely presented, adding more variety would take it to the next level. Utaratibu at its finest! For those looking to combine exercise with relaxation, my friends highly recommend trying kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). It’s a great way to unwind while staying active. The ambience and serenity of the place is truly therapeutic. The beach is quiet and private, offering a peaceful retreat. We also suggest taking a walk to the long beach —it’s a beautiful experience. You can catch a sunrise. We would definitely recommend this place and we are already looking forward to our next visit.
