Top beach , if you can reach this place in low tide you will never go back home !!! Robbie and the group are fantastic crazy guys , end of day you can dance and learn dance with them , eating good fish and drinking. We usually move there with our bajaji from Watamu Town, but you can have anytype of service. Top top Robbie and his "miracle" in lunchtime. See u soon

I ate lobster and chips. Very good. Compared to other places on the beach, it's much more expensive. Sunbeds are 700 shillings, or 500 if you eat there. Beer is 400. Other restaurants on the beach (which are also very good) offer sunbeds for 300 shillings and beer for 250 shillings. In any case, it's worth it for just one day.

We went there for a cousin's day out. Getting there if you don't have a car might be hectic. The road to there is dusty. If you're coming from Malindi, utaingilia njia ya Kijiwetanga. A bike from Malindi charges Ksh. 400 one way. The sunset looked soo good 😍 We had Bolognese pizza, Magherita pizza, Calamari pizza, Bahari Sea food pizza and fries. The pizza tasted good 😋 The portion of fries was good, though it went for Ksh. 500. We enjoyed swimming in the beach, though at first we had to wait for water irudi. The customer service was good. We paid Ksh. 3500 for a boat ride. A boat ride is done during morning hours when there is low tide.

It's a quite big place with 100+ seats and around 30 Sunbeds. A bit hard to find trough Google maps, since the road leading down from the main road didn't show on our map. The welcome was kind of overwhelming, the opposite of the carelessness that defines to many other restaurants. But this place might have taken the welcoming a bit to far for a " reserved" European heart. It became similar to a "beach boy attack". Anyway; the following service was great. Attentive, friendly and professional. A big thxs to our waiter Martin for that. Drinks where quickly served and followed up for refill. Unfortunately not cooled. The juice not being juice, but instead diluted and flavoured "limonade style". Unfortunately this is a common thing all over Kenya, but it still doesn't make it juice. And it tasted great. The food was priced in the higher end, but plentiful. Very plentiful. And well prepared. A few details lacking on perfection though, but definitely better than most other places we have visited in Malindi/Watamu area. The reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars is that several menu options was missing. Foodwise based on what we got on the plate, it was closer to 5 than 4. All in all is the place is well maintained unlike to many other beach restaurants in the area. The views of the beach and the ocean are fabulous. Sadly enough, our impression of the clients was more like "let us get a sunbed" instead of "let us enjoy what the place have to offer". This might due to the dominating "full board hotels" around. Or it can simply be a misperception based on our experiences this particular day. The place is definitely more than a "sunbed rental". In total it is a place I absolutely will recommend. Well worth the 10 minutes drive out of Watamu town. And is suitable either as a nice two-some place, for a bigger group or a nice family day at the beach.

Beautiful place. Today there was an acrobat show. Friendly staff. Fish was very good. Octopus mediocre. They do have cold beer and make local style cocktails (really strong ones). While the fresh mango and orange juice seems to be awesomely good, they do actually add loads of sugar. I'd suggest to ask it without the sugar ;-)
