-service at breakfast was a bit too imposing and fussy. too many waiters eager to clean up, even if you may still use something, leaning across the table to pick up stuff while one is eating, or standing and chatting at the corner. Also, all waiters are male, no women around. -The hotel is within a marine conservation area, so tries to show some environmental management aspects, for example with right messages in the room for guests to turn off AC if not in the room etc, but then the cleaning staff leaves the AC and fan blasting during the day after cleaning. It is equally important to educate staff as well as the guest about environmental practices.

The paintings of naked women felt a little off. The rest of the design of the property is outstanding, but why the need to fetishize African women's bodies, especially in a non-African-owned establishment that has mostly non-African guests (and lots of children)? The food was generally fairly good but a little bit shy on flavours; the pasta sometimes a little too al-dente.

Pretty much everything was excellent - the location is incredible, rooms are perfect, design & layout outstanding, staff very competent & friendly, just a top package - we'll definitely be back.

The hotel manager behaved arrogantly. We had a confirmation from the hotel stating that breakfast would start at 7:00 AM, but it actually began at 7:30 AM. The manager didn’t even acknowledge that we had the confirmation from the hotel.

The stay in this hotel was very comfortable. The food was great, rooms are very clean and spacious.

A part from the availability of gluten free spaghetti, the facility is not inclusive for people with celiac disease. There is no any bakery gluten free product for breakfast nor for lunch and dinner, though in all Africa is very easy to get naturally gluten-free flours. Also, the availability of a spa could make the vacation much more enjoyable.

The location was amazing. The food was very good, fish and seafood dishes with Italian taste.

All was perfect.

A most relaxing, calm location right on the beach, beautiful swimming and lots of local colour if you venture out of the resort. Totally chilled holiday.

The coffee at breakfast could have been a lot better. Individual cafetières would be ideal.

Kobe was paradise! The location was idyllic, room very spacious and comfortable, staff friendly and helpful, food delicious and very good value. The ambience was peaceful, chic and relaxing. Pools were quiet and super clean. The beach was easily accessible and good for walks into Watamu. We will be back!

Toiletries and towels could be better. Pool service would be great too.

Lovely set up. Nice areas to relax. Friendly staff. Good room cleaning.

Breakfast could be improved, there was little option and the quality could be better for things such as fruits, breads, cakes

Everything was perfect, and if I really have to think about an improvement I would say to have a softer beds :( Other than that, our stay was great and super relaxing.

Excellent location right on the marine national park and a great white sandy beach, 5 minutes tuk tuk (or taxi) away from Watamu. Very spacious and super clean room, bathrooms equipped with all amenities (including a bidet). Good breakfast with a decent variety of sour and sweet stuff. Super kind and friendly staff and a really good a la carte restaurant with a well-thought Italian touch. Very clean a nicely designed swimming pools. Walking in the sea with low tide in the morning was fun! I really recommend Kobe Suites resort for a comfortable stay in Watamu!

I think the mattress is a bit hard. Also breakfast could have more options.

I loved this hotel. It’s in the most incredible location. The beach is stunning. The hotel has 2 beautiful salt water pools. My room had a lovely porch overlooking the back pool. The room is really generously sized. The food is delish and the margaritas exceptional! And the staff wonderful- attentive but never in your face. Kobe is so special!

i didn’t love the beach towels nor the beach cushions, otherwise everything was fantastic.
