We loved the setting of the Medina Palms resort - in beautiful Watamu under a canopy of palm trees giving much needed shade and a sense of cool, especially in early January when we were there. Thankfully our apar**ent had air-con in both bedrooms (and fans in the lounge), which didn't seem to be interrupted when the grid power was down (they have generator back-up). Terraces and pools lead all the way down from the main reception area past rooms and apar**ents to the most pristine beach with sand like the whitest powder! The water was clear and warm, and we borrowed the hotel's boogie boards (there was wind surfing on offer free of charge, too). Perfect for families with young children wanting a quiet stretch of beach with safe swimming and wading. I went on a few beach walks in both directions. There were many tourists and locals about, and football being played on the beach. All in all, such a lovely, quiet scene. My husband is in a wheelchair, so there were certain challenges (eg he couldn't get upstairs to the breakfast restaurant, but we were able to enjoy our breakfast in the main courtyard alongside the water fountain); and the apar**ent had a big step up to the front door and then another small step up into the shower (there were grab rails in the bathrooms, though). There is an access path/road around the side of the hotel down to the beach-front restaurant/bar and sun loungers and umbrellas. There are at least 10 steps down from this area onto the public beach. The apar**ent itself was comfortable and roomy, with a kitchenette. The kitchen itself as well as the appliances and utensils etc could do with a bit of an upgrade. The beds were comfy but there were only sheets and thin blankets available, no duvets, which we are used to. Perhaps this is to encourage less reliance on the air-cons. Our children made friends with other children at the hotel; and our son enjoyed playing football with some local children on the beach. The hotel felt safe and secure. The food was very good, with plentiful la carte and buffet options available. All the swimming pools were spotless and the service was very good, helpful and friendly. We would most definitely choose to stay here again. Thanks to the team for a wonderful holiday!
