Hotel was lovely with delicious food and a really nice area to lie out in the sun. The owners could not have been more helpful. Would highly recommend Visiwa Beach Resort.

We absolutely loved the place! It is a truly peaceful place where you can be completely free and enjoy your time. It is covered in the jungle garden giving a great connection to nature - monkeys are jumping around the trees, lizards running around, and butterflies landing on the flowers. Direct beach access, a nice refreshing pool under the canopy, plenty of secluded places to chill in hammocks and sunbeds. Very family-friendly. Fantastic hosts and good rooms with AC. It is a windsurfing beach and no beach boys are harassing you. We loved every minute of our stay and will try to visit again.

I had such a lovely stay! Sophia was incredibly warm, kind, and responsive from the moment I booked. She made me feel truly welcomed and at home. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests. Highly recommend her as a host! The room was clean, cozy, and exactly as pictured, peaceful, with a beautiful breeze and great lighting. I slept so well and felt safe throughout my stay.

Had a great stay! The property is stunning — the plot is very spacious with a huge garden that’s well maintained. It’s the perfect spot to relax, enjoy a morning coffee, or just take a peaceful walk. The staff were another highlight — super friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The room was clean, cozy, and had everything I needed. The whole place has a calm and peaceful vibe that made it easy to unwind.

    Julie & her team were most attentive, welcoming and accomodating to our requests and questions and made our stay wonderful. It is definitely a kid friendly place where one can relax reading a book and kids can play, particularly during the warmest hours of the day. The breakfast is rich, the room spacious and it is only a 300/400 KES tuktuk ride away from the nearest beach. Great value for money and friendly atmosphere!
