From the moment to re arrived until we left we felt very pampered and absolutely loved the setting. There is nothing which I would change and all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, especially Michele who even went out his way to come and play paddle with us, we very much looking forward to visiting again, and if in Watamu it is the place to stay!!! read lessAlex Austin31/03/2024Tranquility at the Kenyan coast Lonno lodge is an excellent place for a get away but it also worked very well for us with plenty... read moreLonno lodge is an excellent place for a get away but it also worked very well for us with plenty of programme outside. The decor is very elegant and harmonius. The service is top- notch, tailored to each customer. We very much enjoyed the food because we love Italian cuisine and seafood. If you expect to have a vast sand beach this may not be your place but we enjoyed the natural and beautiful beach for swimming. The lack of air con in the room with 30 + temperature outside was not a huge issue for us as the fans compensated but may be an issue for some. read lessAntti K21/03/20245* boutique style hotel with the most friendly staff We had the most wonderful time at Lonno Lodge and I can highly recommend staying at this beautiful hotel.

There are few rooms only making this feel like an intimate, cozy and familiar atmosphere. The rooms are extremely clean and well designed with nice private outdoor areas. Only a short distance to the pool and the private sea access. Overall, this was the best among 3 other hotels we stayed at during our stay in Watamu and the staff made this so special and we felt at home. read lessMauritz Q18/03/2024

It is a wonderful place where the small number of rooms makes for a unique atmosphere. The days passed chilling, swimming and enjoying the excellent cuisine ..what more does anyone want!? There are also plenty of activities available such as exploring the reef, snorkelling, and paddle boarding. The careful and very welcoming hospitality provided by Silvia, Aldo & Michele gave us a restful and rejuvenating stay - a really special time in the middle of an English winter! Thank you so much. read lessJonathan H13/03/2024Quiet, private luxury retreat Lonno Lodge has many pluses: it is in a good location in Watamu and away from the crowds, the setting... read moreLonno Lodge has many pluses: it is in a good location in Watamu and away from the crowds, the setting is quiet and private and the food is very good indeed. The lodge does not have a beach as such but you can walk down and onto the reef at low tide. There is however an enormous swimming pool. I found the service from all the staff to be top notch and no request was ever too much trouble. The rooms were very hot and despite 2 fans, it was very warm at night. I would prefer to have air conditioning in the bedroom. That is my only negative comment. read lessCamper1432055383202/03/2024Best place ever to relax in Kenya We spent 3 nights at the Charming Lonno Lodge and it was the perfect place to relax after a week... read moreWe spent 3 nights at the Charming Lonno Lodge and it was the perfect place to relax after a week of safari on the roads and moving from one place to another. First of all, we were warmly welcomed by Silvia and her team, who made us feel at home and comfortable. And then, the place is absolutely charming, there is no other word: the view is amazing, everything is made of wood and beautifully decorated, you have many small hidden spots to rest and enjoy the tranquility. Our room, the family suite, was so spacious and lovely that it could accommodate our family of 5, including 3 big boys, and it was very close to the swimming pool and the lobby. Honestly, we were so delighted when we arrived, it was like a dream! The swimming pool is wonderful, the food is delicious, the staff is incredible! I strongly recommend to try the massages, which are amazing. And Silvia and her team are always available, making sure they can assist you or arrange any activity you would like to do, such as shopping in the market center, spending the day on a boat to go snorkeling anything. It was hard to leave this wonderful place and we hope to come back very soon. Thank you again Silvia, Aldo, Mickael and the whole whole staff, you made our stay unforgettable!
