Spotless and impeccably run by a husband and wife team, it boasts superb service and exquisite food (although perhaps a bit too much of the latter as felt our waistlines expand daily!). We were there at the very end of the season and almost had the hotel to ourselves. The surroundings are gorgeous and the architecture of the hotel is reminiscent of the intricate network of an ancient Arabic village. Our room was a large, airy duplex suite which would have benefited from air conditioning, given the extreme heat and humidity. Having said this though, it was liberating to sleep with all the doors and windows wide open. Mosquitoes were non-existent. The swimming pool was beautiful and there was easy access to the tidal flats in front of the hotel at low tide. The children loved exploring this area and discovering coral, crabs and other sea creatures. The hotel provided suitable footwear for such excursions, which was invaluable. While management was readily available when we needed them, they were not proactive in terms of promoting local activities or excursions. We felt we had to tease information out of them, but once this was done, their guidance proved very reliable. For a fee, the hotel offered air-conditioned transport to local airports and attractions. Unusually, there was not one single sign of written information or communication anywhere in the entire hotel complex. Coming from the over-controlling UK environment, we were surprised to find no paperwork in the room, fire information, or even a sign to the bar! In a way this was refreshing and we felt our hosts were overly keen not to state the obvious. We had slight security concerns before our trip, but once there, could not have felt safer. Not a single pirate! Our stay was very comfortable, utterly delicious, and our every need was provided for. Silvia and Aldo run a very tight ship and are to be commended for their service and style. We would not hesitate to recommend Lonno Lodge to friends. Asante sana Lonno Lodge! ##### Karen ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 2022 Start Lonno is a wonderful place to enjoy a much deserved holiday.

It’s so peaceful and laid back, but with incredible service from Sylvie and Aldo and their amazing staff. It is very comfortable in the rooms too. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 Dec 2018 A wonderful small hotel outside the main village. Great pool and excellent food. If you do not like big modern hotels, this is for you. Silvia and her husband are stars. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicolas 31 Jan 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very nice stay Our stay and the service was very great. ##### Nicolas ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lester, Dallas, Texas 10 Aug 2011 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautifully secluded Great place to stay. Expensive, but if money is not a problem then I highly recommed staying here. Small and personal. The owners are hands on. The staff are friendly and attentive. The rooms are nice. The food is outstanding. Is away from the main part of Watamu so it is secluded and quiet. If you so desire, you can walk to the main shops along the beach. Great view. A+ ##### Lester ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian, Leeds UK 11 Mar 2011 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommended This is a fantastic hotel, designed by the Italian owners and closely watched over by them. The staff also are very polite and helpful. The rooms are actually like small houses with kitchen and large fridge where you are only charge normal prices for the drinks used. Some people might think that it is too quiet, but the service and facilities are excellent. ##### Brian ### 10/10 Excellent #### Silvia, Stockholm 8 Mar 2011 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great expectations! Had a lovely time at Lonno Lodge! Mkt trevligt par som driver hotellet och som gör vistelsen mer än behaglig. Suveränt poolområde och relaxavdelning. Genomtänkta och strukturerade rum. Behaglig atmosfär! ##### Silvia ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gerry, Houston, TX 19 Jan 2011 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Magical Place Lonno Lodge is a beautiful place where it is possible to spend time just relaxing by the pool in front of the ocean, venture out for beach and water activities or visit the nearby town and other interesting sites in the area. The staff was friendly and helpful while the owners interacted with the guests and offered advice on how to get around and on what to do in the area. They also organized trips by jeep and boat to local places of interest. The overall feeling is that of visiting friends. ##### Gerry ### 10/10 Excellent #### WILLIAM 20 Sept 2023 ##### WILLIAM Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Olare Mara Kempinski Masai Mara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Olare-Mara-Kempinski-Masai-Mara.h5982297.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashnil Aruba Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Voi-Hotels-Ashnil-Aruba-Lodge.h12761761.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashnil Mara Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Ashnil-Mara-Camp.h12748836.Hotel-Information) > > [Billionaire Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malindi-Hotels-Lion-In-The-Sun-Hotel.h5234263.Hotel-Information) > > [Karen Blixen Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Karen-Blixen-Camp.h40597380.Hotel-Information) > > [Sarova Mara Game Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Sarova-Mara-Game-Camp.h1558998.Hotel-Information) > > [Sentrim Elementaita Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nakuru-Hotels-Sentrim-Elementaita-Lodge.h9796572.Hotel-Information) > > [Salt Lick Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taita-Hills-Hotels-Salt-Lick-Safari-Lodge.h1737570.Hotel-Information) > > [Flamingo Hill Tented Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/FLAMINGO-HILL-TENTED-CAMP.h48517186.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun N Sand Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mtwapa-Hotels-Sun-N-Sand-Beach-Resort.h22405447.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nanyuki-Hotels-Fairmont-Mount-Kenya-Safari.h1554906.Hotel-Information) > > [Mara Bush Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Mara-Bush-Camp.h9851393.Hotel-Information) > > [andBeyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-AndBeyond-Kichwa-Tembo-Tented-Camp-All-Inclusive.h48508310.Hotel-Information) > > [Muthu Lake Naivasha Country Club, Naivasha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nakuru-Hotels-Lake-Naivasha-Country-Club.h4489107.Hotel-Information) > > [Mara Intrepids Tented Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Mara-Intrepids-Tented-Camp.h4233348.Hotel-Information) > > [Fig Tree Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Fig-Tree-Camp.h1856048.Hotel-Information) > > [Ngulia Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tsavo-Hotels-Ngulia-Safari-Lodge.h9817070.Hotel-Information) > > [Mara Engai Wilderness Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Mara-Engai-Wilderness-Lodge.h12423942.Hotel-Information) > > [Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amboseli-Hotels-Amboseli-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h978634.Hotel-Information) > > [Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nakuru-Hotels-Sarova-Lion-Hill-Game-Lodge.h1507255.Hotel-Information) > > [Ol Tukai Lodge Amboseli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amboseli-Hotels-Ol-Tukai-Lodge-Amboseli.h7050582.Hotel-Information) > > [Sentrim Amboseli Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amboseli-Hotels-Sentrim-Amboseli-Lodge.h9797169.Hotel-Information) > > [Mara Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Mara-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h526955.Hotel-Information) > > [Governors' Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Governors-Camp.h15044971.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Mara Safari Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Fairmont-Mara-Safari-Club.h1544563.Hotel-Information) > > [River Ness Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Hotels-River-Ness-Hotel.h67284506.Hotel-Information) > > [Rondo Retreat Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kakamega-Hotels-Rondo-Retreat-Centre.h22484572.Hotel-Information) > > [Treetops](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nanyuki-Hotels-Treetops.h11091551.Hotel-Information) > > [Kibo Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amboseli-Hotels-Kibo-Safari-Camp.h14826564.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [easyJet Gatwick (LGW) to Paisley (GLA) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/easyjet-from-gatwick-to-glasgow-intl/u2/lgw/gla)
