Great stay!
"Had a wonderful stay, staff were very friendly and the breakfast was delicious. One thing to bear in mind is that this location is in the town centre and not near Shella beach - it's either a 40 mins walk or a 15 minute boat ride. There is also no aircon on the island so it's just fans."

We enjoyed Lamu, views are lovely, you can take a dhow to Shela which is pretty, there is shopping (clothes & souvenirs). Donkeys are quaint but they do leave droppings everywhere. Street hustlers can be annoying, but if you are firm they give up.

5/5 - Excellent

Beautiful island with different villages and coasts to visit and relax. Locals are very nice and friendly. We felt very safe here; staying in the Sheela Village. However; the Lamu village center should be visited with a guide during the day.
