Located near the centre of Watamu and near the beach there are the very nice apartments of Blue Bay Cove. We stayed in the Junior Apartment ground floor level. The apartment has a spacious living and dining and a well equipped kitchen (an excellent cook is available). Downstairs are two nice big bedrooms and solar heated water for the bathrooms.

Blue bay cove is a warm homely place excellent facilities and staff alike. Of the two apartments offered i prefer the penthouse suite's space and that you can have a large group stay with you... I have returned twice(second visit was with family members)since my initial visit and it is now my "home away from home". I would recommend this... More

Blue bay cove apartments are an exceptional facility. The two bedroom suit at the garden level is actually my favorite. The balcony apartments are lovely but the upstairs sitting room layouts are a bit cramped. The pool is perfect for dips and sheltered from the wind, and the apartments location on the cliff provides varied landscapes. The cliff view and... More

Overall, well worth a visit. Apartments (the 3 bedroom ones at least) are great with plenty space for a family of 5 or 6. Air con in rooms is a treat but could do with same in lounge. Other things to be aware of are: 1. The pool is great (although not visible from most apartments) 2. The beach is... More

Stayed at Blue Bay Cove for 9 nights following some research. We were not disappointed. The apartments live up to their web site portrayal and are surprisingly large. Excellent in every respect and much closer to village live than some of the all inclusive offers. Rosemary and her staff are excellent and make every effort to make one welcome. Just... More

Blue Bay Cove exceed our expectations! We had a huge room that was lovely. The location cannot be beat and we were able to easily walk in to town for food. The staff was incredible and accommodated all of our requests. If you are looking to stay at a non-inclusive resort in Watamu, then I highly recommend Blue Bay Cove

Spent a week at this lovely place in September and really had a great time. We enjoyed excellent service from friendly staff and the place itself was amazing. The views are beautiful and the apartments are very stylishly done. Definitely beats a hotel any day!

Awesome place to stay. Very well done apartments, clean, have an optional chef if you don't want to get tired cooking. The view of the ocean in unparalleled. On a cliff so not much beach space, although the beach is a 3 minutes walk away. Not that you will want to get out of the space provided. Nice pool. Great... More

Very clean, beautiful ambiance, furniture and peacefull. The sea views from P3 are picture perfect, with extraordinary Sunrise & Sunsets. Perfect for family, friends & social groups. Lots of space & lots to do around too. Going back in July & hopefully will spot Dolhins this time round. The photos on the site are genuine & seeing is believing.

We had a wonderful time. We went the week just before the easter weekend. Perfect!!! Quiet before the rush. Our girls(6,5,2) had such a great time in the house at the pool on the grass at the beach. It really looks just as it shows on the website and that is wonderfull as you sometimes book a place and it... More
