Cute and cozy lodge with everything you can dream about We have booked the Mvuvi lodge a couple months before the arrival, after checking reviews on booking.com. We’ve stayed in touch with general manager on what’s up prior to coming and became fortunate to get upgrade of the room (great thanks for that, Simon!). Also he arranged an airport pickup for us. Upon arrival we were greeted warmly with refreshments. Placement was fast, everything was according to plan. We got to live in the Manda bungalow with a private porch, behind the reception. There were comfortable beds with crispy sheets and mosquito nets (there were mosquito nets on the windows as well as fumigating devices, so mosquitoes were not an issue at all), large wardrobe, spacious bathroom with convenient ethnic shelves and baskets, hot water always. Wash gel became my love from the first shower! If I did not not travel just with a hand luggage and was allowed liquids on plane, I swear I’d steal it😂 Yes, and there was quality everyday cleaning - our beds looked as in the best hotels. This lodge, quite small and cozy, is located right next to the big Ocean Sport resort. As MVUVI’s guests, we had free access on its territory - to the beach, restaurant or souvenir market. In the morning, when the tide is low, it’s real nice to walk there and local beach boys would show you moray eels, crabs and other sea creatures. Supermarket is about 10 minutes of walk from the lodge. But if lazy, bike boys and tuktuk drivers are always on duty behind the corner. Usually I don’t spend much time in a hotel, preferring outside activities, but this time became an exception. Bar and restaurant were the best of those that we tried in the area, so finally we realised that’s much better to dine “at home”. Alex, the barmen, surrounded us with all the possible attention. Chef’s kitchen was just to eat fingers! For breakfast there was a big choice of eggs (omelette, scrambled, poached, boiled, etc), bacon, sausages, vegetables, cereal, bakery, lots of fruit and fresh juices. Every day there were dinner specials, and the grilled tuna is a must try. The territory is so green and nice you don’t wanna leave! Pool with giraffe style pattern. Sofas, sunbeds, hammock to relax, Nice choice of books. Big wall plasma to watch BBC safari movies or football games. Strong WiFi signal. We bought the full day snorkling trip to Watamu marine park from the hotel, and the rate was better than those offered at the beach. We needed to change currency, receptionist organized it for us on place with a bank employee coming. Not to forget, we truly enjoyed the massage here. The girls were really good at it, and I know what I’m talking about. There is also small shop with souvenirs, swimwear and other vacation stuff. Overall, there is nothing we could possibly complain about. You can feel the property is run by professionals. The staff is small but the service is amazing, Everybody was doing the great job. We felt dear guests here not just customers. Great thanks to all the Mvuvi team for our remarkable stay! I definitely recommend the place. PS The owners’ dog who was there all the time just added charm to our rest, we could not take our hands off her. She was such a sweat pea reminding us about our tails left at home.Posted on Gala2812 Muvuvi (Hidden Gem) Returned to Muvuvi for the fifth time and we were greeted as friends not guests. Stella on reception, always smiling, made us feel at home straight away. Justin does not stand still. Few changes from last year. Far better layout for the dining and kitchen area. Food even better, well done Nzai, Anthony and Eric. Have said it before, if you want total relaxation Muvuvi is the place. Leah looks after the rooms and we had a lovely flower greeting on our bed, lovely gesture. Pool and garden always immaculate, thank you Kapanga. And as for Saudi and Robert who looked after the bar and restaurant super efficient, thanks guys. Justin, you have a “gem” of a boutique hideaway. See you next year Rafiki Anthony SandersPosted on Anthony S Hidden slice of paradise Our stay in Mvuvi was absolutely wonderful. The staff there were so friendly and I cannot recommend it enough. The breakfast is AMAZING. The location is great and you are in walking distance of Ocean Sports (literally 2 minutes) I will be coming back as soon as I can. Thank you especially to Stella, Diana and Justin!Posted on Finlay B A lovely, peaceful, short stay with my family Helpful, friendly, peaceful and although it’s not on the beach this place has an access agreement through another hotel grounds that means it moments away. The rooms, restaurant and bar at all around the poll in the centre. Housekeeping and grounds staff work hard to keep the place immaculately clean and the staff on the bar and I the restaurant were super friendly and helpful. The menu is reasonably priced and the food portions large enough and the quality good. The reception staff were both very welcoming and arranged for us to rent their SUPs and get them to a nearby beach by Tuk-tuk. A short stay but can’t fault the place, especially the staff team.Posted on AlHwood Absolutely Amazing A hidden gem but absolutely fantastic. Really friendly staff and a happy home from home stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The food is excellent. Excellent music and vibes. Great cocktails and comfy sun loungers. Aircon and Wi-Fi. Nothing is too much trouble and you feel like part of the family. Excellent massage available if you ask. Didn’t want to leave and will definitely return. Thanks to everyone at Mvuvi Lodge.Posted on joannanelson321 Perfect spot in Watamu! Mvuvi is the perfect spot for a trip to Watamu. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable. The water pressure in the shower is 10/10 (better than my flat in Nairobi!). The pool is beautiful with nice spaces to lounge and soak up some sun or catch some shade. The restaurant is delicious! The included breakfast is large and tasty. You can tell all the food is made fresh. Finally, the staff is kind and helpful. It is conveniently located next to Ocean sports and just a few minutes walk to the beach. Tasty beers, good company, and the sweetest dog Bea who greets all the guests. Couldn’t recommend it enough!Posted on Hannah Very nice place This hotel is hidden jem in Watamu.Everything was so nice.Rooms was very big,food was very delicios,staff was,so friendly,special regards to my friend Daniel from restorant.The director mr.Renson was the person that make every stay unforgatable.He helped us for everything.The safary that he booked us was the best.I recommend this place to everyonePosted on Plamen T
