Jumbo Club Watamu

Kilifi - Kenya

Map
The hotel is set in a 2,000-square-metre tropical garden on either side of which are the elegant Arabic-style buildings housing the rooms. Harmony prevails here, between the cosy reception and the large central building housing the restaurant, bar and elegant lounge, amidst the bougainvillea and palm trees overlooking the sea.

Our beach is Jacaranda Bay, unparalleled on the Kenyan coast, just a few kilometres from Watamu. Malindi is 20 km away and Mombasa Airport 125 km with a transfer time of about 2h30. Jacaranda Bay stretches for about 9 km and is part of the Watamu Marine Reserve. The play of the tides causes small atolls known as 'Sardinia 2' to emerge.

Beach & Pools

The hotel is located within the Watamu and Malindi Marine Park area, directly on the beach of Jacaranda Bay. It is described as one of the most beautiful beaches in Africa, stretching 9 kilometres to the fishing village of Mayungu. The effect of the tides creates coral sand atolls, known as Sardinia 2, which are popular excursion destinations.

A few hundred metres from Jumbo, you can find several chiringuitos and water sports centres, such as kite surfing.

Our private beach, with a 90-metre beachfront area, is equipped with sun loungers and natural shady areas created by palm trees.

The Jumbo has three seawater pools and two large Jacuzzis; from one of the pools you can directly access the beach.

All the pools are surrounded by sunbathing areas with sun loungers and shaded corners. The main pool overlooks the private beach and measures over 220 square metres. It includes two smaller pools for children. The second pool, measuring 200 square metres, is located in the sports and entertainment area.

Rooms

Jumbo's 92 rooms are located in five two-storey Arabic-style buildings, arranged parallel to the beach and around the tropical garden and offer solutions for couples and families. All rooms are comfortable and spacious (never less than 32 square metres), furnished in local style and equipped with mini-fridge, traditional Lamu-style bed with mosquito net, individually controlled air-conditioning, ceiling fan, safe, electric adapters, furnished veranda or balcony, large bathroom with shower and hairdryer.

Maximum occupancy: 3 persons

Restaurants & Bars

The hotel has one main restaurant and two bars: Main Bar and Beach Bar. The treatment is SOFT ALL INCLUSIVE and includes: breakfast, lunch and dinner with buffet service; snacks during the day and tea time at 5pm; soft drinks from 10am to 10pm and draught beer during meals.

The Main Bar is the ideal meeting point to enjoy a spritz or the creations of our bartenders.

At the Beach Bar from morning till dusk you can quench your thirst or enjoy fresh fruit snacks. And once a week...BEACH PARTY!

The main restaurant offers buffet service and show cooking (express cooking in the grill area and pasta corner) during breakfast, lunch and dinner; it has a large indoor room and a spacious outdoor area in the tropical garden.

A la carte restaurant: on reservation, it also offers a wide choice of special dinners with the best of local and Italian gastronomy (from fresh pasta to shellfish); dinners are served on the beach or in the most picturesque corners of the resort by candlelight.

The cuisine is based on the freshest products, almost all of them zero kilometre, especially fish and vegetables, prepared according to the best recipes of Italian, international and Swahili cuisine.

Services and Entertainment

The Jumbo Resort offers a programme suitable both for those who want to enjoy a relaxing and peaceful holiday and for those who prefer to have fun and engage in sporting activities.

The daytime programme includes both soft activities such as muscle toning and yoga and livelier activities such as aqua aerobics, beach volleyball and water polo tournaments.

Kenya is dedicated to Swahili language courses, cooking lessons, dance classes and 'parades' in local clothing. It is also possible to visit the Jacaranda Primary School, a 20-minute walk from the hotel.

The evenings are dedicated to African culture and its peoples; we offer shows by Watamu acrobats, Masai dances and markets, dances and traditions of the Giriama (the prevailing tribe on the coast). But also classical entertainment with games and cabaret organised by our team. One evening a week, Beach Party!

For children from 4 to 12 years old, our Kids Club offers play activities in dedicated areas, in the pool and on the beach organised and supervised by our specialised staff.

Every destination, package and service offered has been carefully selected to ensure an unparalleled travel experience. Furthermore, our expert team is always on hand to assist you at every stage of your journey, ensuring that every detail is taken care of to perfection.
  • Are the prices always the same even if the date changes?
    Prices vary based on various factors which may be seasonal, day of the week, occupancy status of the hotel, promotions, particular fairs in the city and more. The advice, to see the prices, is to enter the dates of your stay and make your own comparisons.
  • Is breakfast always included?
    No, it depends on the rate and whether the structure is organized to offer it or not. Check carefully before booking what is included and what is not and what type of service is offered.
  • Can I make special requests?
    Of course, when booking you will have a field where you can write directly to the property and make your requests. These will be evaluated by the Hotel who will respond directly to you. MeTour is not responsible in this decision-making process.
  • What types of beds will I find in the room I booked?
    The type of bed is usually specified in the room sheet. If you have any special requests or needs you can indicate them at the time of booking by writing them in the "special requests" field which will be forwarded directly to the property. In this process MeTour is not responsible.
  • What is Paga in Structural and what are Payment Pre-Authorisations?
    When you book, some facilities offer the possibility of paying directly at the facility. In these cases you will simply be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the booking, but without any charge. The sum will be taken from your credit card only in the cases provided for by the policies and conditions relating to your booking. In other cases, when the Partner does not adopt automatic availability and booking systems, but confirms reservations "manually", then you will be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the reservation, and then be directly charged at the same time as the Partner confirms the booking (within 24-48 hours). At that moment you will receive an email with the booking confirmation and payment.
  • How do I know if my card has been pre-authorized?
    By consulting your credit card balance you will see that your available balance will be temporarily reduced by the amount of your booking. In other cases and depending on the policy of your credit card circuit, you may also find an entry in the monthly summary of card movements: "pending operation". The pre-authorization block, depending on the situation, will be maintained according to the policies and terms and conditions of what has been booked.
  • How can I cancel or change my booking?
    Easy, enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can modify or cancel your booking. Remember that changing dates or canceling with a refund request depends on the rate you chose when booking.
  • Can I transfer my reservation to another person?
    For this request, contact the property directly which may have a specific policy in this regard or may need further data on the person to whom you want to transfer the booking.
  • How can I get help with my booking?
    Enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can contact us or by writing through our contact form specifying your booking number and the reason for the contact request. We recommend that you also leave a telephone number where you can be reached in case of need.
  • Are there taxes, local charges or extras to be paid directly on site?
    They are normally clearly indicated in the property sheet or added during the booking phase depending on local regulations or the facility's policies. But even if not clearly indicated, payments may be requested directly to the facility for any tourist taxes, local charges or extras not included in the rate. The advice is to read everything carefully before booking or writing to us through our contact form.
  • Are small pets allowed?
    It is often clearly stated in the property sheet and for this reason we invite you to carefully read their policies. Where not indicated, we invite you to contact us through our contact form for more information.

Bellissima esperienza
Bellissima esperienza presso il Jumbo resort!
Struttura curata e gestita benissimo, cibo e animazione ottimi, non posso che consigliarlo!
Inoltre mi sono trovata davvero bene affidandomi per le escursioni a due ragazzi soprannominati Eddy Murphy e Pensiero, incontrati sulla spiaggia del resort, organizzazione perfetta e vi faranno conoscere e innamorare del loro paese e delle persone che lo abitano (lascio i loro numeri per contattarli in caso vogliate organizzare il vostro viaggio in Kenya: Pensiero +254714181764 e Eddy +254 787 051673)

Esperienza indimenticabile
Ottima esperienza al resort, cibo di ottima qualità e grande professionalità degli animatori.
Per le escursioni ci siamo affidati ad un ragazzo in spiaggia (James Katana, noto con il nome di Pensiero). È stato molto professionale e ci siamo trovati molto bene, pertanto lo consigliamo se voleste fare delle gite (il suo numero è +254714181764).

Magico!
Sono stata al Jumbo, due volte, ad Agosto e a Dicembre 2023, entrambe le volte per due settimane.
Per me, uno dei migliori resort in quasi 30 anni di viaggi!
Splendida struttura, camere ampie, sempre perfettamente pulite; cibo ottimo, tanta varietà e quantità!
Tutto il personale, dalla reception all'accoglienza (Victor, Cristina, etc), ai ragazzi che lavorano nei giardini, gli addetti alle pulizie, al ristorante, ai fantastici ragazzi che prestano servizio sulla spiaggia, tutti molto cordiali, gentili e disponibili, compreso James il Masai!
Per quanto riguarda l'animazione e l'intrattenimento, si inizia la mattina con il risveglio muscolare, poi c'è l'acquagym, il gioco aperitivo; ci sono le lezioni di swahili, i tornei di beach volley, bocce e freccette; ogni sera è previsto uno spettacolo diverso: il lunedì gli acrobati; il mercoledì la tribù giriama; il giovedì i Masai e, le altre sere, ci pensava lo staff animazione, con giochi di squadra, balli di gruppo, karaoke e tanto altro.
Proprio allo staff animazione vorrei dedicare qualche parola in più. Ragazzi di una gentilzza unica! Sempre con il sorriso, simpaticissimi; pronti a soddisfare le esigenze dei clienti con discrezione, mai invadenti o assillanti! Vorrei poter scrivere tanti aggettivi per loro, ma mi limito con SEMPLICEMENTE ECCEZIONALI! In particolare Robert, per me il numero uno! Un ragazzo d'oro, veramente speciale!
Per quanto riguarda le escursioni, mi sono affidata sempre ad un "beach Boys", di nome Eric! Ragazzo serio, affidabile, gentile ma, soprattutto, molto educato! Con lui ho organizzato tutte le escursioni compreso il Safari! Si è dimostrato veramente impeccabile!
Mi permetto di lasciare il suo nominativo ed il numero di telefono, perché so che non gli darà fastidio: Eric Juma +254 729 860384.
Così, chi dovrà recarsi al Jumbo (o anche Jacaranda, Twiga etc) almeno sa già a chi rivolgersi.
Per concludere: al Jumbo ho trascorso le vacanze tra le più belle della mia vita! Se potessi, ci tornerei tutti i mesi!

Grazie mamma africa
Derick .. esperienza perfetta!!! Lo abbiamo contattato per un safari di 4 giorni e tre notti (taita Hill, amboseli e Tsavo est). tutto perfetto. Ci siamo accordati con lui dall'Italia, ci ha fornito tutte le informazioni di cui avessimo bisogno. Il giorno prima della partenza è venuto presso il nostro resort per conoscerci e definire gli ultimissimi dettagli del viaggio.
Data la positività dell'esperienza abbiamo prenotato tutte le altre escursioni con lui.
Derick è una guida perfetta per farvi conoscere l'africa !
durante il safari ci ha proprio fatto da guida, spiegandoci i comportamenti degli animali.

Très bon séjour
L’hôtel est à échelle humaine, le parc est très beau et surtout, les pides dans l’eau.
Nous ya vous passé une semaine entrecoupées de 2 nuits en lodge pour les safaris.
Nous avons donc changé de chambre. Les 2 très bien au standard de ce type d’hôtel.
C'est vrai que les robinetterie pourraient être changées. Globalement l'hôtel devra être rafraîchi.
2 piscines très bien dont une d’eau salée top.
Restauration très bien, variée, poisson toujours très bons.
L’accès à l’hôtel ce fait par une piste complètement dénoncée, ça peu surprendre.
Enfin, la plage est exceptionnelle, à marrée basse, un beachboy se fera un plaisir moyennant une dizaine d’euros ou plus, ils en ont besoin de vous accompagner. Pensez à la crème solaire.
Re enfin apportez leur des fournitures scolaires, produits d’hygiène....délivrance...
Bon voyage

Inoubliable !
Nous avons passé 10 jours dans cet Hotel , tout à été parfait du début à la fin avec une prise en charge par Alain le référent de Fram . Chambres spacieuses et confortables avec un personnel aux petits soins , Alain s'est occupé de nous comme si il nous connaissait depuis toujours avec une gentillesse extraordinaire et a su répondre à toutes nos demandes.
Le Kenya un pays magique ou nous retournerons sans aucun doute.

Nous avons passé 2 semaines merveilleuses dans cet hôtel accueillant situé en bord de mer. L'hôtel est très propre, la nourriture variée et de qualité (poisson excellent).
Le personnel est très agréable, bienveillant, avec toujours le sourire !
Un grand MERCI à Alain, notre référent français, pour sa gentillesse, sa disponibilité, son professionnalisme et qui a contribué à nous faire passer un excellent séjour !!
Que de beaux souvenirs !! Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir.

Cet hôtel ne mérite pas les 4 etoiles
L hôtel était plus que médiocre... insalubrité des chambres en premier lieu ... Le reste d ailleurs n est guère mieux (photos si besoin).
Alain (le représentant de fram) n est pas à la disposition des clients et pas fiable.
En voyant l état de notre chambre, on a été le voir ... il a simplement proposé de changer de chambre et à sous entendu qu on ne devait pas s attendre à une propreté impeccable car nous sommes au Kenya.
Étant un représentant de voyages de Fram, ce n'est pas des choses à dire.

Franchement hotel à déconseiller fortement.

Amazing holiday
Great place to be. We spent one week there and everything was amazing from the sea, food to activities. I'm planning to be back soon or later. For activities I completely relied on Derick Frigorifero (+254 740 140784 you can contact him directly via WhatsApp).

Etwas dreckigeres findet man selten
Angepriesen als 4 Sterne Hotel ist bis auf das Essen dort alles mies. Von Hygiene haben die dort noch nie etwas gehört. Angefangen bei den Gemeinschaftsräumen/Bar über die Liegen am Pool und Strand über das Einsammeln der Einwegbecher mit anschliessendem Ausspülen mit Wasser und Wiederverwendung. Liegen voller Vogelmist. Ausschlag bekommen. Pool unsauber und viel zu viel Chlor. Nach dem Tauchen mussten die Augen mit klarem Wasser ausgespült werden. Die Bilder des Hotels entweder super bearbeitet oder schon uralt

January stay with the family
I am during my stay in Jumbo Resort currently. I am spending 7 nights here with the family. Today will be my last night.
Jumbo is a big resort, with plenty of rooms and two pools. One of the pools is not crowded which is nice as you can even enjoy it on your own, but it’s further from the beach and other facilities. The other one is usually crowded as it’s right next to the beach.
There is a huge choice of food during the meals. The quality is medium - there are very good and very poor foods as well. The worst thing are the drinks- if you ask for the juice you get something super sweet from a 5l bottle that is not even a resemble of the juice. It’s like a murder to serve something like this in a place full of exotic fruits…. Also all drinks are served in small cups. There is 30 something c degrees here everyday and believe me that you will feel thirsty very often. When they give you such a small cup of juice/beer/water it’s like you can drink it right away. As I speak about the drinks. It is ridiculous that you have to pay for the bottled water to take it to the beach with you… like wtf? The 200ml cup they give for free is nothing and if you want to pay on the beach you would have to get up every 15mins to go to the bar for the cup of water. Another thing- I was leaving this morning for a whole day trip (back to the hotel at 5pm). I asked for a bottle of water at the reception telling them I am going to be away the whole day- they told me to go to the bar to buy the water because they won’t give me a bottle. Worth mentioning I am a pregnant woman and that in the offer when I was buying the trip they said that water and soft drinks are included in my offer…. This is a joke.
The restaurant has a separate menu so that you can order some extras but… they will serve it only the next day. This is also ridiculous as sometimes I’m not hungry during the all inclusive meals and I would like to order something and pay but this is not possible. You stay hungry until the time of next meal.
The lunch boxes you order when you go for a safari or a whole day trip are very poor. Last day we had a sandwich with ham only or ham and cheese. I mean they could do much better as really the choice of food during the breakfast is huge, not only bread, ham and cheese. I do not understand why the sandwiches are so bad.
In general nie hotel is adapted purely to the Italians. The menu, the music, the animation program etc. Also the hotel crew tends to know Italian language but their English is sometimes very poor.
Rooms are roomy and tidy with the AC working well.
The view from the beach is amazing, there are also plenty of palm trees on the beach making it look very exotic. Usually there is no problem to find a free sunbed as there is plenty of them. The problem is that they close the beach like around 6pm or something (pools as well) so if you would like to enjoy your drink in the evening it’s not really possible as there are no mattresses anymore and they say it’s not too safe to go to the beach in the evening.
The beach bar is purely equipped or maybe it only was like this during my stay.
Well, I guess that’s it. If you have any questions let me know.

We spend there great time among friends, sweet African fruits, sun and water. You can even take a kite ride at the beach
Nice place to rest with friends, outsome tides and animals, good food, kindly people around especially guide on the beach named Onesmus who provides with local knowledge and trips wherever you want - safari, towns, shops, Hell’ Kitchen etc. :)
Dear Meander
Thank you for writing a comment about your trip. We are happy to read that your holiday was a success, and we hope that you will want to return to Kenya again.

In the photo, the guide Diego 254792873426 is from the beach,he helped us on a safari, a trip to the city at good prices
The three of us vacationed from 03/11/23 to 11/11/23. We were planning a trip to Egypt, but accidentally found out about the Jumbo Watamu hotel in Kenya. We were pleased with the choice of this tour and hotel. At first we were worried that our holiday might be ruined as it was raining every day in the forecast. It turned out that they were there almost every day, but after half an hour or an hour he disappeared and it was as if he had not been there at all. The hotel area is very beautiful, everything is blooming and fragrant. The beach is small, well-groomed and fenced. The rooms are spacious and clean, cleaning every day. All the staff are friendly and smiling. The food is varied and tasty. On the last day, the ocean pleased us with a high temperature of about 36 degrees, as if we were in a warm bath. The holiday was a success, I would like to return to Kenya again.

Ankunft im Jumbo Resort, nach dem Brand des Barracuda Resort
Das Feuer, die Angst und die Ungewissheit, was morgen passieren würde und mit uns geschehen wird. In einem Augenblick hatte sich der Urlaub in einen Albtraum verwandelt. Nach stundenlangem Warten in den Überresten des "Barracuda Resort" unter dem Geruch von Rauch haben Sie uns schliesslich ins "Jumbo Resort" gebracht wo wir von Angela und Massimo und allen Mitarbeitern mit so viel Herzlichkeit und Freundlichkeit begrüsst wurden, wie mit allen Gästen die sie empfangen. Wir waren anders, bekleidet nur mit Badehose oder Handtüchern und in den Augen den Blick, die ihre Haut gerade gerettet haben, aber glaubten, dass sie alles was sie in den Urlaub gebracht hatten verloren war. Das Lächeln des Jumbo Personal hob unsere Laune und gab uns das Gefühl zu Hause zu sein. Unser Urlaub ging weiter und wir fanden sogar unsere Koffer und einige Kleider. Ich möchte mich bei allen Mitarbeitern des "Jumbo Resort" bedanken, die uns sehr nahe standen, von den Animateuren bis zu den Köchen, Kellnern und übrigem Hotelpersonal. Ich empfehle das Jumbo Resort jedem, da sie alles bieten was man braucht für einen schönen Urlaub. Danke Angela und Massimo
