My girlfriend and I chose Lonno Lodge for our quick 4 days holiday over Easter break and we couldn't have chosen better. A couple of days before our arrival, we contacted Lonno to arrange our pick up at Mombasa airport, which was a very good choice, with the driver waiting for us for c.1 hour more than the scheduled time who accommodate us on a very comfortable minivan with fresh water and wifi. Once arrived at Lonno, you immediately realize that your expectations won't be betrayed...The place is amazing and the pool+ocean view, terrific. Due to the limited number of private apartments (#8), the lovely Aldo and Silvia, can manage the resort in a very friendly and easy going -but also professional- way, and are able to accommodate (almost) all of guests' requests, including the (very important) planning of activities and excursions, whether you want to try a safari (that we didn't do due to a lack of days), a boat trip, mountain bike or quad bike excursion, snorkeling etc. The apartment and all the resort are very clean and very well finished. Food simply amazing, with top class fish dishes and Italian wines. It will be hard not spending all day lying on the sunbeds by the pool, with the ocean on the background. To be mentioned that the sea is only accessible in the low tide hours (typically 11-15). All in all, there is nothing I would change about the place, which is a great choice either for couples, families and solo travelers. Watamu is a place for relax and activities during the day, rather than crazy nights out and, in this respect, Lonno is the best choice you can find. We promised Silvia that we'll be back one day, and you can bet we'll keep our word!
