I left my heart there. I have never visited such a beautiful, well-kept resort, a paradise on earth... The Staff is so kind, helpful and prepared. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are always excellent, well beyond the expectations of my taste (which I consider very demanding). Finally, the hospitality of the hosts, inimitable and unforgettable... thank you very much Silvia and Andrea! ☺️

The charming Lonno is a beautifully designed lodge, the attention to detail is beyond. Extremely clean! The staff is super attentive. I loved the salt water pool. The food was great as it was a different menu everyday.Sylvia and Aldo are so helpful and always available to assist. Its a small quiet, really beautiful holiday spot in Watamu. I really enjoyed my stay at the charming Lonno and will be back again.

This was our third time staying at Lonno lodge and we would definitely do it again. Always a pleasure staying here because of all the great amenities the lodge has and the feeling of exclusivity. A huge plus is always the food which Lonno lodge always gets right. Silvia and Aldo are such good hosts we wouldn't mind spending time here again in the future. When you stay at Lonno all you have to do is have a lovely time because everything's perfect for that!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay . With the name "Charming Lonno Lodge" it really was a special place that we will hopefully return to. Silvia and Aldo and their amazing staff made us feel so much at home. The photos we had seen didn't do it justice. I loved the attention to detail and how clean everything was. Just before sunset the little windows in our Villa would let in beams of sunlight. We had a beautiful huge balcony upstairs and a dining table (which we should of used) downstairs. Our boys were free to run around and they loved the dogs as well , Hafu was a hit with the kids. One priceless moment was when we requested a birthday cake and the staff all came out singing "Happy Birthday " for our 9 year old Son, the dogs joined in as well!!!! Definitely a memory we will all not forget!! Silvia organised transport for us for our trips outside the lodge. They also provided Reef Shoes for the walk on the Coral reef during low tide which we absolutely enjoyed. There is no huge sandy beach but the pool and coral walks , dipping in the ocean at low tide worked for us. The dinners were delicious. What we loved was how private the place is, we generally don't like crowded hotels so this felt very private even though there were other guests. Thank you to Silvia and her team, we wish you the best and hope to come back soon.…
