This hotel is a true gem with its stunning location, offering easy access to golden beaches and vibrant local life. The rooms are delightful, filled with charm and attention to detail. The dining experience is simply exceptional, with a diverse menu that changes daily. However, the encounters with some unsavory characters in the bar area might be off-putting for some. Overall, it’s a perfect blend of relaxation and excitement, but remember to steer clear of the bar during certain hours.

My stay at Peponi Hotel was a wonderful experience overall. The breathtaking views from my room and the luxurious feel of the property made my trip special. However, I did find some of the service a bit inconsistent, especially considering the price point. The dining experience was enjoyable, but there were moments that could have been more welcoming. In terms of value, I thought it was slightly on the pricier side, especially with some upselling for activities upon arrival.

I had an amazing long weekend at Peponi Hotel in Lamu! The hotel is located just a few meters from a lovely beach and offers beautifully decorated rooms with captivating sea views. The dining experience was delightful, though I found the service to be a bit slow at times. Overall, the atmosphere is calm and not crowded, which truly enhanced my stay, and I can't wait to return!

My stay at Peponi was nothing short of extraordinary. The location is spot-on, right on the beach and steps from the local village. The service provided by the staff made me feel like I was staying with family rather than in a hotel. Every meal was fresh and delicious, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. However, it’s hard to find anything that could use improvement; I just wish I could have stayed longer!

Peponi is a beautifully relaxing spot on Lamu Island, letting you escape the hustle of nearby towns. I was amazed by the fantastic food and personal service provided by Carol and Kailor, which made my stay feel special. However, my experience with the owner during an earlier visit was less positive, as her demeanor felt dismissive and rushed. Overall, it's a place I'd love to return to for its lovely ambiance and dedicated staff, but I hope any interactions with the owner are more pleasant next time.
