The view is magnificient! The beach is few steps. The food is wonderful. The host are really kind and they maintain nice order, cleanness, professionality which are really valueable in Africa. Everything works well here. The AC is not just a decoration like in some other Kenyan places, but it works well.

Great location. Really well maintained. Great garden, pool and proximity to the beach. We visited the expensive resorts down the other end but the beaches not as nice and didn't have the same feel. We stayed in Bijou Room 1 for a week and would easily stay again. Really clean, new and homey. Benjamin and the team were extremely polite and helpful. They allowed us to extend our stay and booked us onto the train back to Nairobi and arranged a transfer to Mombosa. You could hire yourself a motorbike or car for the stay but we found it easy enough to flag down motorbikes or tuk tuks as needed. Just make sure you have enough change or ask to stop at the petrol station to change it.

I spent just one night at Tawi Elegant Rooms in Watamu, but it was enough to leave me with a truly wonderful memory! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with a warm smile and great kindness by the owner, Gisella, who was always available and attentive to every need. The staff was amazing – friendly, professional, and always ready to go the extra mile to make guests feel comfortable and cared for. The property is beautifully maintained, in a peaceful and convenient location, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the unique charm of Watamu. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I will definitely come back for more nights in this little paradise. Congratulations to the whole team!

Although unconventionally located, it didn't detract from this amazing stay at all. The staff very friendly, helpful, kind and ready to fulfill your last wish. The villa is amply equipped with everything you may need during your stay. Including reliable wi-fi connection, Netflix etc. It's a quiet location within easy reach of the beach as well as restaurants, shops, banks too. I definitely recommend this accommodation!

The accommodations were pristine, offering ample space and a luxurious bed fit for royalty. The air conditioning worked flawlessly, ensuring our comfort throughout our stay. Our taste buds were tantalized by the delectable meals, with the tangy tamarind juice and succulent pork chops quickly becoming our favourites. And let's not forget the delightful English breakfasts enjoyed each morning against the backdrop of a breathtaking sea view. I'm definitely coming back.

The stay was great with the staff being very conscious of your needs. The accessibility to the pool was quite amazing as you could swim whenever you needed that cold dip. The option to get a chef during the holiday was great as well

The hotel was beautiful and set in a serene location surrounded by nature and a beautiful creek. All the staff were very friendly and willing to accommodate our needs and special requests. The facilities at the hotel were great, a lovely pool, sufficient downtime areas and lots of activities to complete. Whilst the location was out of the way of Watamu, the staff made all of the accommodations to ensure we were well connected, including the regular boot across and arranging transportations whilst we were at the other side.

Our stay at this accommodation has been exceptional from beginning to end. The location is amazing, right across from a paradise beach and near to hotels and restaurants. Its also next to the new Non Solo Padel Club which was super convenient for me who I love playing padel :) There is a very peaceful outside area with swimming pool that we enjoyed a lot. The house was very clean and the hosts gave us so many tips to move around. We would love to come back!

We stayed in the tents. Loved the feeling of being in our own little forest with monkeys and birds all around. Open air shower is so refreshing. Not a far walk to the most amazing beach. Think its a brilliant idea with different kinds of accommodations available for different budgets and preferences. The Snackbar was wonderful. Stanley and his team really makes amazing food.
