We booked a week at the Rafiki Jua in Watamu, precisely the Rafiki Jua is located inside the Rafiki Tamu, a brand new residence consisting of several apartments (The structure looks like in the photos). Rafiki Tamu is a modern and new structure located exactly halfway between Watamu center and the beautiful beach of Sardinia 2. Our apartment was on the ground floor, overlooking the pool, consisting of dining room with kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. All nicely decorated with a fantastic African style. Inside the structure the entire staff is super helpful, consisting of receptionists, security, cleaning and laundry service (included in the price), masseuses at a very competitive price, chef (available to prepare breakfasts, lunches and dinners). For those who do not want to experience a village I highly recommend Rafiki.

It is nearly impossible to describe our lovely time at Chris House. The house is very beautiful and always clean, and the staff were exceptional and very helpful. It felt like home ( a gorgeous one). The house is close to the main road, the beach is close by - literally like 5 minutes walk. Chef Ndume made us very tasty meals. The host was always available on call and via chat and our requests were always honoured. We truly appreciate Giovanna for her kindness and the warm welcome to Chris House. I would recommend Chris House to anyone visiting Watamu. It was truly worth it. <3

We had an amazing time at Beba Beach thanks to the host Roberta who was very welcoming and attentive. The beachfront location is amazing as well as the beach itself. The room is great for a couple, simple, yet stylishly furnished, modern and clean. The terrace is what makes the place so distinct. I would definitely recommend to stay.

The apartment was just amazing, as it was very beautiful, spacious and in great location. The rooms were big and had very comfortable king size beds and private bathrooms. The pool was just great, although it is shared with other apartments it was always empty and we could use it exclusively. Location is in close vicinity to beautiful beach Papa Remo Beach, main road and supermarket. You can easily get a tuk tuk and visit various beaches. The lady who was taking care of the apartment was very friendly and cooked for us every day delicious breakfast. We extended our stay for additional days since we liked the place a lot. Highly recommended.

It was a home away from home! Agnes and her team took me in and cared for me, gave me tips, and fed me. The room is very spacious and pretty. I loved to have my own seating area infront of my bungalow although I preferred to sit in the main area on a couch cuddling the dogs.

    We had an amazing stay in Rischland Villas. Althought we booked very last minute, the host was super nice and accommodating and the house personnel made the house available just in time for our arrival. The villa is really a paradise and we could enjoy the swimming pool all by ourselves. The beach is at a walking distance and nearby are also many bazaars. We would love to come back here one day!

    Lauren was a super host, helped me with all I needed (boda boda - local moto taxi, beach suggestions, reservations) and engaging in great conversations while preparing my breakfast. I went during the low season (june) and having the place basically for me was the best experience... there was another guest in the villa, but we met only once, so pool and facilities were all free which allowed me to really rest and enjoy my vacations.
