The air-conditioned accommodation is 700 metres from Papa Remo Beach. Bio-Ken Snake Farm is 1.7 km away and Malindi Marine National Park is 18 km from the villa.

The staff at the resort were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable.The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities, and I especially appreciated the comfortable beds and pillows. The highlight for me was definitely the food - the resort has several on-site chefs that served us a variety of local cuisines, and every dish I tried was absolutely delicious. The resort also offered a range of activities and excursions for guests to enjoy, including snorkeling, diving,dhow rides,There is truly something for everyone here, whether you're looking for a relaxing beach vacation or an adventure-filled getaway. Overall, I highly recommend Rafiki Jua to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Watamu.

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a private pool, garden view and a balcony, Nadia&Ale House - Maisha Resort is situated in Watamu. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service.

A fairytale day! Upon arrival we were greeted by smiling staff who escorted us to our second floor apartment. Here we found ourselves on a huge balcony, where we then dined with a view of the pool and the starry sky. The apartment was perfect: clean and with a nice flower arrangement on the bed to welcome us. The location is fantastic: just cross the road to get to one of the most beautiful beaches in Watamu and in less than 5 minutes by motorbike or 15 on foot from the city center. In the staff there was even a cook, that based on our choice, made us a typical and cheap local dinner. To end our night we had a swim in the pool looking at the stars...a very special moment. We can only recommend Nadia & Ale house to everyone to be spoiled in a fabulous location.

Very peaceful in the evenings, even with the close vicinity of the hotels. Mohamed, our contact, was extremely helpful and managed to resolve the dew small issues that we had.
