  • cleanliness
    Enjoy a Kenyan retreat by the sea at this beachfront resort in Watamu.
"It was a great place to stay at. Perfect views and attentive staff. I would give this place a 5 star. However, our booking for changed when we arrived. We wanted a cottage (we had 2 kids and booked a cottage) but instead got 2 separate rooms. While this looks in the face value as an upgrade, it was to the detriment of our family union and stay together. Other than that, it was a great place to stay and I'd stay here again! "
