    I love love love this place. The houses are magical, everything is well thought out and arranged. From the sitting area to the bedrooms straight to the pool which is absolutely stunning 😍. The reception from the lady who handles all reservations is warm, thoughtful and I appreciate her for all the above. I hope they got a new cot for smaller babies. Other than that 10/10. There is a chef and her team who made us meals everyday for us ( shopped for us as well) staff who cleaned the house everyday and you might say ooh that's bare minimum but for me it's the little things that make people feel welcome. Thank you Rafiki Tamu-Jua Resort for giving us an awesome holiday!! Go see the rest yourself!!!

    In Watamu, this is a great place to stay and enjoy yourself. The staff is consistently friendly, helpful, and polite. Everything is quiet, the pool is fantastic, and everything is spotlessly clean. Our housekeeper prepared breakfast for us every morning, cleaned the apartment, did the laundry, and kept everything tidy. We definitely recommend this accommodation.

    INCREDIBLE place! We had the most relaxing and comfortable stay ever in this wonderful resort. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Special shout out to Jonathan who cooked us breakfast and drove us to Malindi! The heated pool the spacious, air conditioned place ticked all our boxes ... we couldn’t have asked. Thoroughly recommend!
