Very decent resort, stayed at the house, the lounge too small, bedrooms are ok, the showers oh dear they need work the water trickles down, kitchen needs work, lacks utensils!the pool is practical, very tranquil a place! so cool in the mist of the Watamu heat, super close to the beach,beautiful beach I might add & Willies restaurant & bar & many other eateries...Stuff’s alright, Joseph is more than helpful better than the indifferent manager! I’d visit again but sure hope they fix the showers!

Money was stolen from my safe. There is a safe in the room and you can rent a key. But do not do this in any case. Not all of it was stolen, but part of the money. I didn't call the police because I was in a hurry to catch a train. In the end, the administrator started claiming that I had spent it and didn't remember. At the same time, they have a camera that allows you to see who entered the room when I was away. I don't know if there's a camera in the backyard, since the room can also be accessed from the street. Considering that security guards have been monitoring the entrance to the courtyard all day, I can confidently say that someone from the staff stole the money.

Great place! Best to take a room with aircon as it is hot at the Kenyan coast. But they have good fans otherwise. We loved the pool, the fresh coconuts, the great breakfast on the beautiful terrace. And it is very close to a beautiful beach

We had an amazing stay here! The property is beautiful with cool hangout areas scattered around, some with sea views if you climb upstairs. Rooms were large, comfortable and had hot showers. Location excellent and staff wonderful. Beautiful pool and short walk to the beach and lots of shops and restaurants. They were kind enough to let us leave our bakkie parked there for a few days while we flew to Lamu in exchange for a staff tip at our discretion. However there is very limited parking so be sure to ask in advance if this is possible. Highly recommend!

A small paradise 300m from the beach. Beautiful resort, nicely decorated, with a clean pool and very friendly staff. Unbeatable value for money for the rooms, even though breakfast and other food options are expensive. The room was compact but had a nice outdoor patio to relax. It's out of the main road, but really close to the beach. Highly recommended.
