Pole Pole Beach House
Ranked in Best Beach Resorts in Watamu
About
Close to beautiful Jacaranda beach with a well-maintained pool and lots of activities provided. Rooms need more love and renovation, but the location is great. Low season brings construction work around the residence.

What I loved about the place is that it's close to the beach, and the pool is also well maintained. The rooms need more love and renovation, but the beach house is okay. Lots of activities provided and a capable chef. It's a good place to escape the city and managed by friendly people.

It was a lovely stay but the low season was coming with a lot of works around the residence. We mostly enjoyed the pool because of the beach boys in the area

We stay in the house for 4 nights with our 2 years old son. The house location is great, very close to the beautiful Jacaranda beach. The house also have a pool to be used for all guests. The living room is very convenient, with a smart tv where our son could watch tv in the end of the day. The room is a bit small and the bathroom was the low point of the house: beside of being small it is completely wet after one shower. We also had Leakage one day. The lady who works in the house and cooks the breakfast is very nice, Esther. She also cooked our dinner for an extra cost of 10 euros a day (we providing the food of course). Her food was delicious! The reason for the low rate is the owner: From the first day there was a confusion Becouse he renting a room already occupied and we were supposed to change rooms in the second day. After that everyday we had to complain about something in the breakfast: no fruits one day, no coffe another day... anyway isn’t not the kind of inconvenient you want to have in there during your vacation.

Excellent place. very clean rooms, awesome ocean view, clean swimming pool tho its not favourable for children and beginner swimmers.Excellent service from staff. Everyone is friendly. The beach has few people and is cleaned.it felt like our own private beach! Some good sea restaurants near the beach. A place worth returning to

Polepole is just step away from the most Beautiful white sand beach in Kenya! Great kite spot for beginners and safe Ocean for small children . People here from the owner Peter, manager safari and staff are very helpful from anything you may need. The place is very nice clean and breakfast always fresh, delicious seafood! The bed is very comfortable, the house is located in the Beautiful garden compound where safe and quiet, both ends have 24/7 security. Highly recommended when you in Kenya, jacaranda beach is must visit.
