    Beautiful beach of kenya in watamu jacaranda. This is the place where you will find the Simba wa Kale, a small luxury hotel overlooking the Indian Ocean.

    There is no place like Simba wa Kale! This place is magical! The service, the owner of the hotel, this unique boutique and this wonderful interior, just everything is absolutely on point. We spent a week there and were pleasantly surprised every day anew. So much attention to detail & so incredibly attentive! This resort is definitely worth a visit. We will be back and can hardly wait. Thank you for everything!!!

    Beautiful space, best in Jacaranda. Design elements all on point. You can rent day beds and enjoy good food and drinks at the resto/bar. One small improvement; the space should have music to match it, at times they play great lounge music, but at others a vibe that totally doesn't fit the space.

    Extremely disappointed. My partner booked a day at the beach club for us and we were blatantly ignored by staff. The owners were standing in the lobby screaming into walkie talkies to the staff who were running around practically distraught trying to cater to a VIP. During lunch water was delivered with no glasses, we waited 20 minutes for a fork, items we ordered were never delivered and the food (we ordered 3 dishes from different menu sections) lacked basic seasoning like salt and pepper. My partner had emailed ahead letting them know he was planning our proposal which we ended up doing. When I asked the waiter for 2 glasses of sparkling wine because we were just engaged he said “sorry sorry.” If you aren’t Italian or a celebrity you will regret your visit.
