Tiago Portugal

Absolutely magnificent experience. We loved it and embraced the experience of living within a kenyan village and it was very co-rewarding. Thanks for everything harrisson and keep going!

The staff at the resort were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable.The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities, and I especially appreciated the comfortable beds and pillows. The highlight for me was definitely the food - the resort has several on-site chefs that served us a variety of local cuisines, and every dish I tried was absolutely delicious. The resort also offered a range of activities and excursions for guests to enjoy, including snorkeling, diving,dhow rides,There is truly something for everyone here, whether you're looking for a relaxing beach vacation or an adventure-filled getaway. Overall, I highly recommend Rafiki Jua to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Watamu. The combination of stunning natural scenery, excellent service, and fantastic food make it a top-notch resort that I can't wait to visit again. 👌🌊🏊‍♀️🌴🍽️

Location was good, although not very close to the beach. The close proximity to the swimming pool made an attractive alternative. A social and friendly environment, staff were extremely helpful.

I loved the spacious clean and beautifully decorated living areas with two very comfortable day beds with big cushions to relax into after exciting outings into Watamu or the idyllic Papa Remo beach and restaurant nearby. I loved being a stones throw from another wonderful restaurant for freshly squeezed juices, amazing coffees and meals. I loved sleeping contained in a four poster bed with netting keeping dodos out with the breeze and fan. I slept deeply every night. I loved swimming in the salt swimming pool that was deliciously cool in the heat of the day and at the same time warm first thing in the morning and at night. I loved how the grounds of the house were contained and beautifully cared for with mature frangipani trees and tropical flowers. We were cared for so kindly by Haloua who made our beds and washed our clothes and cleaned for us. We hired a cook who shopped and cooked incredible meals. I loved the fact that we were in a private domestic home environment and not a resort as we could feel very at home and we were welcomed so warmly. Aisha and Santiago are lovely people with so much generosity and kindness and they shared so much inside knowledge about the area that really informed our decisions and helped our orientation arriving in this magical area. They give us our own WiFi routers so we could seamlessly work from home or the beach. They knew all the wonderful places to see and visit which even in a month there’s still more on the list to see next time! They took us on safari in the huge forest nearby and to only known to locals a beautiful beach with white sands and incredible corals underwater. Aisha introduced us to the market stalls and abundant vegetable and fruit sellers. They helped us tune into the local economy so we understand prices. This is my favourite place in the planet !

The house is beautiful, well decorated and fully functional. The host Margherita and the staff were very kind and helpful. The homemade breakfast was super tasty and the pool a nice touch.

Excellent location for tranquility and a very good beach within walking distance. All the food provided by the chef was EXCEPTIONAL! The grounds and pool were very well maintained. Peaceful, charming and very well managed. We had the room right at the top, so you'd have to be nimble!

A fairytale day! Upon arrival we were greeted by smiling staff who escorted us to our second floor apartment. Here we found ourselves on a huge balcony, where we then dined with a view of the pool and the starry sky. The apartment was perfect: clean and with a nice flower arrangement on the bed to welcome us. The location is fantastic: just cross the road to get to one of the most beautiful beaches in Watamu and in less than 5 minutes by motorbike or 15 on foot from the city center. In the staff there was even a cook, that based on our choice, made us a typical and cheap local dinner. To end our night we had a swim in the pool looking at the stars...a very special moment. We can only recommend Nadia & Ale house to everyone to be spoiled in a fabulous location.

We loved the place from the moment we arrived! It's a beautiful house with 4 bedrooms (we stayed on the main floor) a few steps from the beach. Very comfy rooms with king bed size and exquisite design. Staff is very friendly and helpful :) Besides the accommodation i'd like to do a special mention to the food&beverage services: breakfast was fantastic, delicious and complete. We also had some meals at Beba's and I highly recommend to stay in and enjoy the menu, everything we ordered was delectable! The chef is really really good!
