Perfect location, very safe area, super easy access to the beach. The house is well equipped and constantly taken care of. You will feel like home. The owner is a very kind and super helpful person. There is not a single negative thing I could think of.

We booked a week at the Rafiki Jua in Watamu, precisely the Rafiki Jua is located inside the Rafiki Tamu, a brand new residence consisting of several apartments (The structure looks like in the photos). Rafiki Tamu is a modern and new structure located exactly halfway between Watamu center and the beautiful beach of Sardinia 2. Our apartment was on the ground floor, overlooking the pool, consisting of dining room with kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. All nicely decorated with a fantastic African style. Inside the structure the entire staff is super helpful, consisting of receptionists, security, cleaning and laundry service (included in the price), masseuses at a very competitive price, chef (available to prepare breakfasts, lunches and dinners). For those who do not want to experience a village I highly recommend Rafiki.

Gorgeous and comfortable apartment with a nice swilling pool. Restaurants and the beach are close but the resort itself is relaxed and calm. The staff is really amazing and is ready to help at any time and it's possible to hire a chef with excellent cooking skills if you want to enjoy a meal at your own apartment. The communication with the owner was also very good.

It is nearly impossible to describe our lovely time at Chris House. The house is very beautiful and always clean, and the staff were exceptional and very helpful. It felt like home ( a gorgeous one). The house is close to the main road, the beach is close by - literally like 5 minutes walk. Chef Ndume made us very tasty meals. The host was always available on call and via chat and our requests were always honoured. We truly appreciate Giovanna for her kindness and the warm welcome to Chris House. I would recommend Chris House to anyone visiting Watamu. It was truly worth it. <3

Great place to stay and relax and enjoy. The rooms were comfortable with great beds and nicely appointed bathrooms. Spent most of our time hanging out by the pool or under the expansive balcony just reading and relaxing.Although there were other Villas we were the only ones there for much of the time so felt we had the place to ourselves. The chef was AMAZING. He prepared breakfast and dinner for us and we loved every meal. He clearly enjoyed what he was doing and we loved eating what he cooked! Easy to get into Watamu village and great walks along the beach and surrounding tracks.

I liked the bedrooms and kitchen the most. I disliked the balcony missing hang lines and chairs. I recommend the swimming pool to have fresh water.
