Rock and Sea Resort

Unbelievable unbelievable unbelievable. Honestly the most amazing experience and the worlds nicest staff. Best place in Watamu - do not miss it! From the moment we arrived to the end, everything was perfect. The food is incredible and fresh.

Sara and Staffano are super hosts, very tranquil place the “Glamping” in a bubble tent was a new experience. Loved it

We just returned after a stayed 3 nights at R&S . What an amazing experience ! Everything was perfect and beyond our expectations. Accommodation - the Bubble experience was surreal . Luckily we had some rain one day and watching it from the Bubble was awesome. We then transferred into the main suite ( Honeymoon) which was extra ordinary ! Very rustic but exceptionally spacious , high comfort levels and awesome views. Staff - the staff to guest ratio is generous so there was always someone available to attend to our needs. Nothing was too much trouble - we asked for massages and private yoga lessons and both were readily arranged. Food - as we are vegan we asked for speciality items like Tofu , Quinoa, humous , avocado etc . The chefs were very obliging and ensured all our needs were catered for. There are too many staff to individually mention but Jane on reception is most approachable and ensured all services were coordinated. Stefano the GM ( owner ) is forever available and extremely helpful and honest. Dhow safari - we took a day excursion which was very exciting and fun. Sadly we didn’t see dolphins but the snorkelling and swim in the sea was great. Overall - magical and truly boutique experience - beyond our expectations. We will definitely return and strongly recommend this place. Just book it !

We had booked 3 nights to end our honeymoon in Kenya and were impressed by the description, pictures and reviews online however the reality was very different. The rooms were dirty, there are rusty nails hanging out of the decking, the decking next to our suite was rotten, there are holes in the roof for monkeys to come in, the bed was infested with giant ants, there were holes in the mosquito nets and the staff are hostile and unfriendly. We were told that the reason for all of the above was that the hotel is an “eco lodge” which seemed dismissive of our concerns. When we eventually decided to leave a day early due to the multitude of problems (and the way the staff reacted when we raised them) the owner could be heard over the phone to the manager threatening that we needed to “keep quiet”. This hotel is in a beautiful setting and has the raw materials to be lovely but the maintenance/cleanliness of the rooms and the customer service left a lot to be desired, especially considering the price.

A lovely gem in Watamu...the owner and staff are very hospitable and one feels at home! There is so much to do whether you're alone or with kids. There's a saline pool (best ever) and a jacuzzi next to the pool next time the bar....this makes up for the lack of a beach where you can play. If you want a run on the beach, you get out to access the public beach. They have a boat that takes you to the other side of the beach where you can take a tuktuk to Watamu Village. Breakfast is included in the package and it's a la carte. The meals are okay, nothing to write home about. My favorite room is definitely the Imperial Banda (stunning ocean views) and the Baobab Bubble (on the mangrove)---actually each room has its specialty. The WiFi is excellent and works from anywhere in the resort.

On arrival we were greeted by Stefano, the owner, who gave a short brief of the day. We embarked on Pepo Huru and went to see the dolphins, great experience. Afterwards we went snorkeling and saw so many colorful fish. Lunch was served in the restaurant of Rock and Sea resort, the 4 course lunch was outstanding! The view from the restaurant is spectacular. In the afternoon we sailed thought the creek, took another swim, relaxed, saw the flamingos and the day ended with a beautiful sundowner. An activity not to miss while in Watamu.
