All in all we had a fabulous stay in Watamu. Nicholas, our caretaker, was unbelievable! So attentive. Despite the wonderful care we received, our niece had a horrible experience. She had ordered lunch for us and had it delivered to the resort. When the boda delivered our food, the driver was verbally abusive to our niece because he thought he deserved more money. He started yelling insults at her and wouldn’t give her the order. All the while the management and security guard just stood by and watched the entire interaction not interceding whatsoever. This was very bothersome to us. She was very upset by the altercation and we were extremely disappointed by the management and security guard’s lack of help with this situation.

I have the pleasure of writing this review because I have just returned from an extraordinary trip, made even more magical thanks to my stay in this facility, I can say that both the services and the place are truly excellent. The structure is new and well looked after, you feel welcomed with every request and looked after for every need. The staff is qualified and kind. Thanks to all the staff and especially to Massimo, for his advice and availability.

"Our holiday is over and with great sadness I leave these beautiful places, but I will take with me an indelible memory, thanks to you. First of all, warm thanks to the owners of the splendid NAKUPENDA HOUSE, my cousin Maurizio and his wife Tiziana, for giving me the opportunity to spend these days in this wonderful land. All the staff at RAFIKI TAMU JUA were exceptional, I can confirm that hospitality is sacred here. You were unparalleled and our stay with you was wonderful and unforgettable. We appreciated very much the quality of the cuisine, thanks to our chefs Prince and Freddy; the cleanliness of the rooms and outdoor spaces (garden and swimming pool). We were lucky to have had you with us. You made us feel welcome, for which we are infinitely grateful to you and we thank you very much for all the attention you have dedicated to us. Forgetting Kenya and its people will be difficult. In conclusion I can say that doing nothing is a wonderful occupation and I can advise you to never go on holiday with someone who does not do you love. Thank you, thank you, thank you all."

We stayed at Rafiki Tamu for 2 nights, the structure is brand new, a very nice swimming pool, our Villa was furnished in a super modern style. Super helpful staff. Upon arrival they welcomed us with a plate of fresh fruit, really good! It was close to every local interest. I would definitely go back!!!

Sono stata in questo resort durante il mio soggiorno a Watamu, nello specifico avevamo prenotato Cakuki House. Ci siamo innamorati a prima vista. Posto meraviglio, in completo relax, pulito o con un personale magnifico. Durante il nostro soggiorno abbiamo usufruito dello chef privato che ci ha preparato dei piatti deliziosi ogni giorno (grazie Karen!!). Una vera oasi di pace. Super consigliato!

Dietro ad una muraglia bianca che impedisce di vedere all'interno si nascondono questi appartamenti da mille e una notte. Abbiamo soggiornato per 5 giorni ad un prezzo veramente irrisorio al Jua Resort in una villa serviti e riveriti da del personale locale disponibilissimo, molto gentile e pronto per ogni richiesta. Possibilità di avere una cuoca ( a pagamento ) che ti prepara qualsiasi cosa sia di tuo gradimento. Una volta comunicato l'orario della colazione, questa viene servita in casa. A pochissimi passi a piedi c'è il rettilario (Snake farm) che consiglio; mi sembra costi qualcosa come 1000/1500 scellini a testa ma ne vale veramente la pena. Ogni mattina alle 11 fanno vedere la procedura di estrazione del veleno.
