Watamu – Strandleigur

Jean-François Belgía

The closeness with the nature is super, and it is a very nice place to stay to experience something different than a basic hotel. Also the kindness of the owner is making the stay even more enjoyable. And last but not least, the breakfast is excellent

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.

The two-bedroom villa is just amazing. The views, amenities, staff, room service, the boss. Everything was top notch and I would totally recommend it for any stay.

This so great place! We liked everything! The room is so beautiful, there is so big and beautiful terrace, the view from the terrace! The breakfast and dinner were served to our private table outside of our room. We could enjoy the view and privacy and it felt like five stars hotel, when James cooked so delicious food. Breakfast was also excellent! You are already on the beach, when you open the gate from the garden. The owner Beba runs this place with big heart!

Very engaging hosts, and beautiful pool and house. Easy to get around, and just a short walk from most wonderful beach. Highly recommendable.
