The property is located next to the beach, easy to access to the beach, pool, bar and shower. Staff was extremely friendly and all were trying to make our stay comfortable. Food and drinks served in the bar were reasonably priced, fresh and tasty. Beds are comfortable, if you choose to stay in a room with AC, a good sleep is unavoidable.

Casa Maridadi is a tastefully decorated, well-equipped, luxurious and truly wonderful place to stay. It is close to the beautiful Papa Remo beach and restaurant, and the rest of Watamu is easily accessible by tuk-tuk or car, which you can call up easily. There's an excellent swimming pool 1 minute away. Ash the host and Winnie the housekeeper on site are friendly, responsive and helpful. Watamu is an interesting a lovely place to be on holiday - our highlights were the beach, the food, the snake farm, the crab shack in the mangrove forest and the Gede Ruins.

Very beautiful house with pool overlooking the sea. We enjoyed the huge terrace, half-covered so that we could spend our days in the shade. The design of the whole place is exceptional and both the host and staff were adorable.

Pole Pole Beach House is literally a minute from the beach with easy access. The staff were delightful and very very helpful (even got me a motor bike to town whose rider was equally pleasant). I'd like to single out Safari, who was a most generous aimiable and helpful host. When I dropped my phone in his car on my way to the airport, he very kindly came back to bring it to me. I had a nice room with a balcony from where you could see the ocean. I had a really really lovely stay.

We stayed in the beach cottage, which is in a wonderful spot right on the beach, with an amazing view of the sea. The house is charming, and Chef Mo made us a fabulous curry with chapatis! We hope to get a chance to go back one day.

breakfasts were great, freshly made each morning. The location and staff were superb and very helpful, the rooms were cleaned and tidied every day and the AC was the best (I moved to an expensive villa after a few days with AC and it was much worse, I missed the cottages AC!). The shower was always warm if needed (I usually had it cold),mosquito nets for the bed and window which was perfect. The location is the best aspect, it's right on the beach

I love the location - perfect spot for beach holiday and not too fair-away from Watamu - yes the road is not perfect but for me it was part of my Kenya experience :-) They are a few very good restaurant on the beach and Safari was always very helpful , he even took as to a local church which was amazing experience ! I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to relax and learn a bit about the locals , the location is very safe . Pole Pole

This is a very nice and affordable resort to stay in Watamu, for a relaxing beach holiday. We particularly enjoyed the room size and the two pool areas. The staff are also amazing and the breakfast is really good. Very nice location right on the beach just where the best place to swim is, and it's easy to find transport to nearby restaurants etc.
