Perfect place to stay if you are not looking for a noisy resort holiday stay. This is a place to relax. Staff was always ready with a smile to help you with all your needs. Structure is new, rooms are big and very clean. It is close to the beach and swimming pool was great after a day outside. We used the personal chef and I can assure you top service. I would surely recommend it.

I spent just one night at Tawi Elegant Rooms in Watamu, but it was enough to leave me with a truly wonderful memory! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with a warm smile and great kindness by the owner, Gisella, who was always available and attentive to every need. The staff was amazing – friendly, professional, and always ready to go the extra mile to make guests feel comfortable and cared for. The property is beautifully maintained, in a peaceful and convenient location, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the unique charm of Watamu. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I will definitely come back for more nights in this little paradise. Congratulations to the whole team!

The house was great with everything you need to feel comfortable and even some extras (outside shower, sitting area with mangrove view. The garden is paradise with lizards, crabs, flowers etc. Everything is beautifully maintained and the housekeeper was nearby in case of any incidents or questions. And of course the proximity to the beach and mangrove was great.

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
