Beautiful resort grounds, lots of water sports (windsurfing, diving) & enjoyed the ping pong & giant chessboard. The pool was a great place to cool off n the shade. Rooms were spotless & very comfortable. The breakfast was great, as were the dinner options & woodfired pizza. Best of all was the friendly , helpful staff - they truly made our stay special!

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!

I had such a lovely stay! Sophia was incredibly warm, kind, and responsive from the moment I booked. She made me feel truly welcomed and at home. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests. Highly recommend her as a host! The room was clean, cozy, and exactly as pictured, peaceful, with a beautiful breeze and great lighting. I slept so well and felt safe throughout my stay.

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.
