Amazing location and stunning views of the creek. The private beach is a big plus. Free boat shuttle across the creek is a bonus. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. We ordered octopus and fish from the local fishermen and the chef made a delicious meal just for us. Great activities offered by the hotel. Highly recommend the tubing!

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.

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.

Amazing hotel, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. Just beautiful, like in the pictures. Decorated with an eye for detail and aesthetic. Dinner exceeded our expectations, was extraordinary. Also the setting of the dinner was super nice and romantic, we really enjoyed just staying in the hotel and having dinner there. Manny, the owner of the hotel, also puts effort into having a chat with his guests, which we really appreciated and just made the whole experience more personal. Location was ideal for us as kitesurfers, not far from Geroda beach.

There was the option to use a boat for transport to the opposite shore, adding a touch of adventure. Hotel's intimate atmosphere and personalized service made for a cozy retreat.
