Great place by a gorgeous beach. We stayed in Bling cottage which we absolutely loved. Huge, bright, airy room, equipped kitchen with owen and a big fridge. The kitchen and especially the bathroom might need a bit of renovation but still OK. We also had our private space outside the cottage, with the chairs and sun beds. Two-minute walk to the beach, also pool available. Better using lockers for the food, the cleaning lady left the door open during the cleaning and the monkeys had our mangos for lunch :) It is possible to have some meals at the reception/bar/restaurant, only be prepared it will probably take some time. For very good vegetarian food can recommend F Café, which is only about 10-15 minute walk. Whatever you need, Benjamin, the caretaker, is very kind and helpful.

Everyone was so kind! We had a wonderful stay. Love the pool. They even gave us a sample of dinner ribs to try they were amazing. Rooms cleaned daily and towels refreshed which we really appreciate. Comfortable bed and quality linens. The property is very charming. Grace was so sweet. Also Luciano was so pleasant whenever we saw him. We would comeback again when visiting Watamu. Loved being off the main rd in a local village. Very near a store, a lovely man selling eggs and even a salon for hair braiding. Quick walk up the road to catch a boda boda or Tuk Tuk. Garoda beach was our favorite

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.
