Rafiki Tamu Residential Resort

Clean, spacious rooms & close to town center . Beautiful place

Limited options for breakfast( just eggs & pancakes). The male chef was not friendly.

Bellissimo resort molto controllato vicino al mare con il Tuk Tuk ci arrivi tranquillamente posto giusto per rilassarsi

Really relaxed place and a good environment to just chill . Rooms had tv , AC , cooking facilities . Hygiene was really good and staff are super nice.

WiFi wasn’t good

So relaxing. Spacious, clean and right next to the pool.

Breakfast was delicious, freshly prepared but inside your bungalow by the staff who come in. Not a criticism but for those who want more flexibility on breakfast just make sure you get some stuff in

Tutto... Naema e Simon super... Che ci preparavano la colazione la mattina.. ragazzi tutti gentili professionali e sempre sorridenti. Quando tornerò a watamu alloggerò solo al rafiki ..

Rafiki Tamu is a gem! From the moment you walk in, the landscaping is beautiful and the villas are large and spacious. If you are used to mod cons and lots of amenities, the rustic nature of the villas may take a few seconds to get used to, but this is what makes the villas so charming. The staff are undoubtedly the stars of this resort and need to be acknowledged. Their warmth, kindness, and hard-working nature is the best of the five hotels we have stayed in during our visit in Kenya. A big mention and appreciation to Louisa and Nelly our two chefs whose kindness, smiles and warm/caring service led to us extending our stay by a few days. Also, access to a daily laundry service is great!

The noise from the road, main gate and generator is disruptive at night if you are a light sleeper, and are in the front villas. We would not recommend the massage service offered on resort by an external supplier - not a great experience at all. It may also be useful for the resort to consider a family or adults or only section as the pools are small and many adults/couples etc. are often looking for quiet relaxation time, with children and families wanting to play, and the two don’t necessarily work around a small shared pool.
