"It was okay. Do better with the breakfast incase someone pays for bed and breakfast"

8.0

The house was clean and looked new

We paid for bed and breakfast The breakfast was a let down with no chef. The person that made the breakfast was not professional and it felt like she was a second choice

"A lovely oasis to return to after the bustle of Watamu"

9.0

The development of self contained units is well designed and works well. It is essentially self catering, but you can have a chef prépare some or all your meals for $20 a day. The apartments and pool are spotless and the staff wonderfully helpful. If there’s anything wrong it’s fixed in minutes. It’s about a 10-15 minute walk to the beach and 2 good bar/restaurants and less than that to a shopping mall with a food store and a cafe/restaurant.

The only problem we had was the mattress which was too hard for us. We got around it by adding sofa mattresses on top. The staff were concerned and very cooperative. One other point - Booking.com has its name wrong. Its name is Rafiki Tamu!

"I highly recommended apartments residence !"

10.0

We booked a week at the Rafiki Jua in Watamu, precisely the Rafiki Jua is located inside the Rafiki Tamu, a brand new residence consisting of several apartments (The structure looks like in the photos). Rafiki Tamu is a modern and new structure located exactly halfway between Watamu center and the beautiful beach of Sardinia 2. Our apartment was on the ground floor, overlooking the pool, consisting of dining room with kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. All nicely decorated with a fantastic African style. Inside the structure the entire staff is super helpful, consisting of receptionists, security, cleaning and laundry service (included in the price), masseuses at a very competitive price, chef (available to prepare breakfasts, lunches and dinners). For those who do not want to experience a village I highly recommend Rafiki.

The wi-fi connection does not work very well, often the connection was low and slow

Spacious rooms, great outside area and pool.

The only thing stopping it getting a 10 is the really bumpy access road.

"Simply Magical!"

10.0

The staff at the resort were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable.The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities, and I especially appreciated the comfortable beds and pillows. The highlight for me was definitely the food - the resort has several on-site chefs that served us a variety of local cuisines, and every dish I tried was absolutely delicious. The resort also offered a range of activities and excursions for guests to enjoy, including snorkeling, diving,dhow rides,There is truly something for everyone here, whether you're looking for a relaxing beach vacation or an adventure-filled getaway. Overall, I highly recommend Rafiki Jua to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Watamu. The combination of stunning natural scenery, excellent service, and fantastic food make it a top-notch resort that I can't wait to visit again. 👌🌊🏊‍♀️🌴🍽️
