Watamu Beach Cottages

Staff were friendly and helpful. The environment was just superb

Breakfast options were limited

Everything was perfect. Our cottage was great, the surroundings are beautiful, the beach is magical, staff is great. There is a kitesurf school right on the beach. Restaurants within walkable distance. Possibility to book amazing massages. Our kitchen had everything necessary. Tuktuk always available.

Some insects but you would expect it in the jungle !

The location is really amazing, it does not happen often to be so close to the beach! Our cottage was well furnished and had a nice vibe. We also ate at the restaurant a couple of times and we really loved the food, great chapati and vegetable samosas.

Unfortunately during our stay several robberies happened in the nearby cottages and this made us feel very unsafe. The doors and windows are not of good quality and may need improvement to prevent future robberies. Further, when we arrived only one guard was present at night (and only at the main entrance). Considering that the cottages have direct access to the beach, anyone may enter in the night without any problem. Luckily after what happened, they increased the number of guards. We do still believe that the cottage area should be better lightened and have better fences/gates. In any case, the staff (especially Benjamin) was kind and assured us that more guards would be present. Nevertheless, many of the other guests were not informed or warned, so we thought it was a bit of careless behavior.

Nous avons réservé la villa Topaz , tout était parfait le ménage était impeccable et réalisé tout les jours, la vue du balcon sur la mer est magnifique, accès rapide à une belle plage de sable blanc (et doux) idéal pour la pratique du sky surf (très venteux) Nous avons réservé une cuisinière par l’intermédiaire de l’hôtel qui était très agréable et compétente pour 20$ par semaine

Le restaurant sur place est bon mais un peu lent à servir Il n’y a pas de climatisation mais les ventilateurs suffisent Attention de bien fermer les portes pour éviter que les singes ne rentre dans la chambre
