Beautiful, clean apartment with amazing chef
Extremely nice apartments and apartment area with swimming pool! The layout and design was beautiful and comfortable. Apartment was clean and spacious. The pool and sunbed area was super nice and clean, with an outdoor shower. A real highlight of the stay was the chef service, with our amazing chefs Jackline and Charol making wonderful food!! They were so nice and their company really heightened our experience during our stay. All in all we were very happy with the apartment.
There was an issue with the fridge from the beginning, which caused a lot of the food we had bought to go bad as it was not properly cold. The owners replaced the fridge, which was great, but due to the short duration of our stay, this was a bit of a bother. Especially since we had a family member with an egg allergy and there were no egg free alternatives for breakfast, and the reception was hesitant to offer anything else, so it would have been convenient to have a working fridge so we could have provided more breakfast options ourselves.
We also had problems with the electricity, with full outages our two last nights, which no one can control, but it made the fridge warm again, and obviously the AC didn't work.
Before the outages, the AC in one of the bedrooms would also turn on and off incessantly during the night, waking us up with the beep, I think also due to unstable electricity, although the other bedroom didn't have this problem.

Amazing place in a great location with special people
A fairytale day! Upon arrival we were greeted by smiling staff who escorted us to our second floor apartment. Here we found ourselves on a huge balcony, where we then dined with a view of the pool and the starry sky.
The apartment was perfect: clean and with a nice flower arrangement on the bed to welcome us.
The location is fantastic: just cross the road to get to one of the most beautiful beaches in Watamu and in less than 5 minutes by motorbike or 15 on foot from the city center.
In the staff there was even a cook, that based on our choice, made us a typical and cheap local dinner.
To end our night we had a swim in the pool looking at the stars...a very special moment.
We can only recommend Nadia & Ale house to everyone to be spoiled in a fabulous location.

Upendo House: un posto in cui sentirsi davvero a casa
Il nostro soggiorno alla Upendo House del Rafiki Tamu Resort di Watamu è stata una di quelle esperienze che è difficile definire semplicemente una vacanza. Ci siamo sentiti accolti in una casa bellissima, in cui ogni dettaglio ci ha fatto stare bene e ci ha permesso di vivere il soggiorno con una sensazione di assoluto relax e di autentica tranquillità.
La casa è semplicemente splendida. È estremamente spaziosa e confortevole, con due camere grandi, due bagni attrezzatissimi, una bellissima cucina e soprattutto uno spazio esterno meraviglioso, dove abbiamo potuto mangiare, rilassarci, stare a bordo piscina e goderci pienamente la bellezza e la pace del luogo.
La piscina è bellissima e l’abbiamo utilizzata tantissimo. Una delle cose che abbiamo apprezzato di più è stata la tranquillità: c’era sempre pochissima gente, tanto che spesso sembrava quasi di avere una piscina privata tutta per noi. Abbiamo potuto nuotare liberamente tutte le volte che volevamo, in un’atmosfera davvero piacevole.
La posizione è altrettanto fantastica. La casa è vicinissima al mare e le spiagge di Watamu sono semplicemente meravigliose, con colori incredibili e paesaggi che cambiano continuamente. Ci sono diverse spiagge da visitare e, a seconda delle maree, ognuna assume un fascino completamente diverso. È stato bellissimo esplorarle e scoprire ogni volta un angolo nuovo.
Un ringraziamento speciale va a Gaetano, il proprietario della casa, che ci ha dato consigli davvero eccezionali. Ci ha indicato le spiagge più belle da visitare, i posti migliori dove mangiare e dove fare un aperitivo e ci ha anche fornito contatti preziosi per le escursioni. Grazie ai suoi suggerimenti abbiamo scoperto luoghi meravigliosi anche lontano dal mare, come le affascinanti rovine di Gede e la splendida escursione in canoa tra le mangrovie di Mida Creek.
