We absolutely loved the place! It is a truly peaceful place where you can be completely free and enjoy your time. It is covered in the jungle garden giving a great connection to nature - monkeys are jumping around the trees, lizards running around, and butterflies landing on the flowers. Direct beach access, a nice refreshing pool under the canopy, plenty of secluded places to chill in hammocks and sunbeds. Very family-friendly. Fantastic hosts and good rooms with AC. It is a windsurfing beach and no beach boys are harassing you. We loved every minute of our stay and will try to visit again.

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.

Although unconventionally located, it didn't detract from this amazing stay at all. The staff very friendly, helpful, kind and ready to fulfill your last wish. The villa is amply equipped with everything you may need during your stay. Including reliable wi-fi connection, Netflix etc. It's a quiet location within easy reach of the beach as well as restaurants, shops, banks too. I definitely recommend this accommodation!

The accommodations were pristine, offering ample space and a luxurious bed fit for royalty. The air conditioning worked flawlessly, ensuring our comfort throughout our stay. Our taste buds were tantalized by the delectable meals, with the tangy tamarind juice and succulent pork chops quickly becoming our favourites. And let's not forget the delightful English breakfasts enjoyed each morning against the backdrop of a breathtaking sea view. I'm definitely coming back.

The hotel was beautiful and set in a serene location surrounded by nature and a beautiful creek. All the staff were very friendly and willing to accommodate our needs and special requests. The facilities at the hotel were great, a lovely pool, sufficient downtime areas and lots of activities to complete. Whilst the location was out of the way of Watamu, the staff made all of the accommodations to ensure we were well connected, including the regular boot across and arranging transportations whilst we were at the other side.

Our stay at this accommodation has been exceptional from beginning to end. The location is amazing, right across from a paradise beach and near to hotels and restaurants. Its also next to the new Non Solo Padel Club which was super convenient for me who I love playing padel :) There is a very peaceful outside area with swimming pool that we enjoyed a lot. The house was very clean and the hosts gave us so many tips to move around. We would love to come back!

We stayed in the tents. Loved the feeling of being in our own little forest with monkeys and birds all around. Open air shower is so refreshing. Not a far walk to the most amazing beach. Think its a brilliant idea with different kinds of accommodations available for different budgets and preferences. The Snackbar was wonderful. Stanley and his team really makes amazing food.
