Rafiki Village, hotel in Watamu

Located in Watamu in the Coast Region Region, 1 km from Watamu town, Rafiki Village boasts an outdoor pool and sun terrace. Certain units include a seating area to relax in after a busy day.

We really enjoyed our stay, tha staff was very kind, welcoming and friendly. Everything was clean and tidy and the pool was great. There was no problem with checking-in early as we had to arrive sooner than planned because of bad weather. Breakfast prepared fresh at the time of your request were a nice touch. As our plane was leaving mid afternoon the staff was kind enough to let as stay at the area, even after the check in, until we had to leave for the plane. 5/5 would recommend.

Temple Point Resort, hotel in Watamu

Temple Point Resort is located in Watamu Marine National Park at the junction of the Mida Creek and Indian Ocean.

We had an incredible stay at Temple Point in Watamu, Kenya. From the moment we arrived the service was outstanding. The first person we met was Carol at reception, who was so warm and welcoming. She made us feel right at home and was always easy to communicate with whenever we had needed anything. Our first day was filled with fun thanks to Nardos who was our tour guide. He kept us laughing and was a great explainer during our local tour activity. We also had a fantastic Tuktuk driver throughout our stay, and I highly recommend reaching out to him when you're in Watamu. A special shoutout to Captain Sam who made our sunset boat cruise unforgettable! Be sure to make a reservation for his dhow cruise; you can find him on Instagram at Captian_Sammy_Dhow. We also had an amazing experience at the gym where we met Daniel one of the staff members. He was incredibly friendly and helpful and motivating my boyfriend during his workouts and providing personalized tips. If you're looking for a supportive personal trainer definitely seek him out! Every staff member including our airport drivers made us feel welcome and ensured we were satisfied with our stay. The environment was clean, our rooms were comfortable and the service was excellent. The food was delicious especially breakfast where Chef Gabriel made a special egg dish that we both loved. The spa was fantastic and relaxing, We enjoyed it. I highly recommend Temple Point to anyone planning to visit Watamu. You won't be disappointed!
