This place is very basic but it has a nice atmosphere and we enjoyed very much sleeping in the tree house, even with the outdoor toilet and shower :) Apart from the huge local breakfast, we had a chance to try freshly roasted cashew nuts and even to see the whole roasting process on the open fire. We also took a boat trip to the mangroves and motorbike trip to see the elephants coming from the forest to drink. Were very lucky to see 3 big herds taking turns at the water hole. The owner, Harrison, is a very nice person, I wish you and your family all the best, hope you will be able to keep improving the place as you like. Thank you!

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.

Italy
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.

This so great place! We liked everything! The room is so beautiful, there is so big and beautiful terrace, the view from the terrace! The breakfast and dinner were served to our private table outside of our room. We could enjoy the view and privacy and it felt like five stars hotel, when James cooked so delicious food. Breakfast was also excellent! You are already on the beach, when you open the gate from the garden. The owner Beba runs this place with big heart!
