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. The highlight for me was definitely the food - the resort has several on-site chefs that served us a variety of local cuisines, and every dish I tried was absolutely delicious. The resort also offered a range of activities and excursions for guests to enjoy, including snorkeling, diving,dhow rides,There is truly something for everyone here, whether you're looking for a relaxing beach vacation or an adventure-filled getaway.

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.

Beautiful place, quiet, like a small paradise. Friendly staff. Around 20 minutes walk to the beautiful beach of Garoda, where u don't have such big tides. So u can swim from morning to the sunset. The house is big, super clean and comfortable. 3 lovely dogs of the owner made our stay even better. The pool is cleaned every morning. So after all day in the beach , evening swimming in the pool is a blessing. Always hot and cold water in the shower. Equipped kitchen. Good WiFi, but I anyway suggest everyone to buy a local SIM. Area is very green.Safe and quite around. Veggies and fruits u can buy from locals not far from the house. Good quality and cheap prices. As it was hot in January and humid we always took a motorbike to go to and from the beach and around the area. It's cool and I would say a safe way to explore. In case u will need a contact call Ya 0712 021250. He is a trustworthy and kind person, who is always available with his motorbike. As well u can use tuk tuk, contacts u Will find in info paper in the house. Jane is lovely, and gave us good tips about the area. We felt like home away from home. And now being back home we miss a lot Kenya and the house.
