Zuri Luxe 1BR apartment- Silversands Beach Malindi

JaniRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Huoneisto oli kuvatun mukainen ja todella siisti ja puhdas. Taloudenhoitaja Linnet teki päivittäin todella siistiä jälkeä ja oli muutenkin avulias ja huomaavainen. Hän kävi aamun ja illoin tervehtimässä ja varmistamassa, että kaikki on hyvin. Myös omistajan kanssa viestittäminen oli nopeaa ja sujuvaa, ja myös hän oli ystävällinen ja avulias. Mahdollisiin ongelmiin reagoitiin todella nopeasti. Rakennuksen ulkoasu antaa huonon ensivaikutelman, mutta älä anna sen hämätä, sillä kyseinen asunto on todella hyvä ja siisti. Olimme huoneistossa yli viikon ja voimme todella suositella Trizahin asuntoa.

Malindi Ocean Breeze Apartment

MaryRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Tills place was out of this world, really beautiful, the place looked better than in the photos, the kitchen had all the necessary amenities, the housekeeper Dickson is great and helpful. Till and Irene communicate proactively. They are also kind and professional. The place is just by the beach. The swimming pool is great and heated during the night. The beddings are clean. The hot shower works well. The mosquito net does magic. The place ìs on a road with so many places to visit and restraunts. You get to experience both italian cuisines and local kenyan meals. Check in and check out were really smooth.

We had a wonderful holiday at Dhow House. A great location, only a few minutes walk from the beach. Kids loved the pool and using the top deck for meals was also special! Thanks

Escape to The Beach House - Your Private Paradise!

CraigRating, 5 stars9 months ago
This is our 5th visit to The Beach House. We keep coming back for a bunch of reasons. Rehema, Ali and the rest of the staff are the best. The location right on the water with perfect views is unbeatable. Communication with Rory is consistently great. The top porch is some of my favorite square footage on the planet. And … have I mentioned how terrific Rehema is?

Nyumba Ya Madau - Stunning Beach Villa in Watamu

MilanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This is a wonderful home and we had a fabulous time. We came as 2 families of 4 (from London) + grandparents (from Nairobi) - so 10 of us in total. The house is beautiful - very charming and comfortable - and spills out onto the beach (via a private gated entrance). The kids loved playing in the small private pool and having daily walks out onto the reef in low-tide. The stretch of coastline the house is on is idyllic - about 20 min drive from Watamu town. The chef and staff are very attentive. We're all vegetarian and they handled that pretty well (though naturally they're more accustomed to a meat/seafood menu). As a family/group holiday venue, this is highly recommended.

Nyumba Yulia

DominiqueRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We’ve just had a great 10 day stay at Nyumba Yulia! The highlight for us and our kids was the amazing pool which was very well kept! We loved that it was a quick stroll to the beach - which is quite busy, but great at low tide for the kids- lots of rock pools to wander around and beautiful shallow water to wallow in. The house is in quite a built up area of Watamu so expect some noise and people as you step outside. The staff were lovely and helpful but not always discrete. Other small things we appreciated- block out curtains, aircons (definitely needed), outdoor shower. Easy enough to Tuk Tuk around, and overall a wonderful restful holiday for us!

Shell House, Watamu, Apartment & beach & garden

AnnaRating, 5 stars13 months ago
My parents and I had an absolutely lovely time at Shell House. Kevin, the chef, was amazing, and Mercy, the housekeeper, was very sweet. Helga was extremely communicative throughout, even being a great help during a check-in at 4AM online, as well as giving tons of recommendations. The location is lovely - it's a bit off from the rest of Watamu but connected to a beach with some small bars. One thing to know is that it's not the best ocean swimming spot as there are lots of blowfish and sea urchins and it's shallow. But the lovely salt-water pool made up for it! There's a generator in the property so power always comes back on quickly and the Wifi worked very well. Overall, we had a fantastic time. Thank you!!

Malindi Home with a View

GeorgRating, 5 stars13 months ago
Linda's Appartement sieht wirklich so aus, wie auf den Bildern, je nach Tide ist das Meer vielleicht dreißig Meter vom Balkon, der eher ein "Wintergarten" ist, komisches Wort bei stets 33°😊 Linda und Jemima, die Hilfe vor Ort sind immer gut zu erreichen, super nett und sehr flexibel, etwa mit dem Check Out. Die Anlage hat einen riesigen Pool und kein Restaurant, was entsprechend angenehme Ruhe beschert. 100m nach links ist die Coco Bär mit typischen Gerichten und Getränken, hundert Meter nach rechts Mariposa, ein Resort das sich italienischen Gästen und italienischer Küche widmet, in Laufweite auch weitere Restaurants und "Sehenswürdigkeiten". Durch das Appartement weht eine angenehme Brise und die Ausstattung reicht für einfache Gerichte. Der Preis war auch sehr entspannt, alles bestens und wir kommen gerne wieder (wenn wir dürfen;)

Bouganvillea Apartment - Gecko Resort

AmandaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
This is my 4th time staying at one of Denise's apartments in Gecko. Nice to have a mix of self catered apartment, but with the amenities of a resort. You also can't get a location better than this in Watamu. Highly recommended!

Desert Rose Apartment - Gecko Resort

AnitaRating, 5 stars4 months ago
This was a prefect location for my family traveling with my elderly parents. Everyone was very helpful, the location is great and there is a wonderful mix of having the privacy of a two room self cater apartment but within a resort so that you have the best of both worlds including access to the swimming pools, restaurants and bars. Kitchen is basic but reasonably well appointed. A wonderful location and 5 minutes to the beach.
