Nice appartments

The place has potential - but still a way to go. The place is under construction still - and I am sure it will improve. It seems that the appartments are sold and then rentes via Booking.com. We stayed five nights as a family of 6 in two appartments. The good The appartments are very nice and there is a kitchen. The pool and surroundings of the appartments is very nice. The service team is good and pleasant. Beds are hard (we like that) and there are very few mosquitoes. Chef service was good There is a mall 5 min walk from there. Tourist mall (expensive), but it is fine

A lovely oasis to return to after the bustle of Watamu

The development of self contained units is well designed and works well. It is essentially self catering, but you can have a chef prépare some or all your meals for $20 a day. The apartments and pool are spotless and the staff wonderfully helpful. If there’s anything wrong it’s fixed in minutes. It’s about a 10-15 minute walk to the beach and 2 good bar/restaurants and less than that to a shopping mall with a food store and a cafe/restaurant.

I highly recommended apartments residence !

We booked a week at the Rafiki Jua in Watamu, precisely the Rafiki Jua is located inside the Rafiki Tamu, a brand new residence consisting of several apartments (The structure looks like in the photos). Rafiki Tamu is a modern and new structure located exactly halfway between Watamu center and the beautiful beach of Sardinia 2. Our apartment was on the ground floor, overlooking the pool, consisting of dining room with kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. All nicely decorated with a fantastic African style. Inside the structure the entire staff is super helpful, consisting of receptionists, security, cleaning and laundry service (included in the price), masseuses at a very competitive price, chef (available to prepare breakfasts, lunches and dinners). For those who do not want to experience a village I highly recommend Rafiki.

Simply Magical!

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. Overall, I highly recommend Rafiki Jua to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Watamu. The combination of stunning natural scenery, excellent service, and fantastic food make it a top-notch resort that I can't wait to visit again. 👌🌊🏊‍♀️🌴🍽️
