Location can't be beat : the sandbar is practically behind the accomodation, with a direct path to the (best) beach. The plot is big, so it's really nice to wander around all the plants and little paths. The double room we had was lovely, with view on the outside. Shout-out to the wonderful team who cooked amazing food for us and taught us Swahili. Very nice village close by, next to F-cafe, and good local food around. We had the best best time !

Everyone was so kind! We had a wonderful stay. Love the pool. They even gave us a sample of dinner ribs to try they were amazing. Rooms cleaned daily and towels refreshed which we really appreciate. Comfortable bed and quality linens. The property is very charming. Grace was so sweet. Also Luciano was so pleasant whenever we saw him. We would comeback again when visiting Watamu. Loved being off the main rd in a local village. Very near a store, a lovely man selling eggs and even a salon for hair braiding. Quick walk up the road to catch a boda boda or Tuk Tuk. Garoda beach was our favorite

I spent just one night at Tawi Elegant Rooms in Watamu, but it was enough to leave me with a truly wonderful memory! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with a warm smile and great kindness by the owner, Gisella, who was always available and attentive to every need. The staff was amazing – friendly, professional, and always ready to go the extra mile to make guests feel comfortable and cared for. The property is beautifully maintained, in a peaceful and convenient location, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the unique charm of Watamu. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I will definitely come back for more nights in this little paradise. Congratulations to the whole team!

I had such a lovely stay! Sophia was incredibly warm, kind, and responsive from the moment I booked. She made me feel truly welcomed and at home. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests. Highly recommend her as a host! The room was clean, cozy, and exactly as pictured, peaceful, with a beautiful breeze and great lighting. I slept so well and felt safe throughout my stay.
