It was quiet, relaxing and breathtaking.

Everything was perfect, the chef was good, the staff were welcoming, but please add Savannahs to the menu

It is an insider tip oasis for everyone who is looking for a great ambience, extremely friendly and courteous staff, great food and a fantastic location right on the beach. We felt at home from the start.

Modern structure furnished with exquisite taste, friendly and courteous staff. Private environment and unique location.

The only small flaw: a little far from the center of Watamu. To move you need to contact transfer. In any case, you can also contact the structure for this service.
