"The food was amazing. The place and the weather, also. All the staff was very friendly and helpful. My suggestion is that there should be a portable or fixed clothesline for hanging wet clothes after the beach or pool."

10/10 Excellent
"the property is very clean and all the staff are extremely friendly. They made me feel very relaxed and safe. Most days I had the sole use of the pool! Perhaps the chef could do with a few pointers and it would have been great to have a small fridge in my room which was lovely and clean. was well cared for and really enjoyed my stay....5 gold stars!"

Kasa Tatu Cottages Watamu

10/10 Excellent
"This extraordinary property is a five star experience you should not miss. You are off the main road and close to a pristine beach. The villa has superb amenities and a warm and welcoming host. You have complete privacy if you want it, but we chose the option of a personal chef for the week and it was a wise decision. She was a talented cook who accommodated all our requests with great skill. The property is new and extremely modern, with comfort and convenience emphasized. We cannot wait to return!"
