8.4 out of 10, Very Good, (91)
"Great place to stay on the beach in Watamu, proximity to Malindi international airport was super given construction between Mombasa and Watamu! The private adults pool is amazing for those without kids that want a quiet pool. If you are across from the dining/entertainment area though it is loud with music at night until about 12:30 am - next time will request room on the opposite side. I had a wedding blessing that was absolutely incredible - Nancy the planner was the best!!!"

"Liked: The staff were very professional and polite Disliked: Booking and payment had been done online but was still made to pay in cash at the facility, by instructions from the owner (the reception staff were however, very polite and patient while I tried to contact Expedia during the check-in process. They just wouldn't let me in based on the instructions they had from their boss, the Property owner)."
