Incredible, we loved every moment. Samuel, Ken and Sharon were all so welcoming and went above and beyond, we felt right at home. We worked remotely here for a week and it was the only place in watamu we were able to work, due to the great wifi and if there was a power cut Samuel had the generator on straight away.

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.

A fairytale day! Upon arrival we were greeted by smiling staff who escorted us to our second floor apartment. Here we found ourselves on a huge balcony, where we then dined with a view of the pool and the starry sky. The apartment was perfect: clean and with a nice flower arrangement on the bed to welcome us. The location is fantastic: just cross the road to get to one of the most beautiful beaches in Watamu and in less than 5 minutes by motorbike or 15 on foot from the city center. In the staff there was even a cook, that based on our choice, made us a typical and cheap local dinner. To end our night we had a swim in the pool looking at the stars...a very special moment. We can only recommend Nadia & Ale house to everyone to be spoiled in a fabulous location.
