From the moment I arrived, Beba upgraded my room which was grest as the ocean view was fabulous. The room is spotless clean. Very elegantly decorated. Staff were very helpful. The villa is gorgeous. A few meters away from the beach. The private beach made my stay fantastic and ensured privacy. The pool was just the right spot to disconnect from the world. Breakfast was delicious and portions were huge. India and Gold ( the dogs 🐕) were definitely a huge plus. I loved their presence and played with them. The entire experience was very unique, authentic and relaxing 😌 I highly recommend it 👌 as a solo traveler, this felt do safe. Thank you Beba for taking care of things and understanding.

The venue is very lovely and quaint. Feels very cozy and homely with artistic decor. Offers great privacy while still giving professional standards. The customer service was exceptional; the staff especially Simon went over and above in making our stay special and addressing our particular and exceptional requests. The chef and Saidi also did a great job accommodating one of our party who was vegan. Every interaction was met with warmth and kindness; this made us want to extend our stay. We definitely will be returning. Also liked Bear, the dog :-)

Amazing place. It feels like a magic garden: full of beautiful trees and flowers. There’s a swimming pool right above the ocean. Everything is really clean, the room is really nice, breakfast is good, we just had one dinner and it was good (but if you want to try swahili fish dishes go in the center of Watamu, where the T junction is: it’s great!). We really enjoyed our stay, the whole staff is great and helpful at any time. The wifi wasn’t working in our room (probably one of the farthest from the reception), but in the common areas and garden it works perfectly. You can easily find a tuk tuk or a motorcycle at the gate ready to pick you up. Thank you, We’ll be back for sure, hopefully soon.

Pole Pole Beach House is literally a minute from the beach with easy access. The staff were delightful and very very helpful (even got me a motor bike to town whose rider was equally pleasant). I'd like to single out Safari, who was a most generous aimiable and helpful host. When I dropped my phone in his car on my way to the airport, he very kindly came back to bring it to me. I had a nice room with a balcony from where you could see the ocean. I had a really really lovely stay.

We stayed in the beach cottage, which is in a wonderful spot right on the beach, with an amazing view of the sea. The house is charming, and Chef Mo made us a fabulous curry with chapatis! We hope to get a chance to go back one day.

breakfasts were great, freshly made each morning. The location and staff were superb and very helpful, the rooms were cleaned and tidied every day and the AC was the best (I moved to an expensive villa after a few days with AC and it was much worse, I missed the cottages AC!). The shower was always warm if needed (I usually had it cold),mosquito nets for the bed and window which was perfect. The location is the best aspect, it's right on the beach

I love the location - perfect spot for beach holiday and not too fair-away from Watamu - yes the road is not perfect but for me it was part of my Kenya experience :-) They are a few very good restaurant on the beach and Safari was always very helpful , he even took as to a local church which was amazing experience ! I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to relax and learn a bit about the locals , the location is very safe . Pole Pole
