We enjoyed the place a lot. We stayed for 4 nights. Breakfast was nice, yummy food. The swimming pool is clean and deep. The place is very clean and quiet. The staff is great, cleaned our room every day. Damaris is a very kind owner. She allowed us to come earlier and leave later.

I had an amazing stay at Avana Resort Watamu! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel at home right away. The rooms were spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with an African-inspired style.

The location was super: wery close to ocean, a little bit far from Watamu so it was quiet and private. The beautiful Garoda beach was 2km walking distance. There were kind and friendly community. They help me with everything I needed. It was supernice to have tasty meals together with them. You can see a Milkyway in the sky and monkeys in the morning playing on the roof. This is haven for naturelovers.
