Kasa Tatu Villas, 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!"
