Watamu Eco Villas

Our stay at Eco Villas was fantastic! The location is very quiet and serene. The room was spacious and clean. There were also games and books available for use and the pool was well maintained. The real stand out was the staff who were welcoming, caring, and kind. The food was marvellous, and you could tell it was homemade with love. The chicken Caesar salad was life changing. Eco villas made even a rainy three days in Watamu a great trip!

Electricity unreliable The property (houses on Easter Side) has big issue with the three-phase power input. Finally, we spent our night without electricity (two basic lamps were provided instead for the room and bathroom). The electric generator was not reliable - lights were blinking all the time. I didn`t want to charge my electric equipment when the generator was used (didn`t want risk damaging items). The breakfast was rather basic. The rest of the experience was OK. It was the only only one property we visited with electric problems on the Coast. We didn`t receive any kind of proposal for refund for that unconvenience. We suggest: before renting make sure you are located in the house on western side of the property.

My baby boy and I had and are still having an amazing stay at Echo villa’s (on Booking: Eco Villa’s). The garden is lush with birds and colorful gecko’s (not shy!), the pool is clean and big, there are toys for kids and books for grown ups. The breakfast is good, the restaurant airy and spacious, and for the rooms there is a turndown service included which feels so luxurious. We have a veranda overlooking the garden, with a swinging bed which is ideal for baby afternoon naps. The manager and staff go out of their way to help with anything, I myself feel under the weather and they made a special tea for me, and a wonderful babysitter so I can rest. I feel taken care off and enjoy the garden and peace and quiet. It’s all in the details.
