Watamu Eco Villas

This place is great value. It's set back from a busy road about 10 minutes drive from the gorgeous beaches at Watamu. Inside the lush green compound it's very peaceful. There's a nice swimming pool and a lovely open sitting / dining area where you can lounge and play games or read. The rooms are basic but clean and spacious and the bed was really comfortable. The staff are absolutely lovely, nothing is too much trouble. The food is great value as well. If you're looking for a way of experiencing the five star beaches of Watamu but on a tight budget, this is a great choice.

Bon accueil, endroit paisible à l'écart du bruit, jardin reposant et belle piscine. Excellent rapport qualité prix mais petit déjeuner non inclus.

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.

We loved this little spot - a very chilled little oasis with a great vibe and lovely staff. Basic rooms but excellent value. The lounge area is the perfect spot to relax with a book, play board games, pool and darts, or simply meet others that are staying in the villas.

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.
