The staff at Rafiki Village is very friendly. Gloria's cooking skills are very good and warm. Every meal is delicious. You can buy the ingredients yourself or add your contact information and send her the ingredients in advance to order and pay the processing fee. Rafiki Village is a holiday resort with a certain vintage. Hotel Rafiki Tamu was opened later and has some updated facilities. Both hotels are good.

Villa bellissima, spaziosa, ben organizzata, dotata di tutto e soprattutto super pulita. Abbiamo soggiornato in struttura per 10 giorni e spesso abbiamo usufruito anche del servizio chef: una delle ragazze della struttura andava a fare la spesa (a seconda delle nostre richieste) e ci cucinava in casa...sempre tutto super squisito, spendendo davvero poco! Inoltre incluso nei servizi c'era la lavanderia, per cui ogni giorno le housekeeping venivano a ritirarci il bucato sporco e lo riportavano il giorno dopo perfettamente pulito e stirato. Posizione strategica, di fronte al Mall (dove c'è supermercato, ATM, farmacia ecc.), vicinissimo al centro e a tutti i principali pub e ristoranti. A 5 Min dalla spiaggia (unica pecca per arrivarci bisogna attraversare la strada). Complessivamente esperienza ottima, assolutamente consigliato.

Villa Samawati un vero sogno! Villa grande inserita all'interno del contesto Rafiki Village con piscina davanti a casa. Abbiamo avuto a disposizione lo chef Edison che ha preparato per noi colazione e cene, sistemato e pulito le camere. É un chef superlativo, ci ha preparato anche tagliatelle al ragù e lasagne con sapore identico a quello italiano! Villa consigliata con l'opzione chef per qualche giorno di relax.

Posto meraviglioso, ci siamo sentiti coccolati dal primo all’ultimo giorno. Un caloroso grazie a tutto il personale che ha reso la nostra vacanza eccezionale. Buona la posizione,vicina ad una delle piu’ belle spiagge di watamu (paparemo). E’ possibile usufruire del private cooking,cucinano benissimo ad un prezzo onestissimo.

Resort davvero molto carino e con tuute le comodità. Chiedendo di giorno in giorno è possibile farsi preparare colazione, pranzo e cena direttamente nel proprio alloggio (e si mangia davvero molto bene, dal pesce alla carne alle samosa). C'è inoltre il servizio lavanderia totalmente gratuito che è molto utile. La nostra casa (Jobi House) era molto bella, grande ed attrezzata con tanto di terrazzo con amaca, letto matrimoniale e altalena per momenti di totale relax. La posizione è ottimale perchè in moto o tuktuk si possono raggiungere tutti i punti di interesse in massimo 10 minuti. Consigliatissimo!

Partiamo dal presupposto che la struttura è molto bella, accogliente e pulita. Ma ci sono varie pecche. Per quanto riguarda il nostro chef: Elvis, beh se vi capita lui fate in modo che venga cambiato, perché non capisce mai cosa deve acquistare ed evidentemente acquista in locali con prezzi gonfiati ad hoc per il turista. Seconda pecca, il cambio asciugamani, difficilissimo da ottenere, nonostante sia stato chiesto, specie dopo il rientro dal Safari. Inoltre, in reception vendono l’acqua, beh munitevi di soldi giusti, perché stranamente non avranno mai il resto. Per non parlare poi del finale, eravamo due coppie con volo differenti con partenze alle 18:50 ed alle 21:30, ci è stato detto di metterci d’accordo a che orario volessimo partire per l’aeroporto di Mombasa perché il transfer era uno solo e quindi dovevamo andare insieme per forza, per cui siamo partiti (decisione del transfer) alle 11:30 con arrivo alle 14:30 circa con inutili e numerose ore di attesa in un aeroporto praticamente vuoto, ma noi avevamo pagato per due transfer. Che dirvi, se potete, evitatelo.

Splendid 5-star resort, for those who, returning from the chaos of Watamu, want to relax and be pampered by all the Rafiki Village staff. Return and find succulent dishes and washed and ironed linen.
