It was our second time in Watamu and 1st time in Baraka house. Its absolutely stunning property in ocean front location, 3 min walk to the beach. Chef cooks delicious meals to you order, i m already missing his breakfast pancakes with fresh mangoes ,rooms are very well cleaned every day, security guard at night, cant really fault anything. I believe there are 2 ladys Tara and Chekie ( sorry if spelled wrong) that managing property.Tara is spot on, very quick to answer any questions or sorting any issues,sadly cant say same about other lady that actually lives in the property although it listed as you will have villa for yourself completely. We had issues with Chekie from the 1st day, as she asked us to put music down and it was only small portable speaker playing and it was 11am. But the best bit came on the last day. Check out should be at 10:00 am, but we agreed with Tara to check out at 23:00 and paid 75% of full day price . Our chef ordered fresh fish and preparing for our dinner when Chekie came in and ordered as to leave villa latest by 4pm. We showed her all details that was agreed with Tara but she didnt want to know, she gave us back all the money for extra time we paid , she called us all kind of words and said that she hopes that will never ever see us again. It was really big shock for us, we started packing quickly, 1 of us went to nearby properties to look where can we stay for the day, and we had small child in our group that made things worst, luckily we got hold of Tara and she quickly sorted all this mess out and we stayed in house until 23:00 as planned, and Chekie never came out to even say sorry or apologize to us.If you decide to come and stay at Baraka House i m sure you will have wonderful time but please make sure you communicate with Tara to avoid any issues like we had. Apart of that we would rate Baraka house very highly, its probably the best villa we ever stayed in, if i could i would give 10 stars for our time at the house,specially for all the house staff, they would do anything to make your stay hassle free. Swimming pool was cleaned every morning, rooms done every day if you wish. If i ever decide to come back to watamu once more i would definitely tray to stay in Baraka house but would communicate with Tara only. Make sure you ask Stevens to have BBq on the beach and you will have experience of your life. Big Big thanks to all villa stuff and Tara .
