We booked for 5 days but left after 2!. It looks wonderful. The cottage was run down, much of it was dirty and beyond repair, many fixtures broken, no fans in living area, overun with ants (we had to throw away a lot of food we had just bought). Also lizards etc., and threatened by the owners dogs that were... More

I would recommend that couples looking for a romantic and peaceful stay at the ocean look elsewhere. Coral cove is too run-down and bug-infested to be relaxing. We actually shortened our stay by several days -- and we love being outdoors and camping -- because the cottage was too run-down to enjoy. Pros: 1. Tiwi beach is fantastic and our... More

This place got a rave review in Lonely Planet a couple of years ago and has been riding high ever since. True, the cottages are roomy, but they are not comfortable. The mattresses are so thin you can feel the boards through them. The kitchens have not been maintained since the cottages were built some 20+ years ago, by the... More

We travelled as a couple this xmas season hoping to spend ten days! we just did three and we had it! The place is really old and expensive for what it offers! Dirty dirty carpets and very dirty rough floors too. the roof is still of the old material that causes cancer Asbestos or something like that. Dirty dogs. Bushy... More

We really did not like it. We were there just two nights and it was more then enough. The cottages are big but they look like they have not had a fresh touch in a very long time. The beach is not remotly as nice as the one in Diani and there is really nothing around it. The only working... More

A great place to stay, we both loved our six nights here. The staff and owner are lovely and the place has a real personal touch! Really friendly animals everywhere and the location is so lush and green. The private beach is literally a 10 second walk from the front door! Also, use the cooks, the Swahili food is beautiful....

Lovely cottages right by Tiwi beach. Tiwi beach is just north of the busier and more touristy Diani beach, we got a taxi here from Mombasa. The cottages are in a pretty garden setting, our cottage was enormous! 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, sitting room, bathroom and also an outside terrace to sit and laze the days away. There are cute... More
