A Rocha Eco-Lodge & Conservation Centre

Loved the nature conservation part. Very grateful that I could join the coral monitoring group.

Personale molto gentile e disponibile. Cucina ottima. Luogo molto tranquillo e silenzioso, a qualche chilometro da Watamu. La struttura propone attività di ricerca riguardo coralli, uccelli e altri laboratori.

Un lieu atypique où la rencontre est importante , que ce soit avec l équipe , les bénévoles locaux du centre et les touristes de passage ou certains plus sédentaires . La cuisine est délicieuse. L’accueil de Betty et de son équipe est super et l emplacement à deux pas de la plage est idéal .

The staff were friendly. The dinning hall atmosphere was really fun with lots of interesting conversations. They encouraged me by responding well to my needs though they had to multi-task. This is a conservation study center, not a hotel per se.

The inquiries phone number doesnt work so you cant confirm your booking. There is no dedicated hospitality person who is trained to take care of clients. Clients don't speak up about their experiences so the staff dont know where they are going wrong. There is no hot water in some rooms. There was no person to bring hot water in buckets to supplement. There is no privacy for some rooms because the windows have no blinds. People on the corridor can see right into the rooms. It is hot but people keep their curtains drawn for privacy which makes the rooms hot. The cooking is creative but sometimes poor. There was too much salt in the food most of the time. However when I suggested that they cook me different items, they were very gracious and worked hard to provide for me. I found it interesting that they required us to wash dishes. That was no problem but for the rates we paid, it should have been supplemented. The drinking water was really salty and the water in my room had been there for so long that it had grown stalactites in the bottle- pretty gross. I had to go out to buy bottled water at a pretty high cost cos transport and supermarket prices are high in this tourist area. This needs to be fixed.
