Pros:

Food, but there were no varieties of vegetables

Cons:

Bed and bedding very holible, especially mattress protector, shower very old style i did not like at all, tiles were coming out, shower gel unable to press, made like that so they save on the cost, toilet very smelly not flushing properly. Building very old not updated to classic or Morden one, staff not educated to standard of hospitality some staff will just pass you will not ask you if you need a drink..

Pros:

African cuisine.

Cons:

Staff were passive. Some felt we did not belong "kweli wako pesa?" Someone loosely wondered when we asked to be allocated a room after paying.

Great place for a low key holiday
Pros:

I loved the room on the beach! The air-conditioning and fan worked a treat and the bed was comfortable.
I always like that no one gets harassed on the beach as there is a cooperative, dressed in the same uniform. That means you only talk to one person and then the others leave you alone.

Cons:

I was disappointed that Kenyan Cane was no longer on the all inclusive, being a local drink and one we really like, that surprised us.

Pros:

Overall, our stay at Turtle Bay Beach Resort in Watamu, Kenya was pleasant, with some clear highlights and one notable downside.



The biggest drawback is definitely the rooms — they feel quite outdated and are in need of renovation. The furnishings and overall condition do not match the standard of the rest of the hotel.



On the positive side, the food is excellent. The cuisine is varied, fresh, and truly enjoyable throughout the stay. The staff also deserve special mention — always smiling, welcoming, and very helpful, which makes a big difference in the overall experience.



The common areas are extremely well maintained, and you can see the care put into keeping the surroundings beautiful. The pools are fantastic — clean, spacious, and perfect for relaxing.



In general, the hotel is good and offers a nice experience, especially thanks to the service, food, and facilities. However, upgrading the rooms would significantly improve the overall quality of the stay.

Cons:

Pros:

Den Strand, den Garten und Lobby Bar im Hotel. Zwei Schwimmbecken, eines kleiner und ruhiger.Die Wassergymnstik am größeren war sehr nett.

Cons:

Das Essen, es könnte vielfältiger sein, nicht genug Obst, kein Joghurt, ein paar Salate.
Der Service der Kellner im Restaurant war nicht immer auf dem besten Stand.

Disappointing
Pros:

Last stayed in 2012. Came this year as it was our golden wedding anniversary. Accommodation was nothing special, rooms needing alot of attention, beds clean, room cleaners very efficient. Alot of things in the rooms have not changed in 20 years. Food was ok but not like it used to be. Staff a lot of trainees some were very good, some not so good some over zealous, thank goodness for the old brigade of staff who carried it. Dress code especially for dinner is non existent. Decoration needs attention as every bit of wooden furniture has been given a white undercoat distressed look which looks terrible. On the other hand pool's were very clean, security very good but work needs to be done on entertainment. We turned up with a preconceived idea that it would be the same as before but sadly mistaken.

Pros:

Cons:

The food was nice with the exception of the fruits. It’s a shame because fruits in Kenya are delicious, pineapple, mango, papaya. They should choose riper fruit.

4 days in Watamu
Pros:

The resort is overall a good property with plenty of potential. While the rooms would benefit from a bit of a refresh — especially the bathrooms — they are still comfortable and equipped with everything you need to enjoy rest, relaxation, and the natural beauty of Watamu.
The beach, with its sunbeds and stunning white sand, is truly beautiful. The changing tides create breathtaking landscapes and offer the chance to spot fascinating marine life right along the shore.
The staff are kind, helpful, and always ready to accommodate guests’ needs. The food selection is varied, but with average quality. One point that could be improved is the clarity around what is included in the dining offer: although the full offering is announced at check‑in, availability throughout the stay isn’t always completely clear.
The large, well-maintained pool (the one open to all guests) is nice and adds to the resort’s relaxing atmosphere.
All in all, we had a pleasant stay and would recommend this resort for those looking to enjoy Watamu’s charm, its beaches, and its unique natural setting. There are anyway points of improvement.

Seaside hotel - very good memories
Pros:

I had wonderful 8 days at Turtle Bay.
Pleasant garden and ocean combo hotel, delicious food, very kind staff. I spent Christmas days there so there were always something extra for dinner.
There are also very good possibilities to make excursions nearby, like birdwatch, Gede Ruins, mangrove forest, etc.
They have lots of water sport possibilities as well, including scuba diving.
Thank you for all your help during our stay.
