Serene- ocean view was worth it
Pros:

Cleanliness and the food was too yummy! The staff are friendly, especially Eunice, Elijah. Chef Isaac’s meals were so yummy and diverse. You can't lack something to love.

Cons:

Cleanliness of some of the water dispensers and some staff seem clueless to help. But most are very helpful.

Fair
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The biggest drawback is definitely the rooms — they feel quite outdated and are in need of renovation.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:

The place is being

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.
