Turtle Bay Beach Club

Wie immer sehr erholsam

The place needs some work

It was perfectly comfortable and the rooms had air conditioning. There was a limited gluten free menu and the included wine was dreadful. The pool was lovely and the staff excellent. It is a but tired. The booking of sunbeds was very tedious as some people rarely even came to the bed while others had no space. The music at night was the same ever day, was not really catered for the needs of the huests that were there and very loud in the bedrooms

TV did not work. Staff and even manager called Ken made no effort to fix it.

Nydelig beliggenhet , nydelig strand. Helt ok rom , mat , bassenger

Turtle Bay sits on a lovely picture postcard white sandy beach. We had a lovely stay there. The staff were super-friendly and helpful everywhere - in reception, in the restaurant, in the bars, by the pool, just whenever you passed any one of them anywhere on site you'd get a smile and a 'Jambo'. Rooms were spacious, with AC and a balcony looking out over the sea (we were on the first floor up in the main block rather than the ones fronting the sea but still had a nice view). There is an artistically draped mosquito net but actually we never needed it. Good shower and even a bath too, and there's a safe in the rooms. The pool staff are lovely and will drag a sunbed for you wherever you want it placed, by the pool or on the beach, so it doesn't matter if there isn't one there when you come down. Then waiters come round periodically to ask if you'd like a drink brought to your sunbed. No hassle on the beach... there are some people selling boat tours but they more or less wait for you to ask them rather than vice versa (cheaper than the hotel booked ones btw), and there weren't vendors around - we went for a half hour walk along the beach without being accosted. There are a couple of stalls on the beach with sarongs etc and if you pass those of course they'll ask if you want to come in, but generally you could enjoy the beach without hassle. Food was good, plentiful, lots of curry based dishes, but a variety. Fantastic fruit at all meals, delicious mangoes. The all inclusive drinks at the bar are a bit limited, very limited range of cocktails and no rose wine, but the drinks there are are nice, and served with a smile. There isn't much around the hotel and you probably need a tuk tuk if you want to see anything of Watamu, but you can take a boat trip from the beach right by the hotel and see dolphins/snorkel on the reef (latter was a bit disappointing but we did see lots of dolphins). Would definitely return - it's a lovely hotel
