Great place to stay on the beach in Watamu, proximity to Malindi international airport was super given construction between Mombasa and Watamu! The private adults pool is amazing for those without kids that want a quiet pool. If you are across from the dining/entertainment area though it is loud with music at night until about 12:30 am - next time will request room on the opposite side. I had a wedding blessing that was absolutely incredible - Nancy the planner was the best!!!

All inclusive, but share what that means to vacationers. Just because on the beach someone is wearya Turtle Bay T shirt, doesn't mean they work for the Hotel.

This resort is unique in the combination of guests it hosts:: I love that even during Kenya's high international tourism season there are always lots of Kenyan families at Turtle Bay. The price is reasonable, and keeps the beauty of the Kenya coast available to the people it belongs to while also showing it off hospitably and beautifully to the world.

This is our second time visiting Turtle Bay. We like the staff and their dedication to the environment and community. However the rooms are in need of updating mattresses, bathroom and decorations. Also the music is played late into the night til 12:00am.

Liked: Staff & service
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

The staff get 12 out 10. Choice of different items in buffet are amazing. This is a 4* and they had king prawns on dinner menu on 21st december with the lower rates before Christmas. We are writing this review from a 5* hotel in malindi owned by a large italian chain on christmas eve and there is no dreams of having prawns on menu. Hands down an amazing experience. Only downside is the general cleanliness. The loos near the pool stink really bad
