I read numerous sunny reviews on Turtle Bay before choosing to spend our December Holidays there. I have to say both my wife and I were disappointed. I love Kenya, and its lovely beaches, and the warmth of folk there, but having read such glowing reviews ahead of the vacation, we could only sum up the hotel as overrated. The... More

We have just returned form a weeks stay at turtle bay in watamu, our first time there, ( but not our first time in Kenya). The hotel is lovely, and the beach is gorgeous and we can quite see why people return again and again, but therein lies the problem. The hotel seems to have been totally taken over by... More

If anyone had said after our first visit in 1997, we'd still be coming back every January without a break in 2012, I'd have laughed my socks off. But here we are, just back from another terrific stay here. There's no one reason we keep coming back : The staff, from management down to gardeners and cleaners, do all they... More

There are a lot of reviews about the hotel and its rooms etc so I would appreciate the chance to throw light on some other aspects of this excellent holiday destination. This hotel is deservedly popular, the management and staff work really hard to please everyone and keep standards high. They are often winning awards for eco, green credentials, customer... More

Arrived after long journey- not the greatest route- Heathrow to nairobi then internal flight to mombasa then 2 and half hour drive...found out possible to fly from nairobi to malindi airport but there are wieght restrictions on luggage. To be honest I was a little underwhelmed at first on arrival but this soon evaporated- remember this is Kenya not the... More

My first visit to this hotel was in October 2009. Having visited Kenya several times previously this was my first visit to this part. The staff were friendly, remembered all repeat visitors and went out of their way to ensure that your experience was a pleasant one. I returned again last year and was happy to see that nothing had... More

Big big problem - only had 1 week at turtle bay should have done 2 :-) Just back from a fabulous week at Turtle Bay. Staff are great, location is great, food was great. I can have sensitive guts on hols but not here. (Just avoid tap water at all costs) I love the area the culture and the experiences... More

We have been fortunate to visit this hotel many times and have never been disappointed. We usually travel as a family including a Grandpa of 70 something and the youngest being 12 years old with ages in between - there is something for all of us at this wonderful establishment. The staff are friendly and efficient and appear to remember... More

Turtle Bay Beach Club was our final destination of our 3 week trip through Kenya. Having been at some quieter safari lodges the multi-sensory introduction to Turtle Bay was a bit overwhelming. This is a family friendly Hotel with "kids of all ages" enjoying themselves over the Christmas and New Year break. On our arrival we were shown to our... More
