Turtle Bay Beach Club

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.

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.

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.

We had an amazing december holidays in Turtle bay.Very nice hotel .Friendly staff.We loved the food.Great evening shows.

My partner and I have just returned from an exceptional ten-day stay at Turtle Bay Beach Club. We travelled from the UK in early December, which turned out to be an ideal time to visit: warm temperatures, clear blue skies, and a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere that allowed us to fully enjoy the resort before the Christmas rush. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. The grounds are beautifully maintained and set directly on the beach, with a tranquil adults-only pool thoughtfully located away from the main family pool. The resort is immaculately kept and, in our experience, looks even better in person than in the online photographs. Our room was spacious, clean, and featured a balcony overlooking the lush central gardens and lawns, which was a pleasure to wake up to each morning. We opted for the all-inclusive package and were incredibly impressed by the quality and variety of the food. During our ten day stay, the buffet menu was rarely repeated, with an excellent selection of fresh meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables — much of it prepared to order. Remarkably, it’s one of the few holidays we’ve returned from feeling healthier thanks to the food! A particular highlight was the Weaver Bar, where you can enjoy an evening drink while watching the golden weaver birds nesting nearby — a truly memorable and unique experience. Evening entertainment ranged from live music and dancing to a DJ later in the evening. The excursions and watersports team were also extremely helpful in organising activities; we would highly recommend taking a local boat trip to see dolphins just outside of the reef. Above all, what truly sets Turtle Bay Beach Club apart is the staff. Every member of the team was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, clearly taking great pride in ensuring guests have a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Their hard work and hospitality made our experience truly outstanding.
