Really well decorated facilities and nice comfy bungalows. I could have stayed much longer. Access to small but (feels) private beach with a nice bar and beds. Great value for money.

Restaurant a la carte could be less slow. Breakfast at KS 3000 for a buffet is just too much. You can order a la carte for KS 800 - which is the better deal. Organizing activities could be better: I ask for yoga next day and they say can be booked only 24h before, should get up early and ask the yoga teacher if there is space nonetheless. Why not coordinate by the hotel? Same for snorkling: ended up going to another hotel. If Temples captain is not free why not organize for the guests another one or point them at where they can book. Small stuff, but if this was better, would be a 10

The location is beautiful and staff were very friendly. Rooms and general ambiance is great.

The hotel pitches itself as a resort for sports/active guests, but charges guests 800 KSH a day for use of gym facilities. I understand for yoga, water sports, or if you want to make use of a trainer but find it very unusual for guest to pay an additional fee for simply accessing the gym.

Location, the private beach as well as the public beach. Food was not bad tbh. Lichthaus was spectacular to have food and drinks and sit in the netted ropes right above the water overlooking the ocean during sunset. BEAUTIFUL. Will look forward to coming back during high season. The receptionists were amazing, amazing customer service. I think that’s very important.

Rooms could use an upgrade. Although they were nice but if they get an upgrade, this resort would be top. The waitresses were kind of slow and we had to get their attention to bring menus, drinks etc. If anything they would definitely need proper training on how to wait a table and build their customer service dining experience.

Breakfast was excellent, lots of variety. Brand new Gym is top of the line (I had to pay to access the gym but they changed the policy after my complaint and now should be free for guests. Easy access to Lichthaus.Bed was comfy with many pillows.

The monkeys are everywhere and a real nuisance during breakfast. Hotel should provide an indoor space for breakfast because it is really stressful and takes away from enjoying the otherwise great breakfast.

Fantastic paradise bubble, right at the creek. Staff is just excellent. An absolute A for staff performance. Always helpful and with a friendly smile. Temple Point is one of the best places I stayed at in Kenya. Big area with a lot of space. Cool monkeys.

The generator was unfortunately running for my full visit. For anyone that dislike a constant noise of a huge generator, this is inconvenient. It disturbs the general experience of tranquility and peaceful nature. It should not be a big thing to relocate the generator to the entrance and get it away from the rooms,

We had an incredible stay at Temple Point in Watamu, Kenya. From the moment we arrived the service was outstanding. The first person we met was Carol at reception, who was so warm and welcoming. She made us feel right at home and was always easy to communicate with whenever we had needed anything. Our first day was filled with fun thanks to Nardos who was our tour guide. He kept us laughing and was a great explainer during our local tour activity. We also had a fantastic Tuktuk driver throughout our stay, and I highly recommend reaching out to him when you're in Watamu. A special shoutout to Captain Sam who made our sunset boat cruise unforgettable! Be sure to make a reservation for his dhow cruise; you can find him on Instagram at Captian_Sammy_Dhow. We also had an amazing experience at the gym where we met Daniel one of the staff members. He was incredibly friendly and helpful and motivating my boyfriend during his workouts and providing personalized tips. If you're looking for a supportive personal trainer definitely seek him out! Every staff member including our airport drivers made us feel welcome and ensured we were satisfied with our stay. The environment was clean, our rooms were comfortable and the service was excellent. The food was delicious especially breakfast where Chef Gabriel made a special egg dish that we both loved. The spa was fantastic and relaxing, We enjoyed it. I highly recommend Temple Point to anyone planning to visit Watamu. You won't be disappointed!

Nothing

Great location, right next to the creek, with direct beach access. Multiple convenient facilities available, such as restaurant and gym.

They didn’t let me take my own water to the room. Initial excuse was a ban on plastic, but when they saw me refilling my reusable bottle, the manager told me straight that it was because the hotel needs customers to pay for extra water (2 bottles/day are provided for free in the room). The attitude of the manager lost me as a guest: they earned a few € for the water, but lost a few hundreds of € on my following stay in Watamu, as I chose a different hotel. It’s not about a few €, but about the attitude of the management. Just to clarify: the rest of the staff were all extremely kind.

We enjoyed our 2-night stay and mainly due to the exceptional service and recommendations we got from Kevin front office. Our highlight was the half day to Mida creek and lunch on sudi island. Thanks to Kevin for recommending that.

Temple point was great! Lovely staff and very easy and helpful with whatever you need. Eunice was fantastic and organising and sorting questions I had before we got there and sorting us when we got there. We had a beautiful honeymoon package with a romantic meal which was amazing. Jackeline was our main waitress and she was fantastic she undertsood my dietry needs, I have coeliac disease and this makes it hard for me to eat places, temple point sorted me the head chef mark to sort my meals as I could eat from the buffet, this was amazing his food was perfect and safe and made my life south easier so thank you Mark! The room was lovely, great air con, WiFi and beautiful setting, would highly recommend and is safe for gluten free just contact them prior

We didn't like that hotel guests had to pay 2000 kes to get in to the bar on the beach and then if you didn't spend exactly that on the date you didn't get it back if you spent more you had the get another 2000 kes voucher made no sense, the bar was very loud on new years until 5am which was understandable because its new years but 5am is abit much or maybe prewar the guests that are nearer and can hear the bar

The seaside bar is incredible!! The most perfect place to relax with good food (some Vegan options) and drinks. The swimming pools is wonderful and so is the additional beach. The bedroom was beautiful. Bed was relatively comfy.

Half board dinner and breakfast options had to be eaten in the main resturant. There was no atmosphere sadly and very limited vegan options. No vegan starter and dessert options.
