It was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the beautiful location and the serene atmosphere. The resort is set in an idyllic beachfront setting, offering stunning views of the ocean. The staff was incredibly friendly. The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean. Waking up to the sound of the waves and the fresh sea breeze was an absolute treat. The resort offers a variety of activities, and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time at the pool and exploring the beach. The food was another highlight. The resort’s restaurant offers a wide range of delicious, high-quality dishes, catering to different tastes. Overall, my stay exceeded my expectations, this resort offers the ultimate getaway.

Great customer service, the staff was very friendly and tried to make the best of our stay. We had to check out at 10AM, though they gave us a different room to leave our luggage and to take a shower before we went to the airport. We loved the pool(s), we enjoyed the food (The lobster was delicious), and you have immediate access to the beach. The beach is beautiful, clear blue waters and white sand. Great for water sports such as kitesurfing and wind surfing.

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!

Our stay at African House was the best stay during our six weeks of travelling in Kenya. The beauty of this place has been praised by others and needs no further additions. There is no other place which we have found so conducive to rest and read. We also enjoyed the perfect atmosphere and surroundings at the resort for reflection and conversations. While we dislike most of the resort typical ambiente of beach hotels, African House has a character of its own, away from beach tourism, and we were barely tempted to leave it during the week of our stay there.
