Weekend trip with a friend
Everyone was so nice - the resort was immaculate and the beaches were pristine. Would be a great place to bring my young children too! I will be back!

The Swimming pool was clean, The Hotel
Offers serene eco-friendly environment that manifest peaceful stay. The rooms are clean , hot water and air conditions were functioning well.
Unfortunately, the food and dining were of poor quality and options - Not to expected standard of hotel of such investment magnitude

Wir Haben vor fast einem Jahr das Hotel für 2 Wochen gebucht, die Bestätigung erhalten und dem Reisebüro auch schon bezahlt. 3 Wochen vor Reiseantritt wurden wir dann auf grund einer Hochzeit per "Upgrade" aus dem Hotel geworfen. Wir habe ein Hotel am Meer mit Meersicht und Tauchbasis gebucht und hätten in ein Hotel 1,1 Km landeseinwärts ausweichen sollen. Das war ärgerlich, hat Zeit gekostet und Geld für Umbuchung und Weg zur Tauchbasis. Wir wurden während unseren Aufenthaltes dan für die Umstände mit einem Dinner bei Hells Kitchen entschädigt. Nando hat uns sehr gut unterhalten und das Essen war auch sehr gut! Danke! dafür gebe ich einen Punkt mehr.

Loved the staff and our room was nice and cool. The restaurant Licht Haus was gorgeous and the food was delicious! Also, loved the little shop by the restaurant and we got several lovely pieces of jewelry. I especially loved the humane/gentle way of dealing with little adorable monkeys that like to steal snacks. No weird violent pest control methods that I might see in my home country (the US) and I really appreciated that, and I say that as someone whose chocolate croissant was snatched by a monkey. Don't worry, the monkey left the fruit and my phone!

Resort super!!!!! Tutto fantastico, essendo il nostro un viaggio di nozze lo staff è stato favoloso, ogni giorno ci lasciavano dei ricordini in camera molto carini, cibo ottimo, pulizia perfetta, veramente super super consigliato, se torneremo sceglieremo sempre Temple Point, per quanto riguarda il safari e le varie esperienze ci siamo affidati al team Fragola, anche loro veramente molto organizzati e bravi, per quanto ci riguarda noi consigliamo vivamente la guida Bruno, un ragazzo giovane ma con un cuore d'oro, un ragazzo che merita davvero tanto, noi ci sentiamo tutt ora, affidatevi a lui credetemi!!!! Grazie Temple point, grazie Team Fragola,e grazie Kenya, a Presto, Hakuna Matata ❤️

Wir waren sechs Tage im Tempelpoint und sehr begeistert. Das Hotel wurde in einem Grünen Paradies mit uralten Baobab Bäumen eingebaut und eingebettet. Es gibt den tiny Beach und den Short Beach, beide quasi Privatstrände, weil man bei Flut sonst gar nicht dorthin kommt. Bei Ebbe kann man Kilometer weit am Strand laufen. Die Zimmer sind in einem Haus von vier Einheiten großzügig und mit großen Terrassen versehen. Ein besonderes Highlight ist die wohl angesagteste Strandbar Ostafrikas, das Lichthaus! Es werden viele Aktivitäten angeboten. Das Personal ist ausgesprochen freundlich und höflich. Überhaupt ist Watamu ein noch sehr ursprünglicher und unverfälschter kleiner Ort.

Had the absolute worst Experience at the Rotary D9212 DCA . Customer Service was terrible right from the security personnel at the gate(extremely rude)Drinks were overpriced . The food is another horror movie,They mixed boiled white rice with potatoes and shredded bits of chicken on top then called it "biryani". The hotel is not suitable for Kids and people living with special needs.

Horrible experience and handling by the management during the Rotary District conference. Guests were locked out from a dinner event and the cost of drinks was ridiculously expensive. Customer service was lacking as people were made to park outside and walk in the rain. Even drop off or pick up was not allowed.
