Reviewers Mention About Temple Point Resort

The Temple Point Resort is a perfect choice for a romantic getaway, with quiet spots for couples to relax and stunning views. The boat trip with the entertaining captain was a highlight, although the (Read More) buffet food was found to be boring and the serving of fruits and vegetables questionable. Some issues were reported with the air conditioning not cooling the room effectively, and a privacy breach from a staff member. Despite these minor drawbacks, the location is excellent, with clean rooms and plenty of activities.

Good

The hotel changes its policy in a whim be it on access to gym or inclusivity of breakfast without informing clients: on

In general, the hotel is expanding and building new structures like yoga place and a very good place for a stay in Watamu -but Ill reconsider my choices next year because of breakfast policy. The swimming pool is lovely as always and the New Fitness in an open space is well equipped and modern and I enjoyed working out. Rooms are stocked with water and variety of tea and a pot. Easy access to Lichthaus. Bed was comfy with many pillows.

I did not like the room assigned room 1D ( it had partial view of the ocean but far from many things ). The pump above the room constantly hummed with funny coughing like sound as well the room was quipped with all the toiletries except lotion. I was disappointed to forfeit booking at Hemingway that could have offered breakfast for Temple point. The staff that attended to me are absolutely lovely people. The staff ushering guest at the Lichthaus needs to be trained on sensitivity theories of isms being singed out when white guests arent and asked twice in a row by the same person whether I am guest at the hotel while the white guest that I was with isnt asked and somehow need to pay the entrance fee was impulsively annoying but also implying that somehow I possess distinct inferior racial characteristics, financial inabilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish me as incapable of being a guest at Temple point

the location is decent - there's access to a very small beach from the hotel, but if you want to access the main beach you'll have to walk 15 min or drive. the pool is big and clean. breakfast is ok. good diving centre at the hotel. the view from lichthouse is beautiful

the shower wasn't great.

Very good

Great place, Great location. But thieving monkeys get in the way of otherwise great 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.

The Perfect Escape

Amazing location with lush grounds and expansive options to maximize the holiday vibe. Stunning water views, private beach, beautiful open air gym and yoga classes, huge pool, watersports, gear, and tours available onsite. The wifi was excellent when switching from weekend relaxation to virtual work. Incredible team of staff members!

The breakfast options, especially fresh fruit which is usually abundantly available, could be improved.

Superb

Amazing location with incredible views and very quiet, a bit outside of the noises of Watamu. All the hotel is full of beautiful trees and a lot of green spaces. Our room had direct view and access (little beach in front of the room) on the Mida creek. Overall, it felt like on a paradise island (even though its obviously not on a island). The facilities of the hotel are great and well maintained. The yoga classes during sunrise or sunset on the yoga deck were perfect, with an amazing teacher. Fitness space is well equipped and modern. In general, the hotel is a very good place for a stay in Watamu. The staff is very attentive to our needs. Breakfast is good.

Dinner buffet is expensive compare to all the restaurants in Watamu. The room was not so clean, the hallway light bulb was missing but nobody replaced it, the shower curtain not long enough so every time we would take a shower, the entire bathroom was full of water and the safe-deposit box was not closing. We booked a table at the Lichthaus, as advised by the staff. But when we arrived, our reservation was not taken and we didnt not have any space. The spa was closed for renovation when we were there and they didnt tell us before, a bit disappointing since we didnt know before checking in. Those are just a few details that if fixed, would make the experience entirely perfect.

Passable

Temple Point Resort!

The pool area and the Lichthaus bar were quite nice great places to hang out and enjoy a meal. The beds were also comfortable with a nice view of the garden/sea. Beautiful sea/ beach area quite scenic great for morning or evening walks.

Areas to improve on would mostly be the rooms at least have a telephone line in the room had to either walk to reception or physically find a staff if I needed assistance. There was no TV in the room, and maybe some of the furniture and wardrobe in the room needed some improvements/upgrades. Also, the area from Lichthaus to the gate needs some lightning it was quite dark. Maybe have a few available tables and nets for in-house guests at Lichthaus bar. we kind of had to hustle to get one, especially during sunsets when the space was quite busy. I'm not sure if an expansion is possible without necessarily interrupting marine life, so maybe adding a floor to the space.
