My family and I had an unforgettable stay at this resort! The kids' club is exceptional, providing meaningful and fun activities that my daughter loved. The pools are fantastic for both adults and kids, and the beach is lovely. Although the dining options were excellent and varied, I found the mattress in our room a bit uncomfortable. Overall, it’s a great family-friendly place with lots to offer, but a few improvements could make it even better.

Our experience at Turtle Bay was memorable, thanks to its beautiful setting by the Indian Ocean and the exciting activities available. While the rooms were comfortable and had a nice Swahili theme, the dining left something to be desired, particularly with repetitive menu options and bland food. The service was friendly and accommodating, and overall, it was a relaxing spot for a getaway.

I had a wonderful stay, with the hotel featuring multiple swimming pools and plenty of activities throughout my time there. The rooms were spacious with a lovely view, although some aspects of service were lacking and left me wanting more. Dining was enjoyable with good food options, but there could be more variety.

I had a bit of a mixed experience at the hotel. The staff were incredibly helpful and the beach was simply amazing. However, some cleanliness issues in our room and a noisy atmosphere with large groups made it less enjoyable than I hoped. Overall, the location is stunning, but I wouldn't recommend it for those seeking a peaceful retreat.

My stay at the resort was a mix of highs and lows. On one hand, the location right on the beach is unbeatable, and it was great to enjoy activities like snorkeling. The staff were incredibly accommodating and attentive. However, the rooms felt dated, and I had a few issues with cleanliness. The dining options were also a bit underwhelming, with limited variety and some food that didn't sit well with me. Overall, while there are delightful aspects to this resort, it’s not without its flaws.
