How do I start to describe the best hotel experience I had. Arriving at Mida Creek Hotel was like entering a quite oasis. You enter a kind of community hidden among the mangroves and the jungles by the shore of the creek. You can draw parallels to the movie "the Beach", in the sense of serenity, reclusiveness and beauty. You can go to the hotel by boat, driven by captain of the hotel, a kind and professional boatsman and fisherman. He also does sunset flamingo tours which we took and were absolutely impressed by! Hotel is also reachable by taxi, which the hotel can organize for you, strongly recommended! The hotel is isolated (which is a strong point), you are not bothered by salespeople or crowded beaches like in Malindi or Diani beach, and you have the creek almost to yourself. Even if you develop cabin fever, the captain is always to boat you. Staying isolated at the hotel won’t make you gastronomically bored either, as the hotel has managed to find the best chef on the Kenyan seaside! The menu has good varieties too, local food, burgers, pasta, seafood to name a few! It was one of the greatest food experiences we had in Kenya. Hotel quality is impeccable and is kept super clean and tidy by the greatest hotel staff we encountered – anywhere in the world. From cleaners to the barmen to the pool boy, they all contributed to making our stay as great as possible. It felt like you were staying at a family run hotel, they were all so kind, caring and sincere. The hotel also has that very local vibe, you truly feel Kenyan culture there. And you live in nature, literarily! Greenery, animals and birds are plentiful. Amazonian I would say. Special thanks to David, for being such cool guy and also organizing such memorable kayaking trip through the mangroves. It might sound too good to be true, but it actually was. The hotel had something that no other hotel we have stayed at has had – that feeling of arriving in a special place. Just like in The Beach.

Loved the fact that it was so exclusive, and how the owner / manager was so involved and accessible.

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!

I loved everything about this resort. The best food in watamu and the service is just excellent. Highly recommend this place

Everything. We visited the restaurant a year ago and had a fabulous meal. The pool was beautiful, and the hotel and restaurant also, all set in beautiful gardens. We decided to return and stay this year, again in September. We chose the Junior Suite on half board, option. It was superb. Lovely room with terrace and resident cat. Beautiful features all around. Very helpful and friendly staff. Great food. Well stocked bar. etc, etc. And so peaceful. Manni is a great host, and very attentive. Breakfasts were also excellent, and the half board option is great value. Eunice the masseuse, and the new spa area, were also fantastic. Finally, the location was also superb. Away from the noise and people of Watamu town, but only by a tuk tuk ride. And Garoda beach is an easy walk. We will be back.

The ambience, the staffs were very friendly, Kennedy at the reception was very welcoming, Jane in the restaurant always followed up if we were okay, the pools were clean, everything about it was at per.

Perfect place to stay if you are not looking for a noisy resort holiday stay. This is a place to relax. Staff was always ready with a smile to help you with all your needs. Structure is new, rooms are big and very clean. It is close to the beach and swimming pool was great after a day outside. We used the personal chef and I can assure you top service. I would surely recommend it.
