Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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!

Disliked: Staff & service
Samuel, front desk staff, made the experience a horrible one because he was extremely impolite, unwelcoming, and condescending when I arrived to check in. The resort has otherwise been incredible but an uncouth first impression by employee Samuel, made me wish I had booked a different resort. So I hope the management will address this issue because if they don't, their reputation will be tarnished all because of one employee.

Very nice property and beautiful surroundings! My issue was the thin foam mattress, not a mattress which should be at a resort for the price you pay.

Temple Point made me fall in love with Watamu. Such a beautiful property with well thought out nature spots! The private beach is divine, and you can walk all the way to Garoua beach. The sunset view at Lichtaus is epic and they OCA spot plus spa so cool. As you can guess, I will be back! The managers were also super friendly, felt really at home on my solo trip.

Très beau resort avec de grandes chambres
Beau resort avec un personnel très aimable et efficace. Très belle chambre avec une grande terrasse privative. Bien situé, une immense piscine d'eau de mer et une petite plage privée et très mignonne à proximité. Soirée du 31 décembre très bien organisée et réussie. Seule la qualité de la restauration pourrait être améliorée.

Ben organizzato e strutturato.
Sicuramente da consigliare a chi cerca una struttura con tutti i comfort. Nulla da segnalare in negativo se non la cucina poco internazionale.
