Top Prawn Lake Hotel Reviews

Turtle Bay Beach Club

8/10 Good

"Had a fantastic stay at Turtle Beach. The room was clean, but very hard beds. The food was varied with multiple options for every meal. The staff was friendly and helpful, but it was frustrating the number that asked about jobs in Canada and offering private tours. I would definitely stay again and recommend to others"

Rock and Sea Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful place, for people looking to seek a different type of experience, we stayed in the lagoon bubble lodge, lovely view of the lagoon. Monkeys jumping on top in the morning which we were lucky to see as we slept. One of the best pools to swim and relax. Staff and owners very welcoming and helpfull. Lovely facility of boat ride to take you to otherside which by road takes 50 mins. Would definitely recommend to people seeking a luxury outdoor experience."

Mvuvi Lodge Watamu

"the property is very clean and all the staff are extremely friendly. They made me feel very relaxed and safe. Most days I had the sole use of the pool! Perhaps the chef could do with a few pointers and it would have been great to have a small fridge in my room which was lovely and clean. was well cared for and really enjoyed my stay....5 gold stars!"
