Temple Point Resort is a very well run clean and comfortable hotel. The service is good, the staff friendly and all works out great. The resort is a beautiful garden, there are terraces to the rooms, some are for individual rooms, some are shared from several rooms. In the morning, the monkeys often frolic there, which is very amusing!
The breakfast is English style, egg dishes are freshly prepared on request, the many fresh fruits are a dream! The food for half board is good, something for everyone. If you order at noon in the restaurant, it is even a little better.
The light house is a very special place, especially at sunset. On weekends you should book the place, it can get very crowded. As a house guest, you have preference, but the coveted seats directly over the water are quickly gone.
But now to the diving: Matthias, the base leader, has set up a perfect organization, many thanks! Also if you have questions about activities and restaurants in Watamu be sure to ask Matthias, he has many useful tips. The dive guides are very good, know their stuff, pay attention and keep a good eye on everyone. Thanks to Steve, Baya and Frank! As an over 60 diver with a few limitations I felt well taken care of. Jacket off in the water, no problem, help with donning and with fins, all great. Thanks to the captains of the boats!
There are two-tank dives, the first one starts in relatively calm seas, when you surface it is already wavier. During the morning the wind and swell get stronger, after the second dive the return to the boat can be more challenging - at least for me. There it did not go without help, which was always there.
Frequent drift dives, I recommend everyone to have a buoy with them to be on the safe side. The swell is often noticeable in the depth. Great dive sites, lots of fish, carpets of soft corals, nudibranchs in all colors, lobsters, turtles, once dolphins and a very special surprise at 30 m, which shall not be named here, just great! The visibility was never very clear, because a lot of plankton makes a lot of fish, life is raging. I enjoyed every day.
Also the safari in Tsavo East National Park was great, please definitely book and do from Germany!
