I have just returned from a 2 week stay at Turtle Bay with my boyfriend. Ignore the people rating the hotel 1 star and moaning, we had a great time! 1) yes, there is no TV but you're on holiday in Africa - YOU DONT NEED TV! 2) there is wifi in the pool/restaurant area and the hotel lobby. 3)...

The person at the reception didn't know the Internet password! The area below my bed was very dusty and dirty. Food was below average.... More
