## Top Watamu Hotel Reviews

### Sun Palm Beach Resort

4/10 Poor

"Check in went poorly as there was some confusion regarding a change in meal options. Then the room we were put in had a leaky A/C unit so we were moved to another room which we then had problems with the door lock. I have to say that with all of these minor problems they were rectified very quickly. I was surprised to find there was no refrigerator in the rooms but I should have checked the facilities provided. I dont know why they provide a tv when there in nothing you can watch on it and not even a communal tv where sports can be watched. We had opted for the dinner option for the first evening and on going to the restaurant where dinner was being served found a very limited variety of dishes available. After serving myself I returned to my table and started to eat only to find everything was cold. I asked my wife how her food was and she said hers was also cold. I then went and checked the baine maries and found they were all cold, well definitely not anywhere close to the 60 degrees Celsius they should be. I then complained about the cold food and pointed out that the possibility of food poisoning using cold baine maries was a real possibility. They then took my plate of food away and about five minutes later returned with the same plate of food and indicated it had been reheated, again a perfect recipe for food poisoning, but it was actually cold. I then left the restaurant and went to reception asking to see a supervisor or even better the manager. Not good "
