The Turtle Bay Resort offers breathtaking views and a variety of activities, making it a memorable destination. While my family enjoyed the spacious room and the numerous outdoor adventures available, we found the dining options to be quite lacking in quality given the high prices and the service sometimes fell short of expectations. Overall, it was a good experience but with room for improvement.

7.2/10

Our stay at Turtle Bay Resort was overall quite pleasant, with spacious and comfortable accommodations and a variety of on-site activities. However, certain amenities, like sun lounges and umbrellas at the beach, come at an extra cost, which adds up quickly. The dining options were enjoyable but also pricey, and the service, while friendly, occasionally fell short of expectations.

Rooms

The junior suite we stayed in was spacious but had a strong mildew smell, which was quite off-putting. The amenities were limited with just a coffee machine and a small fridge, but the bed was very comfortable.

Service

7.0

The concierge was very helpful when it came to organizing activities and providing information, but we did experience some delays with communication during our stay.

Location

7.0

While Turtle Bay offers a beautiful and peaceful setting, it is fairly isolated. It took about 20 minutes to drive to restaurants or other activities, which may not be ideal for everyone.

Dining

8.0

The dining at the resort was pleasant, especially the restaurant by the beach where we enjoyed great service and tasty mai tais. However, the menu items were on the expensive side, potentially limiting for some budgets.

Facilities

7.0

The on-site facilities were good, featuring both a toddler pool and a separate kids' pool, which were great for families, but the charges for beach amenities made it feel less all-inclusive.

My stay at Turtle Bay Resort had its highs and lows. The stunning scenery and plethora of activities available made for a memorable experience, but I had a frustrating encounter with the costly pet policy and some service hiccups. It was unfortunate that the welcome gifts we were promised for the wedding were never received, adding to the disappointment. Overall, while the resort has incredible amenities and a beautiful setting, the value for the high price is questionable.

Rooms
