A truly beautiful resort to spend your family vacation at. My husband, our two girls, and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this resort. Rooms The rooms were spacious and clean. Food The food at the Kangan restaurant was very tasty, and the team was great. Thank you to Vakash and all the team. The only feedback I would like to give is that the buffet could have more vegetarian options. Team Every team member at the resort was lovely. A very lovely young lady from the bar was always smiling; it was always pleasant to see her beautiful smile daily and her interaction with my 2 little girls. Vimal is such a nice gentleman; he makes the best masala chai. He was lovely with all the kids at the resort. Varousha from housekeeping did a great job cleaning our room. Overall, all the team members at the resort were really lovely. I cannot fault any of the staff at this resort; they were always smiling and always there to help. I would like to thank each and every one of them for making our experience great. We will definitely consider this resort again in the future. Read less

Along with my family, we spent two nights at the Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa from 23 to 25 April 2024. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality by the professional staff of the front desk. The rooms are elegantly designed, featuring modern amenities and private balconies or terraces, overlooking the ocean or gardens. The culinary experience was exceptional ranging from international cuisine to local delicacies. The staff is highly professional and friendly, stiving to meet the needs of the clients. I wish to mention here a few of them, who were really outstanding: Soonita, Emy, Kevin, Roshan, Seam, Terry, Vishal, Bilall, Sameer, Alisha, Nitya, Raja, Udai Rajeev, Pradeep, Roshan and Tashlima.
