The hotel

This 850-acre oasis is the perfect destination for those who want to immerse themselves in Hawaii’s scenic splendour, with plenty of excellent water sports to hand, a world-class spa and some of the best accommodation on the island. The pool complex is quite simply incredible and comes complete with a 70-ft main pool area, two secluded spa tubs, a large children’s pool and an upper-level pool with rock waterfall and 80-ft slide. Sports fans will also appreciate the use of two 18-hole championship golf courses, floodlit tennis courts and a fitness centre. Nearby are legendary surf spots Sunset Beach, the Branzai Pipeline and Waimea Bay so walk on down and enjoy the Beach! If you want to spoil yourselves, the beach cottages are superb, set along the shores of Turtle Bay in clusters of six. Guest rooms and suites are also impressive with every modern amenity included to ensure a supremely comfortable stay. Dining options include 21 Degrees North, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of Turtle Bay from floor-to-ceiling windows whilst feasting on contemporary island cuisine. There’s also Palm Terrace with its exhibition kitchen, Hang Ten Bar & Grill, serving one of the island's best Mai Tai cocktails and Ola, making the most of local produce.

Staff were very helpful and welcoming; everyone - front desk, bellmen, housekeepers, and servers - made us feel very welcomed and special! Thoroughly enjoyed both Roy's and Lei Lei Restaurants on property. So looking forward to our next visit in the coming months/year!

I only thought of one place to go to for my birthday this year and that was the amazing Turtle Bay Resort. From the friendly staff to the quality amenities and awesome service, there's nowhere else I would go to get that R&R time. I will be back again!

We wanted somewhere to get away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and play a few rounds of golf, and this was the perfect place to do it.

We wanted somewhere to get away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and play a few rounds of golf, and this was the perfect place to do it. We tried both courses (the Fazio twice) in 4 days, rode horses at the on-site stables, swam in the pool, lay on the beach, ate at the restaurants (Pa'akai and Roy's Beach House), and had our portraits taken by Blinnk Photography. We cannot say enough good things about this resort. First, the rooms were lovely. You really do get ocean views from every single room. Beds were comfortable, it had a huge smart TV and free DVD rentals in the lobby. Bathrooms were modern and updated. Restaurants were great. We made reservations at Pa'akai and the food was phenomenal. A little pricey, yes, but worth it IMO. Local and fresh. Roy's Beach House was exactly as I have come to know and love from years of dining at Roy's Waikiki. Blinnk Photography took some portraits for us to commemorate our honeymoon and they are *stunning*. Justin was friendly, engaging, professional and SO talented. He put us at ease and caught some great shots at sunset on the beach. We made last minute reservations to do a trail ride through the on-site stables. The horses were nice and well behaved. I'm an experienced rider but my husband had never been on a horse before. I was disappointed in the complete lack of any orientation, and the guide barely said a word unless specifically asked. I was expecting a guided tour of the area. Had I known this I would've booked at the nearby Kualoa Ranch instead for comparable prices. Golf was incredible. Two lovely courses. The rental clubs (Titleist) were fabulous, better than my clubs at home, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We came for the golf and will go back for the same reason. Worth it. Pros: - several restaurant options if you don't want to leave the resort - fabulous beachfronts - continental breakfast & daily snacks on the 6th floor executive level were awesome - personal concierge was amazing, as was the activity desk Cons: - There was only one pool so there were a lot of screaming kids around at all times. - Parking was at a premium, if you didn't get a spot early you had to park miles away (like at the golf course). For an extra $10/day just do valet parking. - water took ages (like 5-10 mins) to get hot for showers in our room. We had to turn it on and let it run for a while before we showered. We complained to the front desk and they just sort of laughed it off, "oh yeah, it takes a while eh?" Meanwhile we're wasting hundreds of litres of water. It was fine once it got hot tho. Read less

Really bad and unpleasant. Rude staff and overpriced. Unclean rooms and all the in room amenities were old an not tolerable. This should not be a high priced hotel especially since they will charge you another 300 dollars in hidden fees.
