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.

Turtle Bay is relatively remote with few food/activity options outside of the resort - at least without driving a fair distance on a 2 lane “highway” with lots of traffic and potholes.

Turtle Bay is relatively remote with few food/activity options outside of the resort - at least without driving a fair distance on a 2 lane “highway” with lots of traffic and potholes. The hotel is older - the staff are friendly. We were there for 13 nights and with only 3 restaurants on site (and nothing but food trucks within a 20 to 60 minute drive, depending on the traffic) I’m thinking 4 or 5 days would be OK. Also, beware of the $45 per day resort fee and $15 self park daily fee for a spot in the back lots. Maybe I should have just paid $25 a day for valet..... Read less

Beautiful place to stay. Incredible views. So many things to do. Would stay there again. Great location if you aare trying to stay away from the crowded, touristy areas of downtown Honolulu/Waikiki. Located minutes from beautiful beaches with great surfing and snorkeling, as well as sun bathing.

We love this spot and had to share it with our family. The best spot on the North Shore, but only 50 min drive to the heart of Waikiki. We treasure the snorkling here and the pool is just the best hotel pool in Hawaii. We'll be back.

We stayed for a wedding held at the hotel. The bride asked if we enjoyed our welcome gifts, which were never given to us by the hotel. This included our itinerary of events so we were late to a couple of pre-wedding functions. We found a bedbug within minutes of walking into our room. Housekeeping confirmed it was a bedbug, along with night manager. However it took an hour to get us a new room, that we had to leave the next morning to check into another room. In return for our troubles, The night manager assured us we “would be taken care of”. When we received our full bill, I asked for the charges to be reversed to equal one night stay because our first night was ruined. I had to fight for that as there was no information regarding our bedbug findings and being moved twice. The whole situation was disappointing for what was expected to be a lovely stay in a lovely hotel. Read less
