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.

We booked a king junior suite with an ocean view side which was facing the east, and the beach below. The room was nice and clean. Ordered room service a few times for breakfast, and courteous.

We booked a king junior suite with an ocean view side which was facing the east, and the beach below. The room was nice and clean. Ordered room service a few times for breakfast, and courteous. Not cheap, but you're in Hawaii you should expect to spend a few dollars. One thing I really appreciated with the room was the size of the bathroom, shower and vanity area to get ready. Pool was great, the bars and restaurants on site were friendly and great food. Again, expect to spend some money. Next time I would probably pay for the valet service. Not too much more and saves you a lot of time walking through the parking lot since its usually full. Read less

The location is amazing! We had a phenomenal time at Turtle Bay Resort. There are lots of things to do right around the resort, but also take time to drive around the island. The dining at the resort is quite expensive. If you go to the beach bar and dine there, it is more reasonable. The food trucks aren't far and have great options, also a little market with fresh fruit and grilled meats for a quick bite in the morning, the grocer isn't far up the road and we bought boiled eggs and yogurts, snacks, drinks to have in our room. The only thing is if there are wedding parties on the water side (back of hotel), it can be loud from the noise. We stayed for 10 nights and we loved it all. Highly recommended! Quiet and gorgeous views! Read less

My hubby and I prefer to rent homes/condos when we travel, but we booked Turtle Bay in March for a wedding. We thought the accommodations were nice, but not quite worth the price.

My hubby and I prefer to rent homes/condos when we travel, but we booked Turtle Bay in March for a wedding. We thought the accommodations were nice, but not quite worth the price. The resort could use an upgrade. Our room was clean and had a nice view of the beach. We also liked that there are two pools - one for families and one is adults-only. The grounds are pretty and we enjoyed watching surfers from the pool area. I would have liked if they had a better running path, although, the fitness room is awesome. During our stay, it poured almost the entire time, so we spent much of our time with friends in the hot tub. It was also just as the COVID crisis was becoming a problem, so the hotel was beginning to shut down. Given these factors, we know we didn’t enjoy our stay as much as we could have. As for the wedding, it was a beautiful ceremony and reception. All in all, we wouldn’t stay here again. Read less

This was one of the best vacations we have ever taken! Turtle bay is absolutely wonderful!! It is beautiful, everyone is nice and there are lots of activities to do. The room was great, we were on the vista floor, the breakfast was wonderful, we looked forward to it every morning. So glad they had lots of almond milk!

We stayed at Turtle Bay on our honeymoon briefly and were very disappointed. The reviews weren't great but we thought we would give it a shot regardless. Our room smelled quite old and musty to the point where it made my stomach upset so we tried a different one-- same problem.

We stayed at Turtle Bay on our honeymoon briefly and were very disappointed. The reviews weren't great but we thought we would give it a shot regardless. Our room smelled quite old and musty to the point where it made my stomach upset so we tried a different one-- same problem. The staff were helpful but at the end of this day this hotel is past its prime, I'd suggest a vacation rental to check out the North Shore. If you're expecting a beautiful well maintained resort, this isn't it. Read less
