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.

Stayed at Turtle Bay on the Night of our wedding. Only room left was an ada room so no complaints there regarding the non traditional room/ bathroom. Was definitely not impressed by the customer service though. On check in as we got our room key the lady checking us in never cracked a smile nor did she acknowledge the fact that we just got married (my wife was still in her wedding gown). The room view was great as it overlooked Roy’s and that side of T Bay. Unfortunately no bath robes were provided in the room which I thought was odd for a $400 a night room. The biggest thing though that I was disappointed with was again customer service/ never even got a card from T Bay to acknowledge the fact that we were spending our wedding night there. The valet guys weren’t very nice either. They didn’t acknowledge the fact that we were standing right there as they pulled my truck up. So I had to go ask again for my keys and say hey guys that’s my truck you just drove up can I get my keys. Just no personal service at all. I’m actually bummed I tipped them, cause they were kinda agro. Again not nice, no smiles to be had. I get it that they’re probably over tourists but it’s their job to be nice especially when I’m just trying to be nice to them. We live in Waialua on the North Shore and now I kinda feel bad for tourists who have to get treated like how I was treated at T Bay. Read less

I wouldn't call it great. But it's pretty damn good. Older hotel, and it's feeling it's age in some places, but overall, you're going to be paying resort prices for the best resort on the North Shore of Oahu.

Staying Turtle Bay was the best decision about our trip to Hawaii. The resort embodied perfection; the staff was fantastic, activities were vast, food was wonderful and the sights were breathtaking. This is a resort where they pay attention to every little detail in order to stand out....make a good decision today, and stay at Turtle Bay!

Overpriced. Food average. Restaurants closed two days of the week, the bar closed one day of the week. We were there for three days and couldnt access these facilities. No other facilities were explained to us upon arrival or at any time during our stay. You cannot keep snorkeling equipment past 4:30 in the afternoon..you have to return every day.… Read more
