The service was great and yes we will most definitely stay there again if we go back to Oahu. My husband and I liked staying ... at the North shore because we very much enjoyed the quietness. If you plan on going back and forth to Waikiki or Honolulu, would recommend you stay in those areas because the North shore is about an hour drive. Really, the only complaint we have is the carpet in our room was very dirty.

the hotel was wonderful, the resort was so quiet and peaceful. The sunsets were amazing. They acutally post that after 9pm ... is quiet time in the hotel which is what we wanted-the peacefulness of true Hawaii. The only thing i would change is they could use better mattresses at the hotel, they were alittle uncomfortable. The snorkeling spots down the road from the hotel were gorgeous. we saw turtles swimming while we were swimming in the ocean on the hotel property. It was amazing.

The way the hotel is situated, almost every room has an ocean view, which includes a glimpse of Turtle Bay's immaculate ... grounds. We enjoyed the Saturday night seafood and prime rib buffet at Palm Terrace. Snorkeling is fun, but allotting more than one hour with the equipment would go a long way to enhance the experience. All staff encountered were friendly and professional. Overall (on a scale of 1 - 10), compared to other trips I'd give this trip a 8.5, which is pretty sweet!
Traveler type: Couples
The seafood and prime rib buffet at Palm Terrace is a good deal. However, I found the Kona Brewing Company Koko Marina Center at 7192 Kalaniana'ole Highway, Honolulu to be a great value dining alternative to Turtle Bay's offerings of Palm Terrace etc. The drive is a nice one, and dining on the patio overlooking the marina was great. Also, the food and beer pairings are excellent, and the prices are on par with most of your favorite family restaurants.

TURTLE BAY RESORT TRIP
tannymfg Nov 3, 2009
This resort is Heavenly with polite staff, extremely clean and well decorated rooms. We stayed in the beach cottages over ... looking the ocean 10 feet from our room. We were pleasantly surprised how tastefully our room was decorated. The bathroom is beautiful done in white bead board decor and marble counter tops and marble tile floors. The bath tub is at least a 200 gallon tub that is to die for!!! The ceilings of the cottage are cathedral which makes the room seem larger. Perfect size for a family too! We dined almost nightly on our private lanai and the staff set up the table elegantly with white linens and flowers. We received fresh fruit daily from housecleaning and fresh baked cookies and/or chocolates nightly with the turn down service. We loved the hammocks near the water a few steps from our lanai! Fantastic place to relax and watch the sunsets, listen to the ocean or nap. The Luau at the hotel on Friday nights is superb (A+). Worth the $$$!!!! Truly a paradise vacation at the Turtle Bay Resort! Miles of remote beaches on the hotel property. I would recommend this resort to everyone that wants a quality vacation. We are ready to go again!!

Spur of the Moment Getaway
california mom Nov 2, 2009
This was a spur of the moment thing for ourselves as a couple celebrating our 25th yr wedding anniversary. We already spent ... the previous days in Las Vegas. [...] We have heard about Turtle Bay before but it was more than i expected as far as location was concerned. The place is isolated and not as busy, its not too commercialized. we ve been to Maui before and theres lots of people. If we have to choose again i would go back to Turtle Bay and not for a few nights but at least a weeks stay. During our stay we went to eat at the hole in the wall eating places, the shrimp trucks, the fruit stands along the way. Its nice to blend in with the locals. These are options for dining. Get out of the hotel and explore! Its enjoyable. We did a lot and during our 3 nite stay.

Loving Life on the North Shore
Honeymooners Nov 1, 2009
Hawaii was an obvious front-runner as we considered places to honeymoon. We narrowed it down to O'ahu. Rather than being ... stacked on top of the crowds near Waikiki, we thought the laid back North Shore would be a more relaxing option. We couldn't have been more right about this and happy to have chosen Turtle Bay. Everything about our stay was 1st class (friendly staff, beautiful property, and great location). We rented a car for the week which gave us the opportunity to explore the entire island at our own pace (including a few hours on Waikiki which was more than enough). We spent a couple days lounging comfortably on the beaches at the resort and even managed some snorkeling without the crowds that are found at other locations (i.e. Hanauma Bay - also a must see but crowded). The surf town of Haleiwa is a short drive away and gives you some more reasonably priced dining options (is there a resort anywhere in the world where the food isn't overpriced?). That said, we loved the resort and everything about this part of the island. One of the most relaxing and enjoyable vacations we have taken. We will stay there again!!
Traveler type: Couples
Before this trip, we were given a guidebook titled "Oahu Revealed" by Andrew Doughty. It was very useful in helping us to find a lot of lesser well-known sights and also providing some interesting history of the island. In general, the North Shore is a very laid back and slower paced part of the island (except high surf season Nov-Feb) while Waikiki is a nice beach with hotels stacked one on top of another at the heart of a major metropolis. Both would be nice places to stay...but very different scenes.

Needs an update!
Jen Oct 19, 2009
This hotel has a great location if you want to be away from the busy down town area. It really felt like we were on a remote ... tropical island. However, the place really needs some repairs and be more organized .When we arrived we were informed that we were being up-graded to a 3 bedroom suite due to an over-booking accident on their end. Awesome suite but not a lot of privacy for 2 couples, plus we had to be out by the next day. The upgrade was not for the entire stay. Our rooms in the main hotel were in some serious need of repair. Tile in the bathroom was cracked, the carpet was coming up near the corners and the walls had several signs of water damage. Honestly I have stayed in Holiday Inn's that were nicer and hundreds of dollars cheaper. The staff was very friendly though which kinda made up for things and we had an overall good time.

More Secluded, Tropical Paradise
KingsFan Oct 7, 2009
Turtle Bay Resort was a fantastic, secluded place to stay on Hawaii. It was much more secluded than Honolulu or Waikiki ... which were more like a big city than a tropical paradise. The resort features some awesome golf courses, tennis courts, horseback riding, snorkeling, cool pools (although the jets in the hot tubs weren't always working), and much more. There is a $20 resort fee per day, but I'm not complaining. Food on the resort is pricey. If you have a car and can get to a neighboring area (Ted's Bakery or Haleiwa), the cost is more reasonable. There were mostly couples and business people there. There were definitely a fair share of families too. Not a hot spot for singles - most everyone there is already hooked up.
Traveler type: Couples
Go to Ted's Bakery just West of Turtle Bay or into Haweiwa (Haleiwa Joe's, Chanos, Cafe Haleiwa (for breakfast)). There is Shave Ice there that is a must. Everyone that had the ice cream on the bottom recommends it enthusiastically.

Wonderful, quiet "true Hawaiian" vacatio
Hawaiian wannabies Oct 1, 2009
We loved Turtle Bay resort! The staff was very friendly & helpful. Our favorite thing was the lanai with a magnificent view ... of the surf. The room was great. We're not fans of Waikiki (seems like Las Vegas with a beach), so we loved the quiet, true Hawaiian feel. Plenty of activities to do, or not. We loved the "hiking" trails in the resort--jungle to beach and back again. Snorkeling is fun-Hanauma Bay is a must, along with Shark's cove. We were lucky & saw turtles in three different places, and a couple of seals sunning themselves. We didn't want to come home & are already talking about our next visit.

Not as many options on the North Shore. Hotel favorite was Lei Lei's by the golf course! All are pretty pricey. Our favorite eatery was in Haleiwa--The Grass Skirt Grill! Super fresh fish & reasonable ($13/pp for a plate lunch or dinner). Haleiwa Joe's was excellent as well, less casual, & more $$, but worth it. Don't miss Matsumoto's, or Ted's Bakery (chocolate haupia pie & coconut moons).

The hotel doesn't give you a copy of your room charges at any of the restaurants, bars etc. So it is really easy to loose track of what you've spent here.
