Great for the younger children with the different swimming areas and mini golf. Rooms are very dated. 2 adults, stayed for 5 nights and was only given half a toilet roll of paper and had to supply your own. 2 averaged sized Coffee mugs but 1 handle was broken, should have been replaced already. Comfortable bed but only had 1 thin blanket on the bed (great for summer but we stayed during winter). Plenty of onsite parking included in your accommodation.

Overall we had a great time. My husband cut his finger pretty bad on a broken tile in one of the pools. Borderline needed a hospital visit and stitches. Staff really could have handled the situation better. Concern could have been more and the tiles were not fixed. If a child cut their finger the way he did then could have been a lot worse for a tiny finger. Property was clean. Could have been more complimentary dishwasher powder and toilet paper. 2 rolls for a family of 4 for 7 nights isn’t going to cut it. Overall though great for the kids, will return.

We loved our stay at Turtle Beach Resort. Our room was clean and spacious with a beautiful view overlooking the pool area and The Deck. The food and coffee from The Deck was delicious and served quickly. Although we went out most days, we could have quite easily never left the resort and still had an amazing holiday. We will be back

It's location is perfect and parking includes meant we were a short drive to so many places. The property is tired but clean and staff are lovely. Would have rated higher if the pools were heated but the heater was under repair whilst we were there so it was cold but our daughter and lots of the kids still managed to enjoy!

I loved the accommodation it self, so clean and well maintained. I did not like the stairs and have health issues that affected me whilst carrying things up and down. The TV had no netflix which was hard to keep my 6 year old entertained during a rainy weekend. Staff for children activities seemed unenthusiastic and could have let me kids inside the art room to do class due to heavy winds and cold breeze that weekend.

I didn’t hate or love this place. There were so many good things - ie pools and slides etc. however the water was freezing in all pools so the spas were crowded. Apartment had a lot going for it, however slightly dated and no lifts. The wifi was the worst I have ever experienced with no connection ever. It seems those who frequent this place are dishonest - our daughter misplaced a hat which noone turned in. We then had a charge to our room for tennis which we did not play. We may return but only for the location once the light rail out the front is built.
