We chose turtle beach resort with the huge slash & slide, as a place to meet up with several family members, all of us travelling long distances with kids, to attend a wedding. The idea was to give the kids something really fun to reward them after the tedious journey there, & let their wild side out, with maximum fun in the minimum time we had before getting ready for the wedding. But when we arrived, the big splash & slide was closed for renovations. At no point were we, the customers informed of this before booking or at check in. What a let down. We certainly wouldn’t have booked here. Or we would have expected some type of consolation for the let down. Also the deadlock on our apartment door was not functional, so as soon as the toddlers realised they could open the front door, none of the parents could relax, we had to be on high alert monitoring that door. Also the apartment staircase is very very steep, so definitely also required monitoring & assistance for small children, & anyone carrying a child, or going up or down at night. Sensor lights for the staircase or continuous rail might have helped make that safer. Otherwise the apartment was lovely, clean. staff were lovely & responsive. They did confidently give us wrong info about the women’s change rooms in the pool areas being suitable to begin getting ready for our wedding. There wasn’t women’s rooms. Just a unisex cubical & an outdoor shower. But they did organise an early check in soon after. Much Appreciated.

All in all, it was good. Loud at times, but expected during the busy period. One of pools wasn’t available on one of the days we were there, which was a shame because it was my son’s favourite water slide after the splash pad. Everything was clean which was good. The rooms are slightly outdated, but it had everything we needed for the time we stayed. Parking was a challenge with a taller vehicle, but we mostly worked it out. There’s a lot of road works outside the resort, so keep that in mind if you’re staying here. Thanks for the great time and great memories 😊

We spent a nice week at Turtle Beach Resort. Overall, the experience was ok. However, I have a few comments to mention: - Swimming pools are usually not very clean. I think they clean it every day, but the pool floors are not clean, and the pool water has many bugs and insects. - My booking says daily room service and cleaning. However, they did it only once on check-in. When I called them, they mentioned that they charge extra for room service. - Even for simple things (like rubbish bags, towels, etc.), they asked us to purchase those ourselves as they won't provide them.
