Reviews and Ratings
This resort has a great array of pools, which my kids absolutely loved. It's not far from the beach, but it does require a bit of a walk, especially with roadwork in the area. The dining options were decent, and I found the meals at the cafe generous. However, the lack of air conditioning in the bedrooms made it quite stuffy, which was a real drawback for us. Overall, it’s a solid choice for families with younger kids, but it may not be the best fit for everyone.
Our stay was marred by cleanliness issues and poor service. The accommodation was spacious enough for our family, but the level of cleanliness left much to be desired. The proximity to family-friendly activities like the splash park was great, but the lack of attention from the staff really impacted our experience. Overall, it was a decent place for families, but definitely not without its flaws.
We had a pleasant stay overall, as the hotel is fantastic for families with plenty of facilities and activities without sacrificing room comfort. The staff were very attentive and friendly, which made a big difference. However, it can get quite noisy with children around, and we struggled with some room issues that affected our comfort. While the dining options onsite were a bit pricey and not the best, the public transportation access was a great perk.
Turtle Beach Resort has a lot to offer for families, with great pools and plenty of activities for kids, making it a fun destination. The accommodations, however, are a bit dated and lacking in some maintenance, which detracts from the overall experience. While we enjoyed our stay, the uncommunicated closure of key amenities prior to our arrival was disappointing. Overall, it’s a good spot for families but could use some improvements.
We had a lovely time at Turtle Beach Resort, especially the kids loved the water slides and pools, which kept them entertained while we enjoyed some quiet time. The staff were super helpful, and our son had a blast at the kids club. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, but parking was a hassle, which was a bit of a downside. Overall, it's a great spot for families, but I hope they improve the parking situation for our next visit.
