Amazing stay

The facility and location are beautiful. I would almost give it 5 stars in every category, but with the acception of food. I thought the food prices for the food quality weren't worth it. The 1st evenings dinner, a shared appetizer, I had fish and my wife had chicken, two deserts and diet cokes. Total price after tipping was about $210. The fish was over cooked and the chicken tough. 2nd evening we were not as hungry so we shared an entre, split a salad and a dessert with diet cokes. $150. The entre was good and the the salad was not. So rather than just eat on site during our 9 day stay, we were looking for other places to eat . We found the grocery store in Laie and the food carts to be our best option. We also requested a microwave for the room.

Turtle Bay screams quality in every way. The full resort is recently renovated including the lobby, restaurants and rooms.
It is located on the north shore of Oahu which is pretty isolated, with no other resorts in the area. This isolation was noticeable in the lack of crowds at the near by beaches and ease of restaurant reservations.
If considering Hawaiian resorts, please look at Turtle Bay.

Quality/location/view from the room did not match the price. Concierge staff never got back to us about activity availability, even after three separate contacts with them. Staff at snack/coffee bar are painfully slow and inefficient. Would not have expected this type of resort to nickel and dime you for every activity, but they do. Been here three times now, won’t be back.

The hotel is isolated and WAY overpriced. It’s a beautiful location, but extremely windy, rainy, and cold.
The food and drink service is insanely overpriced and very poor quality.
The staff were all very polite and friendly.
I would not stay here again.

Expensive! Whats nice- its far away from the touristy areas. Whats bad- pricey- limited options for food if you have kids and everything comes with a cost, even when you pay the resort fee. Not a great place for tweens. We spent most of our time leaving the resort to find activities.

The amazing scenery with easy access to sunrise and sunset views, the beautiful beach with great snorkelling opportunities, and the wonderful activities and staff made this resort the highlight of our trip.

Great place to stay and be able to swim right out the back door of motel in bay or pool. Never felt crowded and service is great. Lots to explore on resort and around the north shore.
Only complaint is I was really looking forward to a nice comfortable bed since it’s such a nice resort and the cost of staying there led me to believe they’d have top of the line beds, right? But no..they were so hard and stiff it was hurting my shoulders and hips. Woke up multiple times every night aching and sore in the morning. Big disappointment.

Beautiful property, something for everyone. Close to town if you want other food options. Everyone was courteous and ensured you had a wonderful stay. Our room service was great - especially Glenda, she made sure we had everything we needed and always greeted us with a friendly smile. Will return next time with kids!

Despite its promise, this hotel property failed to impress.
We were traveling with two teens. We were drawn by the recent renovations and the promise of large property with purported many offerings. If you intend to have a romantic stay for a surfing couple, this is your place; otherwise, be very aware of its shortcomings.
The staff were mostly welcoming. They were clearly overworked, esp over the Thanksgiving rush of travelers. The location was amazing, but very isolated; it’s about an hour from HNL, so a rental car is a must. Note that the hotel promotes an EV rental feature, but this turned out to be total dud! There is no fast charger that is exclusive to this program, and the nearest supercharger is in HNL. Rent a car if you want to see the North shore, believe me.
The hotel suffers from inadequate staffing. If there is an opportunity take money from you, they are very available to take your drink order, but there is no one to clean up the pool deck chairs! Similarly, the beach area does not have a lifeguard, and this is nonsensical for the North shore and the family friendly ethos that the property wishes to promote. During our stay, there was a near-drowning event where a dozen parents jumped in to search for a boy, while the beach staff showed no interest in calling for help, much less helping themselves. The pools are small/not heated, the slides are boring and congested, and the amenities are very limited, (45min bike rental). Disappointing place for family!

The property is amazing. Beaches are perfect. There’s trails nearby to see neat sites and plenty to keep us busy just within the resort. Food was very very good at all the restaurants. We ate at Roy’s twice! Had room service some days vs breakfast buffet. That worked better for us. Our view from the room was beautiful. We had beachfront with balcony overlooking the pool and ocean. So pretty! I loved this resort. And I highly recommend the Paniolo Cowboy Luau too. Best food and fun.

After a week in the hubbub of Waikiki for a wedding it was grand to visit the north shore and turtle bay for a luxurious getaway. Peaceful, elegant and well appointed, we’re already planning our return

Perfect blend of great service and facilities while allowing privacy and autonomy. Beautiful setting and nice food options. Yes, it’s expensive, but if you’ve decided a good resort is the right choice for you, you probably can’t do better.

My husband and I were there celebrating our Honeymoon. The hotel is amazing and has something for everyone. We started every morning with a bike ride utilizing the complimentary bikes Turtle Bay offers. There are a handful of pools and hot tubs to relax in and we’re always able to find loungers/umbrellas.
And where the hotel is situated, there always seems to be optimal sunset viewing. It is also nice that every room is ocean view, eliminating the need to make a choice between ocean or garden view. The beach was beautiful and there was always a daily sea turtle visitor.
The staff we’re great and made us feel like celebrities. Every day was not complete without Dennis serving us up Mai Tais at the Sunset Bar. Vince was an all-star too!

We had an excellent stay and enjoyed the pools, beaches, hiking, and nearby snorkeling and food. A little expensive but understandably.

Everything was great except for their so called signature restaurant Alaia. We both had the $90 Filet which was the same quality you could get at any road side diner. My wife’s steak had a vein of fat running through the middle and the sweet potato side was inedible. When we complained to the waiter who looked like he should be working as a butcher at a grocery store he offered to replace it with the smashed Parmesan potato’s. When they showed up 30 seconds later they were dry and hard like they had been sitting under a heat lamp for the last 2 hours. When we got the check which was over $300 we saw that he had charged us for the new potato that was also inedible! We complained to the concierge and the front desk about our experience but nothing was done about it. This is absolutely one of the worst restaurant experiences we have ever had. Do yourself a favor and go to The Beach House offsite they are a high end restaurant that knows what their doing and it cost half as much!
