Turtle Bay Resort

It’s not Waikiki

The location is remote but fabulous. The lobby and restaurants are nice. The rooms are dated. Very good veiws from most if not all rooms. Nice beachs and rocky shore to explore.

would like to live there forever.

everything fantastic, beautiful beaches all over the area. great resort.

you must have a car.

Awesome hotel for adults....If you have kids re-think it.

Turtle Bay Resort is beautiful. Beautiful location, Beautiful setting, Romantic, clean and most of the hotel staff are really nice. Food in the bar was horrible (especially the pizza) and other food we had was just OK. Great drinks at the outside bar. Resort is located pretty far from Waikiki so if you are looking for downtown excitement, this isn’t the place for you. We went into Haleweia to eat a lot (15 minutes drive). It takes about an hour to 1.5 hours to get to Waikiki. Only disappointment was the hotel is not kid friendly. Sure they have a game room. The waterslide is for "little" kids, nothing great. We took our 12 year old son and he was so bored. He got yelled at twice by the pool staff because you "can’t take pool toys of any sort" into the pool. This is more of a Japanese Resort in that area, so if you are ok with that you will love this place. I do not recommend taking your kids here for that reason. We ended up going to the huge waterpark about 40 minutes away and it was great fun, but we booked this resort thinking we would hardly leave it. We had to leave so our son could play and we left a lot to eat as we weren’t happy with a lot of the food. Golf Courses onsite were beautiful too. Just wish it was kid friendlier. The Westin Beach Resort in Maui is a great place for kids as is the Hyatt Regency in Maui. The Spa on the resort at Turtle Bay is really good, really friendly too

If you are without kids on this trip Turtle Bay resort is fantastic. If you have kids think about what they like to do before you go here. No toys in the pool means less pool time if you like to lay by the pool. The beach beside the hotel is great for snorkeling and the kids can play there with their toys, but the hotel itself has very strict and very unncecessary rules. The big deal is that the 7 nights we were there, it wasn’t crowded and most of the time there were hardly anyone in the pool, so the rule stinks. Husband and son loved the 2 golfcourses at the resort. Expensive..but normal Hawaii prices for golf but good courses, beautiful and everyone was friendly. The fitness center is great. The spa is REALLY GREAT. You can rent a car right from the resort.
