Turtle Bay - Kahuku

We did have a very nice stay, 7 days in a cottage on the beach which had a beautiful lookout. However, for what we paid it was in our opinion overpriced, but as I knew before we even arrived it is the only resort location in the area and for that reason everything was expensive ! by the time you added the mandatory tax and not so mandatory tip on you […] day to day bills it made every day bills (sorry checks!!) pretty steep. There must be an employ older people policy in the hotel, if that is the case they please let them dress down a bit, 50+ and a short skirt don't work !! One thing that we found strange was even though we were paying over $500 a night we got Paper cups to drink out coffee out of in the room - maybe it a cultural thing but personally I like a real cup ! You definitely need your own transport whilst staying as there are great locations on the north shore to visit and a car makes it so much more easier and fun. All in all though we had a very pleasant stay and would consider visiting again (when I win Lotto !) Skaityti daugiau

I thought that I was going to get a lux resort vacation but not so much. Maybe next year when they finish all the updating. The pool was great but the spa was tiny and filled up with large guys who monopolized the tiny pool. Wish the staff would have been mindful to that situation. also they shut down the pool and spa at 10PM - hey I'm on vacation here! […] who goes to bed at 10PM? The food was great and people were nice but I didn't feel like a VIP. maybe next time... Skaityti daugiau

The area was nice and relaxed in comparison to Waikiki, so that was a plus for us. The people at the Lei Lei Bar were awesome. Golf was fun! Room was ok, a little dated but they r n the middle of reno's. All n all it was a nice stay.

Best hotel on Oahu.

The resort is between two of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. We spent one day watching a parade of whales when we weren't snorkeling. Plus there's surfing, horseback, 36 holes of golf, tennis, four pools, and two hot tubs. Every room has an ocean view and the surf lulls you to sleep.

Great staff and great location but the rooms look like a 1970's makeover with cheap paint and cheap labor.

This hotel is far both geographically and spiritually from the fast pace of Waikiki. Located on Oahu's north shore the hotel offers travelers the ability to get out of Waikiki and experience pristine and uncrowded beaches. It's a great place to chill and enjoy the real Hawaii. Much of the staff live in the surrounding small communities where the pace […] is slower. As result the service is less businesslike and more personal. We live in Hawaii and selected Turtle Bay for a short "staycation". It was a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Skaityti daugiau

Stayed here for a wedding and it was amazing sleeping to the sound of the ocean! The room was nice however they had us move due to a broken sliding glass door. They offered to comp breakfast the remaining 2 days but I'm not sure that was worth giving up the view we had for a room in a higher level. I would recommend requesting a room in the east wing […] facing the bay on a lower level. This gets you close to the water and is more private when you look out your balcony. This also has the best view of the ocean. Skaityti daugiau

The location is incredible! The hotel itself is VERY OLD and going trough some much needed renovations right now. Had two very loud weddings and a surf competition during our stay and we where never informed that they would take place right by our room. We have a 6 month old that wasn't very happy with all the noise. Other than that a great place to […] visit with family. Skaityti daugiau

We ended a 3 week/3 island Hawaii vacation at this hotel in Jan 2013. The front desk was short staffed, but the porters were nice/helpful. Upon arriving in our west wing room, we were shocked. The price did not reflect this old, smelly, outdated room. We opened the door immediately to get some fresh air while we called the front desk. The views were […] great. The bathroom needed completely gutted, tub tiles were cracked, the grout was old and stained, cabinet doors did not close properly and the vents were rusted. The front desk showed us another room which was just as bad but did not smell. Disappointed, we asked to talk to Mgmt. He explained that they are in the middle of major renovations (which should have been posted while booking and greatly discounted - Even so I would not have stayed in those 2 rooms). There were no newly remodeled rooms available so Mgmt showed us a cottage unit that is separate from the main hotel and had been renovated 8 years ago. It was very nice and big. We were so happy for this upgrade - although for the price, it was about what I expected. The beach area is beautiful, the restaurants in the hotel were very good. The spa was in a temporary location, and not very enticing, so I did not go. Nice big pool, Plenty of parking. Close by are some good activities. It takes about an hour to get here from Honolulu. The trip ended well after our change to a new, clean room and we were happy with how Mgmt handled our issue. Skaityti daugiau

The room was luxurious. Everything was provided - bathrobe, slippers, shower cap, refrigerator, safe, iphone docking station, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, even an emergency sewing kit. We had visited the Polynesian Cultural Center (which I highly recmmend) and did not want to drive back to Honolulu (about an hour). There aren't a lot of choices […] of hotels at the North Shore of Oahu but this was a wonderful place to stay. We didn't arrive until after 9 p.m. and checked out around 10:00 a.m. (required check-out is 11 a.m.) so our stay was short - too short for such a great place. After we checked out, we had a late breakfast at one of the restaurants which had a great view of the ocean and the beach. The waves were unbelieivable. We then walked through the lobby and there was a walkway and display with interesting facts about the Hawaiian culture. Skaityti daugiau

We had a 6th floor room that just gave breath-taking views of the sunrise every morning. Coming from the East Coast, getting up @ 6 am local time was no problem so it was a special treat to wake up to that view every morning. The hotel was very nice and is undergoing some remodeling, which is a good thing as the bathroom appointments and finish were […] a little "Florida condo in the 80's", however that is a very minor point. The Surfer bar in the lobby was super fun and everyone was great. A wonderful stay! Skaityti daugiau

Rooms could use a major update, the hotel was expensive and you don't feel like you are in an exclusive area, as anyone from the public could walk onto the grounds, use the pool, hot tub, facilities, etc. I actually overheard someone talking about how they go there all the time as a non-resort customer and no one ever knows. Glad I am paying to be there […] :/ The beach is public which is ok, but the resort should make reserved parking in the front for hotel guests only. It was hard to find a parking spot at times. Food at the golf course was great and worth every penny, but the other restaurants were not that great and over priced. Now that I have been there once I would not go back, it wasn't as nice as I expected it to be. Skaityti daugiau

Turtle Bay was an amazing place to stay. I was pretty disapointed with our room though. We had a delux ocean view room. First off we got 2 Queen beds when we asked for a King. Our remote in our room didn't work and neither did the in room safe. My Husband had roses and a package sent for me there and called 3 times asking the it was held at the front […] desk till after check in so he could come get them and present them to me in our room. Well while I was checking in my husband went to look at the view and the receptionist gave me the flowers!! I thought they were from the Hotel, having NO idea my husband planned it!!! I felt so bad, he was so upset!! The Headboards for the bed wernt attatched so every time you moved they hit the wall, very annoying. Plus the wall paper was pealing in our room. But, as I said before, the property was gorgeous and we had a beautiful view of the pool and ocean from our room. Skaityti daugiau

For the Surfing enthusiast or simply enjoying the beach without the traffic of Waikiki, you can't get any better than Turtle Bay Resort. Fabled clientele, surf lessons, snorkeling, horseback riding, rubbing elbows with the locals; there is something for everyone! The resort is in the process of renovation, but you will lack absolutely nothing.

One hour away from airport and less than 15 minutes from Polynesian Cultural Center, Waimea Falls, and beautiful surfing beaches. The room was excellent and the staff very helpful and courteous. We would like to go back to this hotel on every trip to Hawaii.

It's a very pricey resort. Especially the resort resturants. Also very dissapointed that one of the resort lounges "The Surfer" requested a $10.00 cover charge admission just to enter. Room was outdated, however we were told that they were in the process of remodeling

Beautiful location and amazing views from almost every point in the hotel. The cleaning staff was very friendly and helpful, although the rooms were not that clean. The biggest disappointment of the stay (1 week) was Christmas dinner booked at 21 Degrees North. It was a nightmare dinner~ we waited over an hour and a half for appetizers and the food […] was only Ok, not warm and we did not have dinner until 3 hours after sitting down. The staff was totally incompetent and the whole experience ruined our family Christmas dinner away. The staff tried to justify why it had happened explaining something about over booking (not neccessary for guests to know). Part of the bill was taken off, but still desserts that were to be served as part of the Christmas features menu(and paid for) were never served. Pretty poor all around. Overall very disappointing and very embarrassing as I had booked this reservation months in advance. Over all, the beautiful view and scenery were breathtaking~ but our stay at the hotel was only mediocre. Skaityti daugiau

The resort was beautiful and the villas gorgeous, but when they're already charging such exorbitant fees, is it necessary to extort from your customers financially with everything else as well? The room service should not be ordered. There is a Foodland down the road about 5 miles, much better option. The people were very nice, but just be prepared […] to pay 3-4x the norm for everything because there really isn't anything close to the resort at all. Haliewa is maybe 10-12 miles and they have nice restaurants that are much for feasible. Hawaii is not a cheap place, obviously. But I have traveled the globe and stayed in 5star everything for work and haven't paid prices so high for quality so poor... I don't think anywhere. Everything else is beautiful, gorgeous wonderful and thankfully my man and I lovvvve each other's company so very much because we went on adventures every day to save a buck (that was more me. He didn't mind. I was just astounded. I've never written a review and I just couldn't not on this one). Skaityti daugiau

Turtle bay resort is a great resort if you dont need personal service and money is no problem. Everything is very expensive plus a $25 daily resort charge.The fodd was less than adequate in fact very poor which was a great shame. Our internet was not working and the response was to get the internet provider to call me, he asked me to find the modem […] which i couldnt, only after I created a great fuss did a person come to the room and locate the modem which was behind the TV and involved moving a large piece of furntiure to identify. This was one of many small problems dealt with very poorly. Skaityti daugiau

Great location if wanting to hang out at the North Shore beaches. Would not be nearly as exciting in Summer though when there are no waves. Not alot else to do location wise, unless you are into golfing, hiking or just hanging out by pool etc. Beautiful sunsets. Rooms are large and comfortable, although bathroom a little dated. Our room was clean, however […] for some reason the carpet in one area of the room was very wet (maybe someone stored their surfboard/wetsuit on the floor?) Do not think it is worth the amount they charge per night, as they also charge a daily 'resort fee'. Restaurants are nice, but fairly expensive. Skaityti daugiau

Fifth (?) stay? (Only place on the North Shore) Turtle Bay Resort is definitely showing its age. It also changed owners a year+/- ago and, with it, a decline in service, especially at the front desk. Gift shops and restaurant are too pricey. Parking sucks!!!!! The guard and guarded gate are gone (the gate is actually now unattended) purportedly to encourage […] access by locals. The net effect is PARKING SUCKS! One would think that there would be ample parking spots for the number of rooms but there isn't. The aloha spirit also seems to be missing or in decline.

The hotel in itself is nice, clean, and well kept. It's very secluded, the nearest little town is at least 1/2 hour away, depending on traffic. It's at least an hour away from Honolulu and the airport. One thing that got us upset was no quality super expensive food. No entertaining shows at night. The weather during Christmas was not really good, cloudy […] and windy. All in all was ok but not worth the money. Skaityti daugiau
