Great family fun and relaxed vibe to the resort. Second time staying there. Especially after staying at other resorts before this place Turtle beach definitely needs an upgrade with its rooms. They are a bit run down, our toilet stopped working on multiple occasions, not the end of the world and it was fixed promptly but same problem again the next day. Gave up on trying to make the Dishwasher work again used the sink anyway , a few main channels on the tv didn’t work but worked in the bed room so not the end of the world either and it was great having a full kitchen however it was tough work cooking on the stove and pans with how long they took to heat up and cook anything half decent this was probably a main issue. Pool toilets also..there are only 1 in some pool areas and not the nicest, dont really see any kids using them anyway when swimming for hours, not sure any showers around even the gym has no shower or toilet facilities. The games room is a complete waist of time. Kids club looks great. The pools themselves are great fun and the water slides are awesome fun for 6-12 year olds. Cafe has great options and the pizza is high class. Drinks pretty pricey but there are plenty of options for food and drinks across the rd. Great place and location I just think after visiting multiple times and for the price they charge it’s due for some upgrades in room standards and around the resort toilets ect

So as soon as you get there you need $200 as a deposit, I thought 2.5k already paid was sufficient but no...you'll need to by your own everything also (toilet paper, salt&pepper, dishwasher liquid etcetera) as nothing is supplied and if you're really unlucky you'll have a family staying above you that has running race's at 6am every morning so no sleeping on on your holidays. Was great for the kid's but not for us adults

I wouldn’t recommend staying here again. The photos used on booking sites and the resorts own website are misleading and false. Descriptions such as “refurbished/renovated” were used however the apartments we experienced & viewed were in original condition. No air conditioning in the bedrooms. A severe lack of natural light meant that the curtains were covered in mould and bathrooms showed signs of black mould. Beds were old and less than comfortable. Bedding was basic and no doonas were provided, just starched white sheets with old, stained blankets. Kitchen utensils were less than adequate, no tongs for bbq, no vegetable peeler or potato masher, broken cutlery, one very small frypan which broke - handle fell off. Toiletries were basic and almost unusable. Staff weren’t helpful. Don’t bother putting requests in or even booking months in advance as requests aren’t taken into consideration until 24hrs before arrival, at which point they probably won’t be able to accomodate. Lucky my special needs child wasn’t wheelchair confined and able to use stairs as we requested a ground floor apartment but were met with - you have to call the resort and book directly over the phone with an additional cost to guarantee a ground floor apartment. Apparently 7 months of holding our funds wasn’t good enough.

I would totally recommend coming here for your holiday. It has everything you need. The 2 bedroom apartment we stayed in was big and it had a massive kitchen with a washing machine and dryer. There was kids pool play area which was great. Plus there was another 4 pools to choose from. Food was amazing and everything was clean and tidy.

Great resort for families lots to keep them busy. We stayed in 3 bedroom town house which does need a renovating. The couches was the most uncomfortable piece of furniture to sit on, extremely hard vinyl with no cushioning, shelves were broken/mussing from fridge which limited space. 3 hangers to robes, no drawers. Need door mats front and back.

The staff were very friendly and polite. The policies of the resort are ridiculous - have never stayed somewhere that you get 1 towel a 1 roll of toilet paper for a weeks stay. Need more? No worries we can add that charge to your room. Good having bbq and pools on-site. Bed was the worst mattress we have ever slept on - could feel all the springs - felt like a really old or really used mattress.

Fantastic resort for families with young or older children. The staff were top notch, we were able to check in a little bit early and were given a grocery bag with eggs, bread, milk and breakfast cereals for the following morning plus activity packs for the kids, free drinks vouchers and kids club vouchers. Such a bonus that we didn’t expect. We made use of the pool areas and splash zone. The kids loved the slides and could spend all day on them. The Deck Restaurant did the best pizzas and chips! We had a few meals there. Our room was beautiful with modern furnishings and a deck on the mid level, over looking the tennis court. There are plenty of BBQ areas and we used this for our dinner one night. Someone came around every morning to clean the BBQs and we saw the same with the pools. Very well maintained grounds. Pool was open until 9pm so we were pleased we could have late swims. Thanks Turtle Beach Resort for a fabulous holiday

Great value for a family holiday! We stayed in a ground-level apartment near the splash park and it was a great option for our family. The apartment wasn't 5-star fancy but it was pretty great for a family with 2 young kids. Only minor complaint was that the kitchen could have had a couple more convenient items like scissors and some baking trays. Otherwise the facilities had everything we needed and the staff were helpful and friendly. The resort is conveniently located near a supermarket and has several good dining options within a short walk. Also a short walk to the beach made it a perfect option for us. The kids thought they were in paradise with the pools and splash park. Adults loved the conveniently located Deck restaurant.
