    The restaurant at the golf club sounded great as it was described but turns out to be far below any average golf club restaurant. Does not complement this hotel´s leaque. In the main restaurants/breakfast & dinner food was good, breakfast even great, but on consecutive days some (few) restaurant staff appeared a bit snippy at first.

    Great! Great! Great! Rooms all have good views of what Hawaii is all about (beaches, ocean, sun, surfers, even a turtle). The breakfast was exceptional though we did not like that all warm breakfast food (eggs etc.) had to be paid extra for. The little market in the hotel is fully equipped and also not so little. Important since there are only very few alternatives nearby. For turtles one needs to drive to some of the nearby beaches (15min). Don´t miss the historic landmark with a five minute walk : "Opana radar station" and it´s role on Dec 7, 1941 (attack on Pearl Harbour). It is right next to the surf school in the hotel.

    Some of the restaurants could be better value for money

    The facilities were stunning and the location is breathtaking. There is so much to do and explore, we always found something to do from visiting the stables, playing pickle ball, a relaxing massage at the spa, a bike ride around the property or relaxing by the pool.

    There isn’t anything we disliked, but I’m glad I had looked at reviews beforehand to know to bring water socks/swim shoes. They were very needed for how rocky the cove could be while swimming.

    It is hard to choose, everything was amazing. The room was beautiful with a gorgeous view. No matter where you were on the property, it was an amazing view. The staff were all so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. All of the food and drinks were delicious for every meal and we tried all of the restaurants, the cafe, the bars, and in-room dining. Everything was amazing! Even the name didn’t disappoint as we saw and swam near turtles!

    The fitness center looks amazing and the views are great when you're on a treadmill but it gets a bit crowded at peak times and could be hard to get a machine or weights.

    There's something about Turtle Bay that's just relaxing. The location is fantastic, service is excellent, room was comfortable. The servers at the pool bar made us feel really welcomed. The atmosphere at the outside bar around sunset everyday is fantastic - really enjoy the live music. We didn't want to leave.

    The restaurant food. Too expensive for the dish served.

    The stay was fantastic. Property upgraded us for our two nights. Views from the mountain/beach were awesome. The rate was on the expensive side but there are a few options in north shore. Based on what we received I would still stay in the property if I was planning to be there again for the same amount of time.

    The property is stunning, however given the hotel is switching over to the Ritz, my main comment on the rooms would be to get rid of the carpet. It’s filthy and makes the rooms stink! We had to sleep with the door open because the smell in the room, which is due to the old, damp carpet is unbelievable

    The main communal areas of the hotel are gorgeous. The refurbishment to the lobby area is stunning. This is our third time staying at the property but the first time since the refurb. The amenities and activities are fantastic. The little cafe in the lobby is also fantastic.

    For the price, I didn’t feel like the amenities, food, and some staff interactions were up to par. Jacuzzi was broken for our entire stay. We had such terrible service on 2 occasions that we actually gave detailed complaints. Hotel responded okay to the complaint but not in the way I would have expected for this caliber hotel. Mai Tai was awful and food was pretty meh.

    Location is amazing! Beautiful views, pool and beach are awesome. Kids love the waterslides! Lobby looks and feels really cool and comfortable. Had great service from valet, room service, pool towels, market, cafe, and some wait staff.

    Would have been great to have a shuttle bus between Haleiwa and the Polynesian Cultural Centre. If one didn't have a car one would feel trapped.

    Great views and large size rooms. Pretty gardens. Loved the coffee table books scattered around the foyer. Casual breakfast were fresh and healthy.

    The exceptional quality and cleanliness of the beachfront 'Ocean Bungelows'. The outstanding food and staff in the one of the many restaurants on site- The Beach Hut made our dining experience a very enjoyable one, on the both nights we ate there.restaurant . The turtles and fish swimming right on the reef which was on our doorstep made for great snorkelling ! We loved everything- the very friendly and helpful staff, the little extras (like the banana bread on arrival and the flower and seed necklaces etc) the exceptional room and the dinning experiences Thank you so much we truely enjoyed every minute of our stay and hope to return soon!
