Turtle Cove Beach Resort reviews
“The staff here is top notch! Great stay for our honeymoon!”
LikedWe loved the location, the property and the staff.
“Relaxing and friendly”
LikedThis is a wonderful retreat with a great staff and very comfortable surroundings. The owners are active in the operation and greet you by name and making sure everything is to your liking There is a large pool and hot tub for relaxation and plenty of lounge chairs. The large bar and restaurant have ample seating so you never feel your cramped. You can socialize or do your own thing.
DislikedMy only negatives are the wi-fi on site is spotty, sometimes it works well other time not. It does not seem to have good coverage in the beach front rooms. The other thing is, and this is mentioned by others the showers are not fully enclosed so if you don't want water all over the bathroom use caution where you aim the shower head.
“Home away from home.”
LikedVERY FRIENDLY host/staff and accomodating. Made friends along the stay which was wee bit too short for us. Very comfortable area. One of the Highlights of our stay was the beautiful peacock that made us doesnt feel like we’re in Australia. Would love to stay there again when there’s an event happening.
DislikedIf you don’t have a car, it’ll be a trouble for u to get around but hey, we do have ours! ;)
“Adults only and gay friendly.”
LikedGood breakfast to cook/prepare yourself. Right on the beach and secluded. Saturday night was a good party night with all guests and staff mingling,
“Cant wait to go again”
LikedThe resort was neat and tidy and staff exceptionally friendly
DislikedThe rain but it is a rain Forrest
“Fun, friendly staff, relaxed. Oasis.”
LikedThe location can’t be beat. It’s stunning and secluded. True tropical paradise
DislikedI can’t fault it.
“We had a great stay over NYE and will be back!”
LikedWe had a great stay at Turtle Cove. Amazing views, private and secluded, the accommodation is simple but clean and the bed was comfortable. Their new approach of bringing your own food and alcohol was great. It’s very well organised with dedicated spaces for your food and lots of cooking equipment. Everyone is very friendly and we met lots of other fun people. Nathan and Julian are lovely and super helpful!
DislikedInternet is limited but it was also nice to disconnect so wasn’t really an issue.
