As others have said we were met by Queen B upon our arrival who instantly made us feel welcome. After a chat and a quick tour we were shown our beachfront room. The location of these rooms is perfect. Brilliant views out to the ocean from both the room and the patio. Only wished we could have stayed longer ........ More

We were immediately put at our ease walking in to reception by being greeted by this amazing joker of a Dutch "Queen B" who told us that we were over-dressed and to "get that [--] [--] off right now!" Naturally we obeyed immediately; you can't ignore royal commands! We spent much of our week enjoying the company of our new... More

We spend one week in this amazing place. First arrival and you greeted by "The Queen" who's job is to make you feel relax and comfortable. Next to you meet the bartender who "loves" to make sure you are on holidays. Come morning you have a gorgeous boy to make sure you are well coffee, juice or watered up for... More

We stayed there for four nights in late March 2013 and loved every minute of it. We had a really FUN time. Bert and his team do everything they can to make the guests feel welcome and comfortable. The setting is in a beautiful TOTALLY PRIVATE cove and the rooms and facilities and beaches are first rate. We are from... More

What a perfect place to spend a vacation! Turtle Cove is a tropical paradise, privately set on lush grounds overlooking the Coral Sea, staffed by the most accommodating and fun people, and serving delicious, reasonably priced food that's prepared by a talented chef. I loved hanging out by the pool and in the open air bar at all times of... More

My 3rd stay at Turtle Cove in 2 years proved yet again to be a great decision. Even though its the wet season right now, it doesn't dampen the spirits of the staff. From arrival to departure I was yet again made to feel more than welcome. Bertie, Rick, Grant and Austin are the best hosts / barmen / baristas... More

My stay at this tropical paradise was one of the best experiences I have had throughout my travels around this amazing country of mine. The staff are great, the rooms are great (however, keep candy and sweets etc. sealed or the sugar ants will invade [this is an unstoppable occurrence, however it is harmless]), the beach is great, the meals...

It was our first stay at Turtle Cove and whilst the resort has had it's recent issues, with the arrival of the GM Bert, the p lace is back to normal. We splashed out and booked the beachside rooms as recommended by some folk on trip advisor and it was well worth the investment. The grounds are so lush and... More

The Turtle Cove Resort was such a delight! We had the rooms on the ground floor of the building over-looking the resort and had great ocean views. The rooms are simply furnished but are well house-kept every day. Remember to look behind the bathroom door for the full-size bath towels. We never closed the bathroom door and didn’t think to...

Visited today with a friend to get out of the heat and what a nice place. We are local but anyone can visit, use the pool and swim at the beach as long as you buy something from the bar. The Manager and the people that work there make you feel welcome and are very friendly. It is such a... More
