My son and I spent a week in one of the Blue Sky owned apartments in the Turtle Beach Resort - I was a bit nervous given that it was so much cheaper than the Resort's own apartments, but was pleasantly surprised. We had a 2 bedroom ground floor apartment which was very clean, tidy and well maintained. The resort... More

We loved every minute at Turtle Beach. We spent 8 nights and got a great rate for 2 X 2 bedroom apartments as we travelled out of school holiday season. We travelled with my husband and 2 children aged 5 and 2.5 years and my mum and aunty. The resort was able to give us rooms next to each other... More

Good value family resort. We made use of the choice of swimming pools and enjoyed using one of the many BBQs to cook dinner. Room suffered from noise transfer from people above and was a bit dark but otherwise fine. This was our second holiday staying here and we would stay again.

We had 6 nights at Turtle Beach in April along with 2 kids (4yo & 18mo). I booked direct online and email correspondence with the reception was great. The apartments have a great layout - we had a 2 bedroom executive unit. The kitchens have all that you need to self cater and all the laundry gear in the bathroom... More

A good place for the family, location a bit frustrating as you are a short bus trip to surfers or broad beach and Mermaid Beach has not much on offer as far as restaurants and things to do for children outside of the resort.

Spent a fabulous weekend being spoiled on the Gold Coast with my husband - great except the rain showers and no sun tan. We had a great breakfast daily before exploring the local area and markets and on Saturday night we prebooked tickets to the new stage show Jaberwokeez at Jupiters Casino. Front desk staff very friendly giving advice on... More

We had an overnighter at the Turtle Beach Resort last weekend and (as with probably the resort’s main competition the GC, Paradise Resort), I have mixed feelings about it. In theory the facilities are great, but some areas are showing age or are simply neglected and the food service could definitely be improved. Here’s a wrap of our stay... +... More

We are very pleased that our agent matched us well for this holiday. We have heard of the Resort before but never stayed. They have everything and the kids though a jumping castle would make it exactly right. The food prices is what I would expect to pay in any resort and the pizzas are superb. A big place with... More

. I would rate Turtle Beach as a great family orientated resort that primarily caters for kids ages 6 to 15 year olds given the things on offer etc. Much younger and mum and dad will always have to be around to supervise. Much older and the kids are too cool and looking for other things to do. We travelled... More
