We recently stayed for 7 nights in May in unit 205 and found it to be great family room on the ground floor, providing great access to all of the resorts features, including the pool. Will definately recomend this room to all intending on visiting.

I stayed with the grand kids and we had a wonderful time. The resort is not something which I would normally stay at but for families it is great. No complaints everything worked, all you need is at the resort but surfers in on your door step. Best of both world really.

We stayed for 10 nights with our family of 5. The gardens and grounds were absolutely gorgeous and so well maintained. It was so quiet where our room was. Our kids loved the slide in the pool and we played in all the pools and enjoyed relaxing in the spas. Our rooms were well equipped and functional for our family.... More

We stayed here for three nights and I found it to be quite central to all locations especially with a bus stop out the front. The room was clean and very roomy but I found the furniture in the lounge room to be uncomfortable really needs updating. The rest of the unit though was modern. We really did not get... More

We stayed for a total of 8 nights. Rooms are a bit dated. Mould on the walls in the main bedroom, curtains in the kids room faded and mouldy. Apartment was stale smelling and needed to be aired every time we came back. Cracks in the tiles in the on-suite shower. Up and down the stairs was annoying, access cards... More

Last weekend, the 11th and 12th of May, we stayed in a two bedroom apartment at Turtle Beach Resort. We were welcomed with warmth, and were able to check into our accommodation early which was great. It was also excellent that our request to stay in a room near our family members was considered and we were put in the... More

We stayed for 7 nights, Awesome place to stay, kids had a blast, service great, room 233 was nice and clean with plenty of room for the family. Beach is a 2min walk and right next to shops, restaurants etc. will definately be returning cant wait! Highly recommended for a place to relax with the family.

Great resort if you have families and great apartments, three pools, tennis courts and crazy golf, 9 bbq areas fantastic!! You do not need to higher a car as you can walk to a large shopping complex. Beach 5 min walk from Turtle beach. Kids eat free on two nights at the resort.
