    This is an awesome beach with a host of wildlife (fish, seal, turtles) has a swimming area that is reef protected. The resort area is beautiful and clean, and the staff is friendly.

    This place was a dream for our family - it had everything we could have wanted for our kids, 4 and 6, who swam and played on the water slides, surfed, and enjoyed the beach.

    This resort is wonderful, with probably the best beach I’ve ever been to. The surrounding area has huge, gorgeous waves; but there is a protected cove with a beautiful beach and perfect, clear water to swim and snorkel in. The snorkeling was actually quite good. We saw lots of colorful tropical fish...

    I couldn’t love Turtle Bay more! The location and property are stunning. I did all the walking trails, saw a baby monk seal nursing (from a distance) and enjoyed snorkeling from the beach.

    Our days were spent at the resort's beach, which is clean and well-kept... You are likely able to spot a sea turtle or two right in the bay as you snorkel. The water is crystal clear, warm, and calm. Other days were spent at the adult infinity pool overlooking the bay side watching the sunset, and surfers.

    Pristine and beautiful. Both the resort pool and the private Bungalow pools were excellent. Staff was always friendly and extremely accommodating. The views are breathtaking. I count the days until I can return again.
