Turtle Bay Resort Oahu, Hawaii
Expert reviews
“The expansive yet laid-back Turtle Bay Resort has tennis courts, pools, horse stables, a spa, and two golf courses, as well as access to a protected swimming beach and several surf breaks right in front of the hotel.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Oahu, Hawaii.
“The North Shore’s only resort possesses a beachy, laidback, but luxurious style befitting the less-developed, unhurried North Shore. Of all the resorts outside of Waikiki, this would be my pick, for the vibe, the value, and the surroundings.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Hawaii.
“Turtle Bay, which spans nearly 1,300 lush acres that include five miles of untouched coastline, is the only full-service hotel in the area, boasting 450 rooms ranging from spacious oceanfront bungalows with a private infinity-style pool to accommodations with ocean views from the bathtub.”
“The only resort on Oahu’s North Shore, Turtle Bay offers activities from surfing to golfing that encourage guests to both relax in and interact with this remote and world famous setting. It also doesn’t hurt that guestrooms, restaurants and spa are top-notch.”

We had a great time at the Turtle Bay Resort
The atmosphere, layout, decor, and presentation of the building was very inviting of high quality. The food was delicious. The room was very nice and housekeeping was prompt and thorough. The staff were also very friendly and accommodating.
Food prices were a little steep at times, but we also understand the nature of a resort experience. It seemed to take awhile to be served or acknowledged for food service by the pool area.

Clean and nice but not for a first visit to Oahu
Very clean and huge laid back hotel with stunning views and its own beaches
It’s not about hotel itself, just couple of tips: 1. This is the very north of the island. In February it was very windy and much colder than in Honolulu or west of island. If you want to stay for a short period it maybe that there won’t be any sunny and warm days. 2. Very hard traffic in this location. Narrow road and a lot of surfers make you 2 miles drive to 40 minutes. 3. No any highlights near hotel. All interesting points like viewpoints, restaurants etc - are near Honolulu or west. If you are here it’s like an escape hotel experience. 4. Choice of restaurant. There is very nice restaurant in the hotel, but if you want to dinner there book the table in advance as much as you can. I booked the table 2 months in advance and it wasn’t so much time slots.

brilliant hospitality in a fabulous location
beautiful location on the far end of the North Shore. surrounded by the sea. recently renovated with really nice pool area and public rooms. Food nice. large room with a great view on the sixth floor. easy access and parking. staff all very pleasant and happy to chat. a thank you to Jeannie for being so welcoming.
car parking charged at $40 per night seems a bit steep. I have deducted 1 point for the irritating drilling noise. when I complained I was told it was a vacuum cleaner!

Piece of heaven in Oahu .
The resort is beautiful , real luxury in Oahu . Its large ! It’s 1 hour away from Waikiki which we liked and the location gives you access to the north shore and the eastern part of the island .
To be honest it’s quite expensive . To get 2 rooms for a family of 4 , I had to pay USD $2000 or AUD $3000. It’s fair to say that it’s not for everyone . For credit of this side I would have expected a larger pool , or at least another pool in the main area of the hotel .

Perfect staycation or weekend getaway
The last time we stayed here over 10 years ago, we had our wedding on the resort property. The hotel was grand then but now it’s even better! The updates they completed to the lobby area and the rooms are modern and even more evocative of the Hawaiian culture. New shops and restaurants make staying at the resort a pleasure. I only wish they had kept the Monkey Lunch cocktail at the Sunset Pool Bar.

Perfect retreat for anniversary or honeymoon
Room was really comfy and spacious. It has a great ocean view. One of the best sunset views I have ever seen in my life. Bay was great for swimming. We were able to get free towels and boards for beach.
Restaurant had great food but so expensive. Free activity number was very less. I wish that they had more free classes like yoga, pilates etc. There was only one daily basic yoga class and all other nice classes were additional fee. Renting snorkeling gear was also expensive. 30 dollars for 2 hours. I wish that it was free after we pay so much amount for the hotel.

The best resort on Oahu!
Turtle Bay Resort is absolutely stunning! From the room size (which included a patio/deck with a lovely chaise) to the beaches and pools, this resort is everything you need. I highly recommend taking advantage of all the things available to your disposal while staying. 10/10!!
When we arrived, it was clear that our room was not turned over (it was lightly cleaned, but it needed a full clean).

Best place to stay on the North Shore
Well appointed; clean and modern hotel room. Beach access. Grounds were lovely place to walk.
Peak period means lots of people, and a challenge to find food.

What a way to end 2023 and start a new year! This place is absolutely paradise.
This property is absolutely stunning! Huge crashing waves on one side where the pool and restaurants are. The other side is Turtle Bay which has a beautiful beach and snorkelling as well as a beach restaurant. The food was amazing. The staff were amazing. I would highly recommend this resort.
My only recommendation for travellers is to bring water shoes if you plan on swimming in Turtle Bay as there are lots of sharp coral, etc. very close to the shoreline. I cut my foot on first day in and talked to several others who made the same mistake. Other than that, it's a beautiful place.

Best remodel of a hotel I’ve seen in ages and great golf course.
Great location, great remodel, enjoyed adult pool. Beach was a bit small and crowded and beach service was fair but everything else was excellent.
Beach service and beach too crowded.

Great getaway!
The adult only pool area was a nice break!
It’s very hard to get dinner if you don’t plan reservations ahead of time which isn’t ideal for families with young ones

A special place to stay
Loved the beautiful, natural location of the resort. The rooms were gorgeous with the most amazing view in both directions. Our favourite part of the resort was the sunset bar.. we spent many hours each afternoon and evenings there. I also thoroughly enjoyed the bird watching tour available via the resort. The tour guide was incredible and we toured the resort spotting amazing migratory and native birds living on the property. Highly recommend the tour if you are interesting in natural flora/ fauna.
Prices of food and quality not outstanding for such a wonderful resort

Fabulous
Lack of transport options back to Waikiki.

Beautiful finishes from the 2022 remodel. Great choices for food, pools, beaches. Frankie at the bar went above and beyond to get me the right Lilliputian dessert!!

Fabulous
The location was fantastic. Restaurants and bars at the hotel were top notch.
Although my room was $5500.00 per 4days, the room doesn't have a bathtub.

It was a lovely location with fine amenities.
The facilities were very nice. The food was excellent. Great pastry chef.
We thought paying for parking in that location was outrageous. Especially the amount charged. We considered making the employees pay for parking downright greedy.

Everything was great
