4 star stay
Facilities at the park itself were excellent. Parking was an issue as we were not on vacation we were staying due to our home not being liveable, explained circumstances to staff who unfortunately not very accomodating for us to be able to have both our vehicles on site.

Great amenities, unfortunately construction on the road puts a dampener on the trip. Great old motel. Probably a bit overpriced for 90’s styling.

The property is in a great spot for transport, beach and has shops nearby for supplies.
The property is tired and needs updating. Or water was luke warm during our stay. Our kitchen was not fully equipped which made it difficult for us. The television services are very basic with no instructions regarding channels etc. The resort is quite dark lots of greenery but that blocks out a lot of light. We enjoyed aspects of the place but were not overly impressed.

I would definitely recommend this accommodation to family groups. Not great for couples as there are kids everywhere. So can be loud at times. Great for kids and lots for them to do.

2night Staycation
Had an awesome stay, check in was a breeze and the women at the counter was very smiley, warm & welcoming. Disliked the stairwell on arrival especially when you have kids and all the extra belongings you have to bring for them dragging those up the staircase was a nightmare. Our superior two bedroom apartment was very spacious tidy, clean and had everything we needed. Loved the different swimming areas kids had a blast at splash zone and all the free activities and movies how amazing it is for children. We’d definitely be back in the future. Thank you again for having us :)

The staff were very friendly and helpful. My kids had a great time in Club Turtle, mini golf, tennis, and on the waterpark. It was great Splash Zone was right outside our door!
It was slightly annoying however that we werent supplied with extra toilet paper, dishwashing powder or liquid. We only had 2 coffee pods also. Our stay was for 5 nights with 2 adults and 3 kids and the basic necessities to keep the unit clean were expected to be purchased.
Overall it was a relaxing stay but would have been easier to keep the unit clean if we were supplied with enough products to do so.

We enjoyed the pools, splash zone and BBQ facilties. The 2 bedroom apartment we had was huge and had 2 bathrooms which we appreciated. You need to know they are unserviced so you dont get fresh towels or anything. Your expected to sort all that yourself and wash and dry your own towels. There was horrendous road works right outside our room which literally went all night long and kept us awake which put a dampner on our stay. The staff didnt seem to care about it. Some of the staff were friendly and helpful and some were not. We stayed in June and there was only 1 pool that is heated apart from the spas. Good location if you have a car for getting to theme parks etc.
Essy walk to the beach. 5 min walk to a supermarket, cafe, pharmacy, butcher.
Overall we enjoyed Turtle Beach and would reccomend to others.
