For the cost, Turtle Beach is really 3 stars, but i enjoyed my one week stay and will give it 4. Many people complain about the birds which will be after your food during alfresco dining, but I liked the wildlife being there. The hotel is old and dated but so what! My room was big and comfortable with a great view. However. it was quite a long walk to the main areas; the hotel is well spread out. The staff and meals were good. I particularly liked the ice cream parlour, the swimming pools and room service. The beach was hopeless; lots of seaweed on it, and all the beaches on the south and east coasts of the island. If you want a good, clean beach, you have to go to the west coast which is mainly taken up with rich folks' homes . There is only ONE hot, small lift (elevator) to cater for all the rooms - terrible! Do take a trip round the island - well worth it!

We've just returned from 9 amazing days at The Turtle Beach Hotel & Spa. The location is just spectacular. Right on the beach, with amazing views, from all rooms, I understand. The 3 pools were very welcome in the heat. Very comfortable sun loungers all around the pools. There was never a problem getting a sunbed and fresh towels every day.

Elevators broken, bathroom leaks, even the door to the hotel room don’t work properly. This is a dated property that survives by very good staff (bar the front desk, they’re useless). There are SO many better all inclusive hotels on the island, and less money. Please avoid this property! We stayed in a suite and the smaller rooms in other properties were better. Don’t be fooled Elegance brand, there is nothing g elegant about this hotel

The price-performance ratio at Turtle Beach Hotel is disappointing. While you can enjoy a buffet three times a day and book a table for à la carte dining in the evening (which was usually good), the buffet food itself left much to be desired. The potatoes, for example, were dry and soggy rather than crispy. Most of the staff were unfriendly and made us feel unwelcome. Finding a sunbed was nearly impossible as all of them were reserved with towels by 8 AM. When we asked about activities or a hotel plan, the staff dismissed our questions, and after searching for a while, we gave up. Additionally, activities listed on the daily schedule came with extra charges, which is unacceptable given the high cost of staying here. Another strange aspect was the “dummy receipt” provided for meals, showing what they supposedly cost, which seemed unnecessary and odd. The laundry service was outrageously expensive as well. On the positive side, the rooms were clean, and the reception staff were kind and helpful. However, for those wanting to explore the island, this is definitely the wrong hotel. Even for all-inclusive visitors, there are likely better options offering more value for the price.

Beautiful view, large room with sea view. Fridge isn't stocked unless you have a different package. Great food, dining area was full of birds, if you leave your food unattended it would be contaminate entertainment was ok.
