We had a fabulous 10 day stay in this great hotel. Recently renovated our room was lovely as was the rest of the hotel , always spotlessly clean and everything is brand new. The best thing about the hotel is the amazing staff. Everyone was really friendly, helpful and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed . The food in the Greek restaurant was delicious . Breakfast was also very good as was the ice cream parlour and coffee shop. The evening buffet could do with a bit more of a variety. We went to a sister hotel on the West Coast for the day which was a fabulous experience. Lots of places to walk from the hotel and easy to get about on the buses to explore . Would highly recommend a stay at Turtle Beach .
Lovely hotel in St Lawrence Gap,recently renovated, rooms immaculate had everything you need. Beds and pillows super comfy (I'd buy one) The thing that makes this resort stand out is the staff!!! Everyone goes above and beyond to make the stay memorable ✨️ From the bar staff Maradona, shaneka,Ricardo Elizabeth at the pool, Winston and Dane. Restaurant, My girl Suzette, Joy,Donna,racquel,sandy,Tricia Casper, Nicole and Angela to name a few !!! Having stayed at sister property Waves, we booked Turtle and knew Kim Young would run a tight ship and she didn't disappoint ! Customer service was excellent 👌 We used the other properties as day guests and highly recommend it. Food A la carte Kefi ,good but not great, meat dishes slightly over cooked. Buffet breakfast Lovely Lunch repetitive and breeze was like a canteen with a view. (Previously table service and off menu) Oistins, always found something but never had a quandrum over what to choose 🤔 Having stayed before the Marriott takeover It is a shame that they have cut costs and removed the little touches. Fresh bread baskets and pastries in the morning-NO salmon and not huge choice but it is low season.
Refill of mini bar and tea coffee for example
Entertainment- some stand out acts but some lacking in energy and could have been listening to any background music in a supermarket ,and it showed guests getting up and going. One night was only my hubby and I left!! And that was only 9-30pm The pool bar should have been opened up and offered a dj set up ,(SANDALS NEXT DOOR WAS JUMPING) Treatment rooms are lacking but visit the spa at Waves for a truly magical pamper ✨️ Waves a la carte was excellent Tamarind was also very good Friends dined at Crystal cove and highly recommended Treasure beach Restaurant was gorgeous and beautiful on Payne s bay. So use the facilities for all hotel chain and utilise the restaurants and vary your experience to make the most of your stay! Definitely returning and can't thank you enough. The superstars are the staff AMAZING 👏
Very nice hotel with wonderful staff.
Trying to keep it to point.... Family of 4 (two teenagers) and first time in Barbados. 10 night stay. In general we mostly loved it. Top of the shop is the staff 10/10. Couldn't do more for us and very relaxed and friendly. Resort itself is great but not brilliant. Food is very good - not a huge choice however (not a problem for us). Clean and tidy too. The biggest reason for the slightly less than favourable review is the state of the beach. Its not because of the seaweed (you can't argue with nature if you go when we did) but the as-advertised beach images. A lot of it is NOT there. A good proportion is gone/eroded and is taped and fenced off. If like me you booked a lot based on the pictures, be very aware this is not how it looked in August and you may end up disappointed. If you can afford it, my advice is to stay at their sister hotels either Treasure Beach (very quiet, good location) or Crystal Cove (bloody fantastic in all departments). This isn't a bad review for the hotel as much... its more a warning against the companies selling holidays which show an unbroken beach. It's not there!
We had a wonderful experience at Turtle Beach! It is sparking clean, and beautifully maintained. The two pools and the beach were lovely (and the beach had lifeguards). All the meals were excellent. There is even an ice cream shop! Our room was large and cheerful, with a great patio. It was quiet and restful, but also a lot of fun! Everyone who works there is so nice. Thank you to Kim, the manager, Raquel (Rocky), Yehudis, and all of the servers, Naradona, Ricardo and all of the bartenders, the housekeeping staff, and everyone who made our vacation a delightful experience. I feel that the price was fair, and well worth the money. I would also recommend Turtle Beach to families and single travelers. We will definitely return!
