We stayed at Turtle Beach Resort from the 3rd September - 12th September. The rooms were very outdated and not clean, lots of bugs and cockroaches. Staff were friendly at the actual resort but the booking management team are terrible - absolute mess around and charged us for leaving towels in the bathroom (the towels the hotel provided) and for overfilling the bin. It’s a bit of a pain to get into surfers paradise as you need to get the bus then the tram - they are extending the tram line and say it will be done by 2026 but still, for now it’s a bit tricky. Plenty of pools. There are also only stairs up the apartments so limited access for disabilities and those with prams. Getting between each side of the resort would be hard too for disabled as little ramp access. Disappointed as it is so expensive!

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 :)
Fun in the sun :)

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.
