This Hotel was a dream. The staff were absolutely amazing!!
2.0 / 5.0
We have stayed at this property 3 other times, this was our fourth. The prices have tripled now that it is a Ritz. It has yet to live up to a 5 star hotel, however.
Most of the restaurants serve similar food- not enough variety. Little mistakes with food orders were the norm. Attention to detail is lacking despite friendly servers. They screwed up the billing on our room and had we not been proactive to sort it out, it would have remained a mess. There are no bathrobes in the rooms or lighted mirror for makeup. The pools for more than 1/2 our stay went un heated and was not at all inviting as a result. We thought we had arranged a changing room on our departure- leaving late to give us more time at the beach- only to have to push to get access to a shower because they were fully booked.
They seem communication challenged honestly.
While they did extend a small discount to us as a result of the billing mess, and send up a charcuterie board to again apologize, it’s just not worth the price tag because the service isn’t equal to the 900+ rack rate for a standard room.
Also this hotel now has a ton of small children staying here so it’s great for families but not so much for couples. The adult pool is really tiny and all of the pools are very close together.
What we have loved about this property is the proximity to the ocean and the amazing all day sound of surf. That will remain a priority when we consider returning to Hawai’i.

It was a great view; however, we were not given a balcony. The room did have a sliding door and a view of the ocean. We had some discrepancies with adding the breakfast for two for $100; when we went to the buffet, we were charged for the breakfast and told to dispute the charge upon check out, and that was a bit of a drag to have to go through, so I would recommend not buying into the breakfast option beforehand unless you want to go through that at check out. The pools are exceptional at this resort, and the drinks are strong. The stay was enjoyable, and I was glad to book it at the last minute to visit my schoolmate on the north shore; we all had fun!

Spectacularly beautiful property with super friendly and helpful staff. Shout out to the night manager Michael who supported us through a scary health emergency requiring an ER visit. My only disappointment is that there is no hotel transportation from the hotel to local areas. No way to get home from the ER - we had to impose upon a kindly stranger. No way to get to the pharmacy for medications except the public bus. With a parking lot full of property owned vehicles, it seems there should be SOME means of supporting guests without a rental car, for emergent situations such as this.

Highly recommend staying here for a north shore experience. Beautiful surroundings, lots of activities going on on the property, and excellent dining options.

The resort is huge and very beautiful. Food is also good even if there aren’t many options.
Down sides they don’t have Kidsclub and they don’t do turn down which is odd.

It's our second time coming to Turtle bay resort and pleased with our stay again. Hotel and amenities are top notch. Only downside is restaurants. Breakfast buffet is great but dinner menu is so poor. They need to give people more option with deeper dining menu at restaurant.

Interior refurbished, but exterior shows its age.
Too many complaints to detail in this review.
Poor, poor poor. Definitely not up to traditional Ritz Carlton standards.

Everything was excellent other than the check in. They installed a new computer system a couple of days prior to our check in and they were having issues. Had to wait quite a bit in line to check in. Actually didn’t have our reserved room, but made amends.
The hotel and grounds were outstanding. A lot of add in’s and options. Very friendly staff. Very nice stay.

Property itself is nice. Recent Ritz conversion but service is not a Ritz or on par with a Four Seasons. Service is like a regular Marriott or Hyatt. Nickle and dime for everything makes you despise the amenities. Much better options elsewhere.
