Great place to hang Out for a few days. Good snorkelling, kayaking and a circus what more could you want. Would deck recommend. Only issue would be the distance from the town but they have a restaurant and just make sure you come prepared. Also the owners are great defiantly make the place special

My husband and I spent 6 nights here in Feb 12 and had a wonderful time. The accommodation was comfortable, rooms were clean and staff very friendly. Restaurant prices were quite reasonable with both cheap and more expensive options. I highly recommend the calamari salad - it was yum! The pool was out of action while we were there but... More

We have just had 4 nights at the Turtle Bay Resort, with our 3 teenage boys. It is a fantastic location, where you can snorkel straight off the resort (in our case, seconds from our beach-side room!) And it's great snorkeling! We also used their kayaks and went up the river by ourselves to the blue hole, which was a... More

Stayed here in Feb as for one night. The place is in an amazing spot but needs an update and a price check. I had an idea of the room price on the internet but as it was a last minute idea was thinking it would be much the same, I was very wrong. The price as a walkin was... More

So its not the Hilton but who needs to be at the Hilton when you are in paradise? Both my husband and 2 boys aged 6 and 8, truly enjoyed Espiritus Santos and all the island had to offer. We were there in December 2011. The island is an amazing place. Turtle Bay may not be the 5 or 6... More

Turtle Bay was the perfect place for a family vacation over Christmas & New year 2011. The location is perfect, right on a beautiful bay that is like a huge swimming pool with a good reef to snorkel right at your front door. It is very close to must see spots such as Port Olry, Champagne beach, Million dollar Point,... More

Has this place run out of puff? It was nothing like the reviews in Lonely Planet - sure, it has great views, a great location but the overall impression was that we were at a place whose days were numbered. The pool is one of the saddest I've ever seen - take it out, for heavens sake, what an eyesore!... More

We stayed here for 6 nights as a group of 5 friends over 2011/2012 - the location is amazing and we had something fun to do each day (kayaking, diving, millenium caves, snorkelling). It's by no means fancy, but clean and the restaurant serves the most delicious fresh food. We would definitely return :)

We were lured here by the promise of beautiful views, warm turquoise oceans, great snorkelling - and were not disappointed! The resort is comfortable, but not luxurious. The meals served in the restaurant by warm and friendly staff were freshly prepared, tasty and well presented. The continental brekkie (included) provided a fruit salad and toast that was enough for a... More
