Really good Culinary Delight

The dining experience at The Westin Turtle Bay was a culinary journey. Each of the restaurants served really good food, reflecting creativity and quality. The buffet was surprisingly great, with a variety that kept each meal exciting, even for picky eaters like myself. I especially enjoyed the well-presented dishes that felt like they could compete with Michelin-star offerings. Every meal was a treat!

Relaxation Oasis

The spa facilities at Westin Turtle Bay were a haven of tranquility. I indulged in several treatments that left me feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. The serene ambiance and quality services created a relaxing atmosphere, perfectly complementing my stay. Although I felt the sauna could be larger, the overall experience made it worthwhile. It was the highlight of my relaxation routine while on vacation.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with its stunning views and friendly service that made me feel right at home. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed, particularly loved the private terrace. However, check-in was a hassle and there were some minor issues with dining that could use improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, where the staff went above and beyond to make my family feel welcome and accommodated. The food was delicious and freshly prepared, and the children's activities were engaging. However, while the rooms offered nice views and spaciousness, they weren't as pristine as I would expect from a five-star establishment. The beach area left something to be desired as well, with gritty sand and strong currents affecting swimming options.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were spacious and had great garden views, but being on the second floor without an elevator made access less convenient, and the ocean views were quite limited.

Staying at the Westin Turtle Bay was an incredible experience. The staff made me feel at home with their warm hospitality, and I truly appreciated their attentive service throughout my stay. The food was excellent across all restaurants, particularly the Indian restaurant which served some of the best dishes I've ever tasted. On the downside, some drinks were on the pricey side, and I wish they provided glass bottles for water instead of plastic. Overall, it's a fantastic family-friendly resort with great amenities and welcoming staff.

Overall, it's a fantastic place for a family getaway, especially if you're after a friendly atmosphere and a lot of activities.

Our room was huge and offered a fantastic sea view, but unfortunately, it also had a sewage smell that was addressed but not fully resolved. The bathroom setup could be improved with more separation from the bedroom area.

The Westin Turtle Bay offers a truly memorable experience, with stunning views and exceptional staff that go out of their way to make your stay special. The facilities are well-maintained, especially the adults-only pool with great views of the ocean. However, the dining options can be hit or miss, particularly in the Club Lounge where food variety and service seem to need improvement. Overall, it's a lovely vacation spot, though there are some areas that could be enhanced.

Rooms

While the Beach Grill by the adults' pool delivered fantastic meals, the Club Lounge was disappointing with limited food options and slow service during busy hours.

Facilities

The facilities were generally excellent, especially the adults-only pool and the various watersports available at the Boat House, but dining flexibility could be improved.
