Turtle Bay Resort: Our (Almost) Perfect 2-Day Stay on Oahu's North Shore

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 มี.ค. 2020
- Turtle Bay Resort on Oahu's North Shore (Hawaii) is truly our favorite place to stay on Oahu when we visit. Not only do we love the North Shore, but the hotel itself also couldn’t be better.
Find our review of the remodeled Turtle Bay Resort here:
thehawaiivacationguide.com/st...
We give a full tour of Turtle Bay Resort, our pros and cons, plus an Oahu North Shore itinerary so you can have a perfect vacation to the North Shore. We lived on Oahu for two years and the North Shore was our favorite place to spend the weekends. Staying at the Turtle Bay Resort was a long-overdue dream come true.
Turtle Bay somehow appeals to both families and honeymooners (a tough thing to do) and has something for everyone. Henry loves running around the sprawling lawns, splashing in the pools, and watching his parents go down the waterslide.

Relaxing, refreshing, informative from begin to end. Great vidie. Btw, you have a very friendly lovely son.
A video has never felt like a vacation until now. What a video! Loved every minute of it and thanks for the tips!
We absolutely ❤️❤️❤️ TB. So sad it was sold and being renovated, now it seems it’s only for the 1%. We will never be able to afford the room prices now and feel good about it. Thank goodness there are still rentals on the land.
Super fun and helpful. Thank you!
Ahhhhh....thank you so much for your content, it is helping us get through lockdown while we dream until our next time in Hawaii! I have been to Turtle Bay 3 times and loved every single time! We also got married at Turtle Bay resort in 2017, (it was spectacular!!) Keep up the great content :)
Cutest family ever
Great video!
You guys videos are extremely helpful
Thanks for watching and the comments!
I love you guys! Coming to oahu June 17th
Are you staying at Turtle Bay?
Wow, Turtle Bay has changed over the years! We lived in Kailua from 1995-1998, and it was not so upscale at all (like, I’m trying to be nice but it was really run down). Locals were even allowed to use the pool without staying there (we went for a wedding or something, I forget). It looks so nice now!
It has changed owners a few times over the years. The current owners keep putting money into. They were remodeling one of the restaurants while we were there. We can't wait to go back and try some of their activities.
Lol yep, I swam in the pool for free also
We are headed to Molokai in a few months.
Another great video. We stayed here on our honeymoon back in 2013, we were in the cottages where the filmed the sarah Marshall movie, in fact I’m sure it was THE cottage or one of the two featured, we then stayed down at Royal Hawaiian which was gorgeous. We then went to Kauai and stayed at the Koa Kea in Poipu. We were in Maui for a couple of weeks in 2018. 😍Hawaii
That is so cool! I love that movie. You know how to do Hawaii right with that itinerary. We stayed at the Royal Hawaiian before we headed to Turtle Bay. We are planning on going back to Turtle Bay this summer as it is our favorite on Oahu. We should have better weather in August.
The Hawaii Vacation Guide , if it was possible I would live on Maui, but it’s not practical for several reasons, mainly because I’m British and getting a green card would prob be difficult. Although I work offshore on pipelines worldwide so have a decent income. Also still have my elderly Dad to take care of as well as the in laws. Anyway we will still continue to visit as often as possible. Been there 7 times so far. Maybe 2022 we will return. Looking forward to your next video 🤙🏼
I was there at the same time as you. I was tickled to see myself in your video. I'm the guy in the orange shirt and black genes watch your son dancing. I spent the week there and the weather got much better later on . I can't believe it was two years ago. I'm glad I went. It was a good vacation.
that is awesome! We went back again in June to see the remodel. We will be sharing a video on that soon. You are due for a visit!
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide
I am thinking of going back soon. It depends on COVID restrictions and such. It can't be soon enough.
North Shore Land Trust does some fun volunteer work restoring habitat out along the coast at this resort.
Thanks for sharing! There are a lot of wonderful volunteer organizations on the island helping to preserve and restore the 'aina.
Ok nice place
Great video ! Also sis ur husban is fine
She knows it!
Can you send a link to the turtle list island please. I tried going on the links but had a hard time finding directions. Thank you thank you!! 🥰
I love your videos and we just got back from Maui staying in Napili which you
showed us, thank you! I'm always wondering which part of Maui you live in?
Can you share that?
thanks for watching! It is a small island so everything feels close by.
Are you guys planning a trip back once it reopens? We're attending a wedding there in May 2022 and would love to see the updates!!
Most likely before next May! We are excited to see what it looks like with the remodel.
Hi! Love all your video’s!
We are from new York! We are planning for 2022. My kids will be 13, 11, and 8. We are a very active family. What months would you recommend are best? We were originally thinking feb for ten days but now second guessing because of the rain you hit! Is turtle bay good for kids my age? Would you do all ten days there? Or split up the shores?
Kristin, you and your kids will love anywhere in Hawaii. I am sure the Hawaii Vacation Guide would agree to split it up - North Shore (and especially Turtle Bay) is phenomenal but so is the whole island. February is gorgeous and yes there is a risk of rain but it usually passes, and the waves and whales are amazing that time of year. If you time it well there may be a surf championship on the North Shore as it is usually in Feb, amazing to watch. Enjoy!!
Hi, I've been watching all your videos and they've been really helpful for planning our first trip to Oahu. We decided on booking Turtle Bay Resort for 5 days. One of the days we were thinking of renting a car and traveling off Resort. Is it possible to get a rental nearby the resort, go on our excursion, then return before end of day? We want to avoid paying for the overnight parking fee. FYI, we're bringing our 1 year old. If you made it this far, Thank you for reading my long winded comment.
Thanks for watching! Definitely explore the north shore while you’re up there for five days. I think the closest car rental place is in Hale’iwa. Ask the resort as they may have a better idea on what to do.
Hi Guys, Love your videos. I talked to you a little bit on our trip last year to Maui. Would you recommend Turtle Bay in February? I was thinking b/c of the weather it may be better to be in Waikiki. Thanks.
It is hit or miss. We have been there when it was beautiful and another time it stormed the whole time. This video was filmed in February. expect big waves but Kuilima cove is well protected. Now with the higher room rates at Turtle Bay...
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide thanks for the reply, sounds like Waikiki it is.
When do you thin they’ll open in 2021? We’ll be there at the end of June
check their website for details, they keep saying the summer.
Opening in July , We just booked 1st week of july for 3 days.
Omgoodness adopt me!!!!
1k a night right now. fyi
ouch, they are coming out the reopening gates high
DONT STAY THERE. WAY OVERPRICED. Theres no beach in front, just a bunch of ROCKS. The patio looks out to a grassy area which is SHARED (NO PRIVACY) with all the other Bungalow neighbors, and if you have a noisy neighbor youre out of luck. You have to cross bridge to walk to the main hotel to eat and to go to the NICER sand beach cove (far away). This bridge is next to the Employee Exit door and they go under the bridge to hide and smoke cigs, pot, urinate (you smell it all as you cross the bridge). Their ad says the dedicated concierge works with you to design your itinerary during your stay (nope. they dont). You cant call for assistance you have to text your nonexistent concierge if you need something and sometimes they answer the text but most of the time they ignore you. Our coffee maker wasnt plug into the wall. It was on top of this 300lb huge TV stand so we just moved the coffee maker to the bathroom. Our bathroom sink was cracked in the middle and we texted our "dedicated" concierge as soon as we noticed it, but they ignored our texts. They said they would send someone over but we still had a cracked sink. We just gave up. Then we told another hotel employee about the sink and the NON-Service and we finally got compensation...a measly $150 (We paid $5000+ for 2 nights). We expected our dedicated concierge to greet us with drinks, help us with planning our stay, move us IMMEDIATELY to a better room (they had SEVERAL EMPTY BUNGALOWS). Instead, our "dedicated" concierge who greeted us said he was going on vacation and he introduced us to a lady that he said will take care of us during our stay (nope. never heard from her after the intro). I woke myself up at 4am to try to make plans for our stay, no help from concierge. I would stay there for $600. Anything more is a waste of money. They dont live up to the marketing promises in their website. FALSE ADVERTISING.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the bungalows!
