Awesome

This was my first time to visit the facility but i will definitely go back there. Their rates are very affordable considering its on full board. I loved the fact that there was plenty of drinking water including in the walk ways unlike most places that restrict drinking water to that availed in the rooms. Their staff are friendly and were always willing to assist.Their food was also very nice..

Turtle Bay is Bae

I found Turtle Bay clean and cosy. The staff and management are very helpful. Great variety of sumptuous meal #eat till you drop#. Apart from the seaweed menace that interfere with beach experience, I enjoyed my stay. Am definitely going back!
