Many thanks for the 5 * review! Glad you enjoyed your stay at Turtle Bay Lodge.

5 out of 5
An incredibly beautiful location with very friendly and helpful staff. We loved the peaceful atmosphere, and hiring the kayaks to visit the blue holes was a highlight! The rooms are basic but comfortable and clean, and most have a sea view which was lovely to wake up to in the morning! The manager was great and helped us with transport and organising tours etc. The food was good and reasonably priced compared to other resorts we saw. We loved our stay here, and would definitely love to return to spend longer and to explore the local area a bit more. Thank you!!

5 out of 5
Pros: Ambience, activities, proximity to several lovely places.
Cons: Snorkelling perhaps slightly overrated, but not bad nonetheless. Restaurant food a bit pricey, but overall good value compensated for that.
Hiring boats and kayaking to the blue hole was a stunning experience. .

Pros: Meeting other families travelling with children of similar ages to ours
Cons: Being out of town with no shuttle service and the high prices for fairly ordinary food
Facilities: Tired, Definitely in need of TLC; New managers are trying hard but the bungalows lack ambience and the price of food and travel to town was expensive
