This review is slightly late, but I kept on reminding myself that I HAVE to do this! We visited Turtle Cove in March/April 2012 despite reading rather disturbing reviews, but boy, what a surprise!!!! I don't have the correct words to describe how special we were made to feel by Bert and his two very friendly helpers, Grant and Wayne.... More

Stayed for four nights in a upstairs Ocean View room. These have been nicely refurbished with flat screen tvs and comfortable beds with good linen and towels. The rooms were spotless and quite spacious. As a return visitor I know that Turtle Cove is a destination itself and more than just a hotel you stay in while visiting Cairns/Port Douglas.... More

Turtle Cove has a soft spot in my heart, I've been going there for years. As one of the very few properties between Cairns and Port Douglas that has absolute beach frontage, it's all about location, location, location. Unfortunately over the years there have been a few rough patches where where food and service has not been up to scratch.... More

We spent a week there for Easter and we didn't want to leave this idyllic, upretentious resort on the Coral Sea! The setting could not have been more spectacular nestled within a grove of ancient Paper Bark (Melaleuca) trees at the beach's edge. The staff were extraordinarily warm, friendly & accommodating, the food was reasonable & reasonably priced, the rooms... More

From the moment I was met and transferred to the hotel until the time when I left, it was a very enjoyable stay ... despite the heavy rain which spoiled things a bit. There is a new chef - Allan - whose food is excellent and the service in the bar and restaurant matches the quality of the food. All... More

Stayed in 2005 for 3 nights and returned (from The UK), for 5 nights in 2006. Loved it then and would kill to go back, but can't afford the airfare :o( Helpful staff and great food. You cannot beat the location and the beach fire & barbie were spot on.

5 nights of total relaxation coupled with great staff, excellent food, amazing location, perfect isolation. If you need some time out, friendly company, a little bit of pampering then I highly advise to give Turtle Cove a try. I was staying alone and was made to feel welcome and comfortable from the moment I arrived. Ok so I really did... More

Just back from 6 unforgettable nights. The combination of extraordinary staff, amazing food and the unique way everyone is brought together socially (if you want to be) make for a truly amazing vacation. The location, right on the beach is stunning. Rooms are spacious, well fitted out, and serviced daily. The Beach, Pool and Jacuzzi offer plenty of options to... More

We had a great experience staying at the Turtle Cove Resort. The staff was the friendliest staff I have ever encountered in any hotel I've stayed in. The location of the hotel gives so much privacy, which is great. The rooms were spacious and quite comfortable. There's a beach, a nice pool, heated jacuzzi, massages, pool tables, a bar,... what...
