Private Beaches and Great Staff

Review of Turtle Island
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 20 Nov 2022
This is our second trip to Turtle Isand, both times celebrating milestone wedding anniversaries. Turtle is a beautiful, private island surrounded by the glorious Blue Lagoon. We absolutely love the private beaches and the bure accommodations are fabulous. The staff will spoil you rotten and the food is fantastic. You can be a busy as you'd like or as lazy as you need to be. We love our private beach days and picnics. We pick up any trash that washes up from the ocean, look for shells, snorkel, read a book in the hammock and dance in the sand. If you can dream it up, the staff will make it happen. We even slept in the boat under the stars, They moved our day bed to the boat and decorated with plants and flowers. It was a dreamy adventure. Clamming, snorkeling, hiking, culture and oh, the singing. Max couples on the island is 14 with a staff of 96 so they spoil you rotten. The stress just melts away. Every day is glorious.
Date of stay: October 2022
Room Tip: Bure 7 has amazing views for Blue Lagoon and outdoor shower

Highly recommend Turtle Island! My husband and I went to Turtle Island for our honeymoon and we fell in love with the people and the island. From the morning Brekky with all the other lovely couples, to private beach picnics, snorkelling, diving and deep sea fishing, the 6pm cocktail time, beach volleyball, kava, dine outs or the choice to eat with all the other couples is fantastic. This magical and very special place exceeded all our expectations. We felt part of the beautiful turtle family and they made us feel at home instantly. The 12+ beaches are breathtaking and there is the perfect balance of either filling up your day with activities or just relaxing with a massage at the spa or lying on the beach privately as a couple. The Bure is spacious, tucked away for privacy and always topped up with our favourite beverages. The turtle team (all 90) are just beautiful, they have become family and they have created the Turtle magic. We can not wait to go back to our happy place again soon! We only stayed for 4 nights but 7 nights would have been perfect, we will definitely go back for a week next time.

Turtle is set in the most stunning setting - Blue Lagoon. It is breathtakingly beautiful. We stayed in the gorgeous Vonu suite, and its just superb with views to die for. Cocktails and champagne outside under the setting sun and dinner up there was truly special. Turtle is unique in that you feel part of the family, and the experiences are unique and really memorable - a different beach each day, a different dining spot.. its a wonderful property with the most incredible staff. Highly recommend.

Room tip: If you can get Vonu bure - its amazing

We headed across to Turtle to celebrate a wedding anniversary, to get some much needed rest and to recharge. Turtle delivered on all three fronts, thanks to the Turtle family who all dedicate themselves to making sure you are smiling and content at all times. Staying in Bure 2 was ideal, just a 30-50 m stroll and into the crystal clear ocean. The food was a highlight, delicious, nutritious with lots of variation, the cocktails - fabulous.
